I was very happy to participated of a great event and share all experiences. We all learn a lot in these type of event.
IWCN has been inspirational from the start, from their first conference last year, to the support the council offers to everyone who is trying to aid the co-existence cause. I am so glad that I have gotten to work with this organization and the individuals who run the organization, who definitely make you feel warm and welcomed, and are so eager to help your goals for the coexistence cause. I am humbled to work with this organization and look forward to many more years of working with them. Cheers to a wonderful organization and the MASSIVE difference IWCN is making!
I recently participated in a webinar organized by IWCN, honestly it has been the webinar or online event in which I have participated and felt more comfortable. The guests at the event were very warm in their reception of the participants, and the platform worked perfectly for an activity with very clear and interesting presentations.
I am a professional wildlife artist and conservationist. I am also a supporter of IWCN as a member of their Coexistence Council. I learned about IWCN during a presentation on nonlethal conflict management between ranchers and wolves. I strongly support their mission and philosophy behind human - wildlife conflict amongst communities around the world. I truly believe that by supporting IWCN we can create a strong community of people who think alike and create a better system where humans can live side by side with wildlife and appreciate its beauty.
An exceptionally dedicated group of people who are passionate about -- and have compassion for -- wildlife.
IWCN fill a key role to connect practitioners working in the field of human wildlife coexistence efforts. This field is tough, filled with conflict and oft hidden agendas that want to harvest from the global ecological commons. There are no easy fixes and silver bullets to solve this vexing and at times elusive ideal of establishing coexistence in presence of an ever expanding human population pressures and demands. IWCN provide for knowledge sharing, collegiate support, and a network for learning and camaraderie. This is an essential platform for those that work in this challenging field that is more needed now than ever.
The International Wildlife Coexistence Network help bring resources and financial support to our conservation work in the Mayan Jungle in Mexico. Thank you for being so supportive!
What an incredible organization with an outstanding mission and people! I have participated in several of their educational calls always finding value in them. But most importantly, I am impressed with how IWCN dives deep into some core issues, and is able to execute at the local level.
Would highly recommend supporting IWCN without hesitation!

International Wildlife Coexistence Network work is unique in its scientific and research based razor focus on solutions to sustaining a healthy human relationship to the natural world and the planet. The rising awareness and global concern for the the climate, biodiversity loss and the health of the natural world is arguably as high as it has ever been. Evidenced by a daily stream of reporting, images, blogs, soundbits from social media to print. IWCN pulls the lid off emergent global thinking that humans, all global citizens, are part of the natural world rather than separate from it. IWCN does this by exposing the disconnect between us and the natural world, in both our thinking and our actions . The disconnect we have become so accustomed to in our daily lives. More importantly, IWCN does this by offering proven solutions to coexisting with the natural world and all species we share this planet with. IWCN offers resources for how to share our world - to coexist with - critical pollinating insects globally and wolves locally. I recommend checking out the IWCN website and getting involved with IWCN and in your community.
Working with IWCN to tell the story that humans and wildlife CAN coexist is probably the most important role I'll ever play in my life. When I think about the world I want to leave for my daughter, IWCN is providing the vision and expertise to create it by providing access to solutions, experts, and gathering an international community to improve life for all beings.
The International Wildlife Coexistence Network is an open-source global coexistence organization that aims to reduce human-wildlife conflicts around the world. IWCN collaborates with scientists, researchers, academics, agricultural experts, tribal leaders, and government specialists to provide sustainable and non-lethal solutions to those dealing with human-wildlife conflicts. The organization has been in existence for less than 2 years but has already amassed a vast networks of experts and impressive library of resources on wildlife coexistence solutions.
It has been an honour to serve on the board of IWCN. The team works with dedication and professionalism to advance the vision and mission of the organisation. Their passion and commitment towards wildlife co-existence is inspiring.
I look forward to many years with this org.
IWCN is truly a passionate non-profit headed in the right direction. I'm grateful for all the opportunities they've offered me.
IWCN is great. They're genuinely interested in empowering youth and have helped Timberline High School's environmental club (TREE Club) advocate for wolves in ways we've never done before. We're super grateful for everything they've done for us and all animals worldwide.
I have sponsored multiple wildlife non-profit organizations over the past 30 years. What I appreciate about IWCN is the FOCUS on coexistence. So many non-profits get randomized by so many different species and causes that it is hard to accomplish anything. I find sometimes they even "compete." IWCN is collaborative and very focused. It's a great combination to make progress!!
I am very impressed with the IWCN. They are at the forefront of research and collaboration to build a global network to foster human-wildlife coexistence. I have used their extensive library to find out the latest research from this new field, their website is very interesting and easy to navigate and I find their staff very helpful and knowledgeable when I have approached them for advice.
The International Wildlife Coexistence Network is the fiscal sponsor and advisor for the Wood River Wolf Project, Blaine County, Idaho. Suzanne Stone is a expert in wolf dynamics and coexistence strategies with wolves. She advises our Wood River Field staff and provides access to the latest nonlethal equipment that helps us better protect the 16,000 sheep that graze on public lands in Blaine County, Idaho, from wolves and other predators. New field cameras are being used in our Student Wildlife Camera project and the solar fox lights from Australia are essential to deploy near the sheep at night in order to mimic human presence that deter wolves. The Wood River Wolf Project was co-founder by Suzanne Stone fifteen years ago and continues to this day because of our success in coexistence with wolves and support from our local community to annually fund the project. The IWCN brings new ideas about coexistence strategies from around the world. Sarah Michael, Local Steering Committee Chair
IWCN is truly innovative! The organization focuses on working with Nature to solve conservation conflicts rather than working against Her. The strategy of using interdisciplinary experts across vast fields of knowledge to develop best practices and think-outside-the-box real time conflict resolution is resulting in meaningful outcomes for both wildlife and local communities. Ambitious goals but gaining firm momentum in hot spots around the world. Love this group.
I love being a part of this network of great organizations and people. We stand with many imperiled wildlife species, and each other. Buffalo Field Campaign is a staunch supporter of the IWCN. Wild, free-roaming Yellowstone bison rely on networks such as this.
IWCN has been hosting educational forums on coexistence. They have included bears, wolves, kangaroo and koala. The experts they have been able to attract are impressive and diverse. And they have real world experience themselves through the Wood River Wolf Project. IWCN is a great resource for communities that need advice on coexistence.
