International Heritage Conservancy

Protecting what matters. Preserving what connects us.

The International Heritage Conservancy supports conservation and cultural heritage initiatives around the world. We work alongside local communities and organizations to help protect wildlife, landscapes, traditions, and knowledge for future generations.

Who we are

A global mission, rooted in care

IHC began with a commitment to birds of prey and the heritage of falconry. That beginning grew into a broader mission: supporting the people and organizations working to protect nature and cultural heritage around the world.

What we support

We support projects that conserve wildlife and wild places, preserve cultural heritage, and connect people with the knowledge and resources to care for both.

Conservation

Healthy ecosystems depend on sustained care and the people closest to them. IHC supports conservation efforts that protect species, habitats, and the natural systems communities rely on.

Cultural Heritage

Cultural heritage carries knowledge, identity, and a sense of belonging across generations. We support efforts to preserve living traditions, historic places, and local knowledge.

Education

We build lasting connections to nature and heritage through learning and community partnerships, bringing people together to share knowledge and support conservation.
