WLT Partners are the in-country local NGOs who manage the projects and reserve areas that WLT supports. Key to WLT’s philosophy is to empower local NGOs with financial and technical assistance but not to manage them. The purchase of land is always through project partners and WLT does not own any of the overseas reserves, so each project we support is run and managed by an in-country partner organisation.

The concept of the partner relationship has developed over the past 25+ years and the aim is to encompass a deeper level of commitment, focusing on the partners’ priority activities and needs, both for their conservation challenges, as well as their organisational development in order for them to effectively protect threatened habitats around the world using their local expertise.

OPERATIONAL PARTNERS

Our operational partners are organisations with similar objectives to the WLT. In common with WLT, these organisations fund conservation activities to protect threatened habitats and species.

WLT has formed partnerships with these organisations to strengthen fundraising opportunities, to exchange knowledge and experience and to enhance each others’ supporter and conservation partner networks.
