About Alinea
Who We Are
Alinea as the Backbone of Stronger Conservation
At Alinea, everything we do is grounded in purpose. Founded inside Wildlife Crime Prevention and spun out as an independent platform in January 2025, Alinea now serves as a hub for a region-wide conservation system. We exist to connect, promote, and support the people and solutions that make conservation more effective, equitable, and enduring. Our mission, vision, and goal reflect a deep commitment to collaboration, transparency, and long-term impact, ensuring that people and nature can thrive together.
What Guides Us
Grounded by Purpose, Driven by Impact
Just Cause
A future where people and wildlife thrive together, enabled by locally grounded, systems-led conservation.
Vision
An equitable conservation ecosystem, globally aligned, locally driven, and underpinned by resilient structures.
Our Role
Alinea is the enabling infrastructure behind more effective, lower-risk, and higher-impact conservation.
What We Do
Connect
We connect trusted local actors with global funders, urgent needs with proven solutions, and fragmented efforts with shared goals.
Q1: How does Alinea identify and connect partners?
We use a rigorous vetting process, regional information, and an ongoing relationship network to match high-integrity partners with aligned funders and resources, fast and with purpose.
Q2: What types of connections does Alinea facilitate?
We broker connections across the entire conservation ecosystem –from frontline implementers and technical experts to philanthropic donors and market-based investors.
Q3: What makes Alinea different from other networks or platforms?
We’re a strategic, systems-level platform, not a direct implementer or funder. We strengthen the conservation system by enabling high-trust partnerships and reducing fragmentation, making the whole system more efficient, cost-effective, and resilient.
Q4: Can new or smaller organisations join the network?
Yes. We champion local grassroots organisations, welcoming high-potential local partners and provide support to strengthen their readiness and visibility within the global ecosystem.
Promote
We amplify the work of our partners through verified reporting, curated profiles, and strategic storytelling –helping them shine on the global stage.
Q1: How does Alinea help partners gain visibility?
We elevate partner work through curated profiles, success stories, independent impact verification, and placements in global conversations and events.
Q2: Why is promotion part of Alinea’s model?
Visibility builds trust. By helping proven solutions and local actors stand out, we increase their chances of securing new funding and scaling their work.
Q3: What does “verified reporting” mean?
We support transparent, independently verified reporting that gives funders and partners confidence in what’s being achieved and what’s possible.
Q4: Can Alinea help promote innovations or pilot projects?
Yes. We actively spotlight scalable innovations, new tools, and pilot successes, especially those with potential to shift systems or unlock new funding.
Support
We provide behind-the-scenes support, such as investment readiness, operational diagnostics, and strategic deployment planning.
Q1: What kinds of support does Alinea offer to partners?
From investment readiness and operational assessments to rapid deployment and advisory support, we offer behind-the-scenes help tailored to what each partner needs to thrive.
Q2: Is Alinea a funder or technical assistance provider?
Alinea is not a traditional funder with its own capital, nor do we implement projects directly. We serve as a trusted intermediary, channeling donor funds to high-integrity partners through vetted, strategic mechanisms. In addition to facilitating onward grants, we provide targeted technical assistance to strengthen delivery, improve governance, and reduce risk. Our role is to support the system, quietly, practically and always through others.
Q3: How does Alinea work with governments or large institutions?
We fill gaps, connecting governments and donors with vetted partners, rapid response expertise, or technical support when and where it’s needed.
Q4: Do you offer support beyond the initial connection?
Absolutely. We stay engaged, offering ongoing guidance and resources that strengthen delivery, reduce risk, and help partners scale their impact over time.
