Wilderness Conservancy

Wilderness Conservancy ("WILDCON") "is a non-profit conservation foundation incorporated on August 11, 1992...

"WILDCON is a direct action foundation that provides hard assets to persons and organizations (governmental and non-governmental) with specific needs that cannot be addressed because of lack of funding. To be considered by WILDCON, the requesting party's need must relate directly to critical environmental matters such as the saving of endangered or threatened species of fauna or flora. WILDCON's "due diligence" in the form of on site research (verification) determines the validity of the stated need. There is often a significant difference between a "want" and a "need". It is the latter which WILDCON seeks to address."
