What Conservation Beyond Borders Foundation does

Promote collaborative education and research designed to benefit local communities and optimize ecosystem management and integrity.

As stated on its FY2024 Form 990-EZ.

Programs

  1. Field hospital operations cbb works to protect and save wildlife. Wildlife vets play a critical role in assisting with the preservation of wildlife species. It is for that reason that cbb is supporting african wildlife vets by assisting with the funding of a full-time vet. Each case they handled remains crucial to wildlife conservation. Throughout the year, dr. Jenifer and dr. Dave provided critical care to numerous animals, many of which were injured by poachers or snare traps. A veterinary field hospital was established, which is now actively providing essential care to wildlife in need. This boma services the surrounding national reserves. Prides of lions and packs of wild dogs inhabited the hospital for most months. Various field operations were conducted to provide an immediate response to injured wildlife. Examples of injured wildlife include but are not restricted to animals caught in snares and rhinos surviving poachers.

  2. Anti-poaching workshops and research - anti-poaching workshops were done with governmental officials, reserve managers, wildlife rangers, and wildlife-wildlife conflict resolution personal in rwanda and uganda with the objective to create conservation guidelines and frameworks for mountain gorillas. In 2024, rhinos, cheetahs and lions were introduced into habitats where they have previously gone extinct, mainly due to poaching and hwc throughout africa and india. In depth conversations with reformed poachers, law enforcement, gorilla rangers, and community members yield a deeper understanding of incentives that can promote conversation, in addition to challenges that serve to solve conservation shortcomings in effective frameworks. Practices such as dehorning rhinos, microchipping tigers, and collaring elephants, cheetahs, and lions were employed with the goal of removing the incentive to poach and increasing the effectiveness of conservation strategies.

  3. Animal rescues - veterinary support was provided to hluhluwe imfolozi park and umkhuze game reserve. We successfully released several cheetahs back into the wild as part of ongoing efforts to bolster the species' population in protected areas. In 2024, lions and pangolins saved from the illegal wildlife trade were reintroduced into safe habitats. Collaring is an important part of managing and protecting lion, african wild dog and cheetah populations in small, fenced protected areas. It is instrumental in finding animals with snares on them as well as locating animals that have left the boundaries of protected areas. Tracking and monitoring these predators can help reserve ecologists and managers determine the genetics of their populations, which will assist in ascertaining the need to relocate to avoid inbreeding.

2 of 3 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 98% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

How concentrated its funding is

CONSERVATION BEYOND BORDERS FOUNDATION leans on a few funders — its largest provides 97% of grant income and the top three 100%; half comes from just 1 funder.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left

98% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund CONSERVATION BEYOND BORDERS FOUNDATION.

Where its funders are

98% of CONSERVATION BEYOND BORDERS FOUNDATION's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Of the $200 that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from Minnesota funders.

MN

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $10k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
