About us

In CRWF we work to ensure the prevalence of wildlife and its habitat through interdisciplinary and community-based stable conservation initiatives that promote coexistence and improve decision-making. We envision our organization to be a worldwide model in wildlife conservation, in both: natural ecosystems and anthropogenic landscapes. Our fields of action include research, education, communication, and marketing, all aimed to produce conservation action to reduce the threats that wildlife is facing.

  • Mission: To ensure the prevalence of wildlife and its habitat through interdisciplinary and stable conservation initiatives that promote coexistence with communities and improve decision-making.

  • Vision: To be a worldwide model organization for the conservation of wildlife, in both: natural ecosystems and productive landscapes.
