Starting today, the Wilder Institute/Calgary Zoo’s newest conservation facility, the Archibald Biodiversity Centre (ABC), is home to iconic species-at-risk such as northern leopard frogs, whooping crane, Vancouver Island marmots, and more. Read More We don’t believe in inevitability. We believe in taking action. We know it is possible to bring endangered species back from the brink. Whooping cranes, Vancouver Island marmot and other species in Canada and around the world survive in the wild in part due to the work of the Wilder Institute. We’ve built our reputation as a global authority on wildlife conservation by protecting species in our own backyard and collaboratively engaging local communities abroad to foster economic solutions that benefit both animals and people.

Our expertise is in the recovery and reintroduction of species-at-risk, as well as community conservation, where we collaborate with people to support them in positively impacting both nature and communities around the world.Read about our conservation efforts Conservation Translocations Species reintroductions are becoming increasingly important tools to stem the extinction crisis. A reintroduction is the deliberate release of an endangered species into the wild, from captivity or relocated from other wild areas, in order to prevent its extinction. How Wilder’s helping Community Conservation Community conservation is based on the idea that socio-economic benefits and community engagement can alleviate poverty and improve human welfare while supporting conservation efforts and reducing threats to biodiversity.

To learn more, we are conducting genetic work that will help us better understand how unique each population is. #WildWorld Twitter feed video.
