​
Today, America’s recovering populations battle health, genetic diversity, human-conflict, and habitat challenges.
The Solution
The Wildlife Restoration Foundation (WRF) works to bring wildlife back to parks by facilitating and providing resources that enable its partners to intervene when animals are in crisis. These partners contribute their expertise and talents, and even raise animals and plants to help grow lost populations and regenerate habitats.

WRF values and supports the stewardship of park gateway communities and park visitors that can assure animals coexist well with people.
