we need your help

Hi, I'm Steve Galster, founder of Freeland, a non-profit 501(c)3 organization that works in poorer countries to counter the trafficking of animals and people.
On 25th January 2025, the US government suddenly froze all foreign aid, including our wildlife protection programs. Poachers and traffickers will not freeze their operations. Can you help us keep our frontline teams going for 90 days until the freeze is lifted? We are in the middle of training and equipping rangers and forming task forces to stop poaching and illegal trade of endangered species, like tigers, jaguars, exotic birds, and rhinos, and helping impoverished communities and local schools located next to national parks.

OUR IMPACT STORIES THAT INSPIRE
Freeland Film Festival: sept 12-14, 2025 in Green Lake, WisconsinWe are back!To celebrate our planet and people. We always need hope and inspiration to turn back the tide on species and habitat loss, climate change, and viral outbreaks, all of which threaten people, animals and ecosystems. One way to regain hope and realize our vision is to celebrate what we already have – Earth’s natural beauty, and the harmony that exists between people and nature in many places. And to scale it.
Good stories and storytellers inspire local and global action. |
