A New Mission for Those Who Have Already Served

The World Restoration Trade School trains U.S. military veterans in land restoration, water drilling, regenerative agriculture, and habitat recovery. The same discipline and resilience that defined their service now powers the restoration of our planet, one acre at a time.

A Legacy Built on Courage and Care

Lawrence Anthony, a renowned conservationist, is known for saving Baghdad's zoo in 2003, negotiating with rebels to protect rhinos and help end Africa's longest civil war, and earning the trust and deep affection of a rogue wild elephant herd.

Today, Lawrence's Co-Founder Barbara Wiseman and International Executive Director Yvette Taylor carry on that work through practical, science-based programs that implement logical solutions for a healthier world, for all life.

Our Difference

Why The Earth Organization
Is Different

Our Difference

We Implement, Not Just Advocate

Our work happens in the field, where solutions are applied and tested in real conditions alongside the communities that depend on those solutions.

We Solve Root Causes, Not Symptoms

We address the underlying environmental and ecological challenges, not just their visible surface effects.

We Align Conservation with People and Economies

Long-term environmental impact only works when local ecosystems, businesses, and communities all stand to benefit.
