|  The
Approach
WTI is geared to act quickly with minimum
bureaucracy, ensuring that assistance reaches the field,
where it is needed the most, as soon as possible. This
could be in the form of finance, equipment, infrastructure
and expert personnel, or it could be in the form of
support for training. Rehabilitation and re-introduction
of wild species back into their habitat, acquiring land
for wildlife, creating innovative communication packages,
providing relief in cases of conflict etc., are also
part of the approach to promoting conservation.
WTI functions through partnerships
and coalitions. Regional partners provide geographical
oversight, technical partners provide the expertise
and skill that may be required in specific projects,
and international partners help in fund raising and
global positioning. The core team at WTI comprises biologists,
conservationists, veterinarians, communication professionals
and lawyers who pool their respective skills to a common
end.
