Our impact strategy
Wilderness Impact
Pioneers of purpose
As custodians of some of the world’s last true wild areas, we have a responsibility to act. For now, and for future generations.
Earth's incredible biodiversity is in crisis, and we're in business to do everything we can to save it.

Impact initiatives
Our impact framework
We have always existed to protect, explore and expand the world’s wilderness. Today, we help protect 6 million acres (2.3 million hectares) of land. We channel our conservation and hospitality business as a force for lasting, positive impact. To achieve this, we focus our conservation and community empowerment programmes under three key impact pillars: Educate, Empower and Protect.
Educate
Building the next generation of conservation leaders in order to sustain the future conservation of the wilderness.
Educate
Empower
We’re building a conservation economy with empowerment programmes that work to create self-sustaining communities.
Empower
Protect
We are committed to ensuring the world always has a version of its wilds that is unfenced, untamed and unpredictable.
Protect
Our pioneering conservation tourism model
The story of our business is one best told in two halves: conservation and hospitality. The bigger we grow our hospitality offering, the bigger our conservation impact can be. And as we boldly aim to double the amount of land we help protect by 2030, each initiative we support, like desert lion conservation or wild dog research, plays a critical role in helping us achieve this vision, together.
Our manifesto
As a leading conservation and hospitality company, we focus on immersing our guests in our many fascinating environments. Guiding them through each expansive private concession. Creating intimate encounters between them, nature and culture. And ultimately, increasing the world’s wilderness by involving more and more people in our purpose.
