The Wilderness Foundation is a socio environmental charity founded in 1976 by the international conservationist Dr Ian Player DMS, renowned for saving the white rhino, and the late Sir Laurens van der Post, writer, explorer and philosopher. We are dedicated to saving the last of the world's wild places. We increase understanding of the value of wilderness through offering direct experience of wild places through a trails programme in Scotland,Botswana and South Africa, and through social benefit projects that demonstrate how wilderness offers a vital key to the education and health of society and individuals. Understanding wilderness and wild lands as a positive force for social and environmental sustainability, our work has been pioneering - vulnerable youth, as well as political and community decision makers, have experienced the irreplaceable qualities of wilderness directly and the rediscovery of identity, perspective and leadership skills it tends to stimulate. The WildernessFoundation UKs work is concentrated on three areas: Education and Environmental Leadership Development, Health and wellbeing for the individual and Society linked to connection to nature and wilderness immersion, Wilderness Action.
