Lead on One Health. Wildlife Impact is an american based NGO focused on conservation impact evaluation, capacity development provision and conservation advocacy. We are unique because: We provide impact evaluation and strategic planning coupled with support and capacity development across a range of wildlife conservation and welfare issues; Our evaluation and capacity development programs are complemented by policy work to advocate for laws and policies that support long term conservation success on the ground; We focus on small to medium sized organizations in developing countries that often lack the resources needed to systematically assess the outcomes of their work; We build local community capacity for conservation by providing support and services to individuals working on conservation projects in regions where access to resources for wildlife conservation and welfare are often lacking.
