Protect Nature
At the heart of our work is the knowledge that a healthy environment is essential to a green and peaceful world.
Our vision
We work to protect biodiversity in all its forms, from our majestic oceans, home to millions of awe-inspiring creatures to our mighty forests that help stabilize the climate, sustain life and are the source of culture for many Indigenous communities. Protecting nature means protecting the life, livelihood and shelter for both human and wildlife alike in the most vital and vibrant places on the planet. Our forests and oceans are precious, fragile sources of life and diversity, which we must actively seek to protect.
