Wildlife Protection Solutions is an international nonprofit that uses technology (software and hardware) to protect endangered species, ecosystems, and support human–wildlife coexistence through conservation, education, and collaboration.
Wildlife Protection Solutions centers its grantmaking on conservation technology and direct field support: camera traps, rugged monitoring devices, solar panels, software deployments, and targeted project funding for species protection. The largest recent grant in the record was $112,000 to Gorilla Rehabilitation and Conservation Education Grace Cente for GRACE Gorillas, followed by $110,000 to Cats Aren't Trophies for program support and $86,000 to the International Rhino Foundation for program support. That mix shows a funder that backs both species-specific conservation work and the tools used to carry it out. Its recent grants also show repeated support for the same conservation partners over multiple years, including GRACE Gorillas and Butterfly Pavilion, alongside smaller awards for education, research, and community infrastructure. The foundation’s stated focus areas include wildlife protection, endangered species conservation, habitat monitoring, anti-poaching support, conservation technology and AI, and environmental education. Through those channels, it supports gorilla conservation and habitat expansion, camera-based biological research, freshwater access via solar-powered pumps, marine mammal research, and public-facing outreach costs.
In gorilla conservation, Wildlife Protection Solutions gave $112,000 in 2024 and $61,505 in 2025 to Gorilla Rehabilitation and Conservation Education Grace Cente for GRACE Gorillas, and it also awarded $64,155 in 2023 for the same project. For habitat expansion, Butterfly Pavilion received $59,284 in 2025 and $50,948 in 2024 for land for expansion, after a $34,386 award in 2023 for the same purpose. The foundation also backs field research and community-facing conservation work. Idea Wild received $33,933 in 2024 and $15,706 in 2023 for cameras for biological research. Katie Adamson Conservation Fund received $20,000 in 2024, $20,000 in 2025, and $20,000 in 2023 for a freshwater solar pump. Other grants supported educational outreach programs at Nature's Educators Wildlife Program and marine mammal research at University Hawaii Manoa.
Typical grants cluster around a $20,000 floor: the p25 and median are both $20,000, while the p75 is $50,948. The record shows repeated support for some organizations across multiple years, including Gorilla Rehabilitation and Conservation Education Grace Cente, Butterfly Pavilion, Idea Wild, and Katie Adamson Conservation Fund. Wildlife Protection Solutions does not fund individuals and does not make program-related investments. The available record suggests a mix of operating-style program support, capital or land acquisition, equipment and technology procurement, and infrastructure support rather than a single grantmaking format.
