There is no legal or accounting basis for consolidation of the financials of The Wilderness Trust Entities, but publication of separate financials for each would result in meaningless and confusing detail. Accordingly, a proforma “consolidation” has been performed, with transactions between The Wilderness Trust Entities eliminated to remove duplications and “inter-group” transactions.

Income generated

The Funds Statement shows that, over the five-year period under review, The Wilderness Trust Entities were able to raise contributions to the value USD6.2 million. Total disbursements over the same period amounted to USD5.3 million, meaning that a surplus of USD917,000 was generated over the period.

The chart below shows how these disbursements were distributed across the three main impact pillars on which The Wilderness Trust focuses its efforts.

Disbursements

Almost two thirds were committed to the Educate pillar, mainly CITW. The balance was divided roughly equally between the Empower and Protect pillars.

Disbursements by region

The largest proportion of these disbursements was made in Zimbabwe. This is a reflection of the outstanding CITW programme in that country and local Wilderness management’s remarkable capacity to generate donations. Botswana and Rwanda have also obtained significant amounts, followed closely by Namibia.
