Wildlife Alliance is a conservation and human rights organization focused on protecting tropical rainforests and endangered wildlife, with a strong emphasis on the Cardamom Rainforest, one of the region’s largest intact forest landscapes. The private company is located in the US. Established in 1995, the organization has developed ranger-led protection programs that have safeguarded 1.7 million hectares of forest, prevented poaching and illegal logging, removed snares, and rescued wild animals, including critically endangered species. A key initiative is the reintroduction of tigers to areas where they were declared functionally extinct, in collaboration with government partners under the Tiger Action Plan. Wildlife Alliance also implements community-based ecotourism projects that provide sustainable livelihoods for local people, involving former forest exploiters as guides and promoting rural economic development while conserving biodiversity. The American company's conservation strategy includes reforestation, habitat restoration, and carbon emission reduction through projects like the Southern Cardamom REDD+ initiative. The organization operates wildlife rescue and care programs at Tamao Wildlife Rescue Centre, supported by an animal sponsorship program. The company's work integrates modern monitoring technologies, law enforcement, community partnerships, and sustainable development to address deforestation, wildlife trafficking, and habitat loss, contributing to climate regulation and biodiversity preservation in tropical forests.
