Wildlife Conservation Solutions

Species Restoration Projects
The Endangered Species Act works to ensure the survival of our most critically endangered wildlife; however, many species in danger are not covered by it. We created Species Restoration Projects to identify species in need of attention.

Emerging Wildlife Conservation Leaders
An initiative for emerging leaders in the wildlife conservation field to participate in capacity building and intense training in campaign development and skills.. Participants implement a two-year international wildlife issue campaign.

Livestock Producer Advisory Council
In 2004 we created the Livestock Producer Advisory Council, consisting of sheep and cattle ranchers, to forge better relations between the ranching and conservation communities. Participants on the council have helped us further our wildlife conservation goals while addressing the concerns of livestock producers.

Proactive Carnivore Conservation Fund
Through this fund, we help ranchers, landowners and communities live successfully and responsibly with carnivores. Our success at expanding the range of predators will be directly proportional to our success at reducing conflict between predators and humans.

Wolf Compensation Trust
The Bailey Wildlife Foundation Wolf Compensation Trust is a model of the incentives that might be offered to private landholders for supporting threatened and endangered species. The trust is used to compensate ranchers in the U.S. northern Rockies and Southwest US for all verified livestock losses to wolves

Grizzly Compensation Trust
In 1997, we established this trust to offer compensation as a way to help reduce grizzly bear-related economic losses for individual ranchers and farmers while promoting grizzly bear conservation.

Endangered Species Reward Fund
We are committed to working with law enforcement agencies to stop the illegal killing of imperiled species. This incentive helps to uncover information in incidents involving a variety of species, including bears, cormorants, sea otters and wolves.


Coexisting with Carnivores
We are working to establish a new program that will provide information about the non-lethal tools and educational resources available to prevent conflicts with carnivores. Our goal is to guide communities, livestock owners, landowners, recreationists and resource professionals to identify working solutions to promote the ability of humans and carnivores to live in harmony.
