SPONSORS
The World Wilderness Congress is a non-profit initiative founded (1977) and managed by The WILD Foundation. It has no permanent funding and each WWC achieves its conservation objectives through the generous support of financial sponsors, the work of volunteers and organizations that provide valuable in-kind help, and the delegates that support the Congress and our scholarship program through their registration fees. Many of the delegates who come from less developed countries are sponsored through funds raised by WILD and its partners.
Please join us, and receive the benefits, as a WWC financial sponsor [click here].
Many people and organizations make the WWC happen. The following deserve special acknowledgement and our sincere appreciation, for helping to protect and sustain wilderness while meeting the needs of human communities.
