About the Foundation

Across the world, people with vision share a growing understanding of the urgent need to preserve wild habitats. The Foundation recognises wilderness as being irreplaceable, and a source of inspiration to us all.Discover how we are working to preserve the world's wilderness places and how you can help.

The Foundation is dedicated to preserving and promoting the value of the world's last remaining wild areas.We do this through lobbying, education and, wherever possible, by offering direct experience of wilderness itself. We support projects that conserve wilderness and those seeking to re-establish it in Great Britain and overseas. The Wilderness Foundation was established in 1974 by Sir Laurens van der Post, writer, explorer and philosopher, and Dr Ian Player DMS, international conservationist renowned for saving the white rhino and founder of the World Wilderness Congress movement.

We work closely with our sister organisations The Wilderness Foundation in South Africa, The WILD Foundation in the USA and other groups in Europe and Asia.

Together we share a common belief in the irreplaceable value of wilderness, which contains the wonders of pristine nature, and enables us to return to our origins and draw a deep sense of belonging and inspiration.

Explorers and writers, such as the Foundation’s founder Sir Laurens van der Post and its patron, Sir Wilfrid Thesiger, often wrote of the ancient link between humanity and nature, and how within our fast moving cultures of today, much of this link has been forgotten.

We believe that by visiting the unspoiled places where nature has been allowed to exist since time began, this connection is rekindled.
