The following list of projects covers almost two decades of collaborations and partnerships for the benefit of wildlife across the United States and around the world.

While our primary focus has always been, and remains, establishing and maintaining permanent wildlife sanctuaries, the Humane Society Wildlife Land Trust also forms partnerships and coalitions to further help wildlife by sustaining vital habitat. These collaborations come in many shapes and sizes. In some cases, HSWLT provides financial support to critical projects to help advance good science and advocacy on behalf of wildlife protection. Other partnerships entail more extensive collaborations that enable the protection of very large parcels of land. Each project represents a unique cast of characters and set of objectives, but all are rooted in our commitment to providing wildlife with safe places to live, forever.
