Big Life Foundation is a non-profit organization focused on conserving East Africa's wildlife and wild lands through a community-based, collaborative approach. On the ground, it pursues protection of wildlife and habitats—including one of East Africa's largest elephant populations—by coordinating with local communities, partner NGOs, national parks, and government agencies. In October 2023, Le Mondeur partnered with Big Life Foundation and Henoscene to launch the 'I Stand For' campaign, illustrating cross-sector collaboration within its conservation work. Its holistic model centers on the Amboseli–Tsavo–Kilimanjaro ecosystem with intent to replicate across Africa. Headquartered in Ridgefield, Washington, the foundation is a mid-sized nonprofit that conducts on-the-ground conservation work in East Africa. Its activities involve local communities and public institutions responsible for protected areas, aiming to reduce wildlife threats while delivering benefits to people.
