Women Rewilding Campaign: For Women. For the Wild.

Women are protecting the planet's most biodiverse places as rangers, scientists, Indigenous leaders, and changemakers, but too often without the support they need. The Women Rewilding Campaign is a community designed to help women conservationists lead, grow, and connect, so they can rewild our planet for generations to come.

Join the Campaign

We are inviting 100 people to help us go further, faster.

The Women Rewilding Campaign is a dynamic community of donors who each commit $10,000 or more per year for five years, generating $1 million a year in dedicated funding for women and the wild for five consecutive years!

Research shows that women's leadership leads to more collaborative, transparent, and lasting environmental outcomes. Yet only 0.2% of foundation funding goes explicitly to women and the environment. Women hold just 15% of top environmental roles in government worldwide.

With 3 million additional conservation workers needed by 2030, the cost of this gap—to women, to biodiversity, and to the planet—is one we cannot afford to ignore.

The Women Rewilding Initiative

Since our inception, Re:wild has directed funding to women conservationists while building a global network of women working to protect and restore Earth's most biodiverse places. The Women Rewilding Campaign will help grow and scale this initiative.

Launched in 2024, our Women Rewilding initiative takes an integrated approach to increasing women's influence, visibility, and resilience in protecting and restoring our planet, leveraging three pillars:

Backed by Research

What do women in conservation say they want and need to lead and succeed? It comes down to access.

Women make up half the world's population and 41.2% of the workforce, but only 28.1% of leaders, a persistent “drop-at-the-top” that rejects systemic barriers women face rather than a lack of capability.
"WiNN has given me a supportive sisterhood. I have met incredible women who have walked with me, held my hand, and reminded me that I am not alone in this journey." - Alice Gathe, WiNN Kenya Chapter Member, Founder of Bold Girl Unite

What your investment makes possible

Women Rewilding supports women across the conservation sector and around the world: rangers and Indigenous leaders on the front lines, women scientists working in the Earth's most remote places, and organizational leaders advocating for systemic change for generations to come.

Over five years, the Women Rewilding Campaign will commit $5 million to women rewilding our planet. More than half of these funds, $3 million, will go directly to women-led projects and conservation organizations across Re:wild’s global network of field partners through grants made from the Women Rewilding Fund. The rest will give women leaders the wraparound support they want and need – vibrant connections through the Women in Nature Network and access to professional development opportunities, without barriers.

With this investment in the next 5 years, Re:wild will—

Every dollar benefits women working to rewild our planet. Your partnership doesn't just fund an initiative. It builds a movement.

  • Deploy $2.5 million in direct grants to women and women-led organizations from the Women Rewilding Fund

  • Welcome 250 new Women in Nature Network members and 10 new chapters

  • Launch 25 professional development cohorts

  • Build the foundation to sustain and scale this impact into the future

Join us.

The campaign represents more than a gift; the intention is also to build a community of founding partners in a global movement.

You'll connect with grantees in the field and online, receive regular impact updates, get invitations to exclusive Re:wild gatherings, and join a group of people who believe the future of conservation needs more women leaders.

Can’t commit $10,000 right now? There’s still a place for you.

A five-year, $10,000 pledge doesn’t fit everyone, and the timing or amount may not work for you right now. There are meaningful ways to stand with women in conservation at every giving level. If you’d like to give in another way, or talk through what would work for you, we’d love to hear from you.

We are seeking founding members who share our conviction that women's leadership is essential, not incidental, to the future of life on Earth.

If you are for women and for the wild, we'd love to talk.
