Wildlife Works remote jobs and company guide

What started in 1997 with a simple yet profound idea has transformed into a leader in wildlife conservation, advocating for solutions that not only protect endangered species but also empower local communities. Wildlife Works, founded by Mike Korchinsky, believes that true conservation must work for the communities that live alongside wildlife. This principle drives the organization to develop innovative, market-based approaches that engage local partners in efforts to sustain the biodiversity of our planet.

Throughout its journey, Wildlife Works has launched successful REDD+ (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation) projects in regions like the Kasigau Corridor in Kenya and the Mai Ndombe Project in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. These projects are unparalleled in addressing climate change while uplifting community standards of living. By connecting local needs with the global market for carbon credits, Wildlife Works has effectively preserved millions of hectares of forests, reduced CO2 emissions, and fostered economic opportunities. The organization emphasizes the importance of community involvement and sustainable development as integral to conservation, ensuring that wildlife and people thrive together in harmony.
