Apply and secure funding to contribute to conservation missions. Each mission is centered around conserving one or more species and involves tasks such as collecting, sequencing and biobanking.
Whether you are an individual or a corporation, contribute funds to help support our Conservation Challenges and benefit-sharing projects in support of Indigenous People and Local Community driven conservation activities and land stewardship, and earn Wise Ancestors certification.
Wise Ancestors Conservation Challenges are co-developed with Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities.
Participatory project co-design gives Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities agency over decisions related to their species, land and future. Terms and conditions will be mutually agreed upon prior to project initiation, including the rules around sample and data access, resource labeling, resource usage, and benefit-sharing plans.
A team of passionate and committed people working towards the same goal: saving our biodiverse planet
