01 Curate
We track what works.
Every resource we link to has been read, evaluated, and chosen by someone on our team. We update the list as the field evolves.
Our work
Four fronts. One movement.
How NWLFD spends every dollar
Different leverage points for the same goal: a wilder, cleaner future.
We organize our work around four programs because that's how change actually compounds — when species get attention, sustainability gets adopted, learners get curious, and research gets funded, all at once.
01 — Species spotlight
Meet the wildlife we work to protect.
Curated profiles of birds, mammals, marine life, reptiles, amphibians, and insects — sourced from the best researchers in each field.
Explore species
02 — Sustainability tips
Action you can take this week.
Vetted habits across recycling, water, energy, food, gardens, and transportation — from the EPA, Energy Star, and trusted partners.
Start with one tip
03 — Educational resources
For kids, families, and classrooms.
A curated library: Ranger Rick, Project WILD, Cornell BirdSleuth, Audubon, The Nature Conservancy — chosen for ages and stages.
Browse resources
04 — Research & publications
Evidence-based conservation.
Direct links to the institutions and journals shaping the field — Smithsonian SCBI, WCS, USFWS, NOAA, Conservation Letters, and more.

Curate. Connect. Deploy.
We're a small team. We multiply our impact by amplifying the people doing the best work in each field — and routing your support directly to them.
02 Connect
We reduce the search cost to zero.
Educators, donors, and curious citizens shouldn't have to assemble a curriculum from scratch. We do that work so you don't have to.
03 Deploy
We fund the field directly.
Donations are routed into community cleanups, classroom partnerships, and research grants. No bloat, no overhead games.
