MEET THE FOUNDER

Tanner Tripp is the founder of Wild Giants Conservation Fund (U.S.) and Wild Giants Caucasus (Republic of Georgia), initiatives restoring keystone wildlife species and creating sustainable conservation models. His work combines breeding and rewilding programs with eco-tourism and hunting models to build a scalable, financially viable path for conservation. 

Before launching Wild Giants, Tanner spent six years in Amsterdam working in the adventure travel and tourism industry. That role gave him extensive experience in cultural engagement, sustainable tourism, and connecting people to wild places — all of which now shape his vision for building conservation models that integrate local communities, international travelers, and wildlife restoration.

Tanner combines strategic insight with a creative approach to problem-solving, allowing him to shape clear visions and rally others around them. He builds strong relationships with ease and leads with confidence, keeping complex projects moving forward while always maintaining focus on the long-term goal.

Tanner is an avid outdoorsman who finds inspiration in wild places and the challenge of restoring them. He is driven by the mission to make wild places wild again.
