Landscape & Wildlife Conservation
By supporting the National Park Service in conservation projects and land acquisition, NPF is protecting the very things that draw us to national parks: the shared land and natural wonders of our parks.

National parks are places of wonder, wilderness, and wildlife. From vulnerable coastal ecosystems to imperiled mountaintop crags, our national parks help preserve what matters most, inviting us to learn, explore, and grow. The National Park Foundation (NPF) works closely with the National Park Service (NPS) on urgent priorities to preserve landscapes and the habitats and species within them across the country. Together with our partners, NPF is helping safeguard some of the most biologically diverse and significant lands in our nation.
NPF's support of Landscape & Wildlife Conservation programs and projects range from funding the monitoring of wildlife to helping establish new national park units. Habitat and wildlife projects help study and preserve the remarkable wildlife that call parks home, while land conservation projects ensure that these precious places are cared for in perpetuity by NPS.
