Together, we are making the world a wilder place. 

The Wilder Institute operates Canada’s largest conservation breeding facility and research hub dedicated to the return of endangered species to the wild. The Wilder Institute engages in collaborative partnerships around the world to develop the innovation and application of science-based solutions to achieve long-term benefits for wildlife conservation. We work together with our government, academic, industry and non-profit partners to develop and implement conservation strategies that will benefit species-at-risk.

Using innovative science, our teams are working to save threatened and endangered species and return them to the wild, where our planet needs them to be. Our conservation expertise is in the recovery and reintroduction of species-at-risk and in community conservation, where we collaborate with local peoples to positively impact both nature and their communities by empowering communities to conserve their own natural resources for both nature and their communities.
