Wildlife

From forests and rivers to oceans and islands, wildlife connects every part of our planet. Re:wild helps species and ecosystems recover and thrive.

Wildlife recovery starts here.

Every species—whether it’s the two-inch Bee Hummingbird or the 82-foot Blue Whale, the tiniest mushroom or a towering Kapok tree—plays a vital role in keeping ecosystems healthy. From tapirs dispersing seeds to fungi cycling nutrients, butterflies pollinating flowers, and scavengers keeping disease in check, life on Earth is an intricate web where every thread matters.

At Re:wild, we protect and restore species on the brink of extinction, because healthy wildlife means healthy ecosystems—and a healthier planet for all of us.

Driving Conservation At Scale

Re:wild tackles the world’s biggest conservation challenges through eight focused strategies. By working locally with partners and Indigenous communities—and connecting these efforts globally—we scale solutions, drive innovation, and accelerate impact for wildlife and wild places.

Nature’s Most Wanted

The Search for Lost Species is our global quest to find plants, animals, and fungi that have been missing from science for at least ten years—sometimes centuries.

Over the years, we’ve confirmed the rediscoveries of a tap-dancing spider, an iridescent mole, a fanged mini-deer, and the world’s largest bee. Each rediscovery reminds us that hope can be found in the most unlikely places and inspires conservation actions to protect and restore the wild.

Restoring Wildlife and Wild Places

Recovery is about more than individual species—it’s about revitalizing entire ecosystems. Re:wild restores habitats, reintroduces native species, and removes threats so wildlife can thrive again. Many of the species we focus on are unique to specific regions, and the work we do in these ecosystems directly supports the remarkable wildlife highlighted below.
