Our Initiatives

What are we doing?

In practice FFI’s direct conservation impact is mostly clearly seen within the countries that we work.

However, behind the scenes we take a global perspective to our work, under a series of specific approaches and initiatives.

Learn more about what we do, and how we do it.

Initiatives
Conservation capacity Building capacity

We always work with in-country organisations to strengthen their abilities to deliver conservation into the future.

Livelihoods & governance Governance

We believe that conservation projects should not disadvantage those living closest to biodiversity, but should assist their development and empower them to manage their own natural resources.

Conservation science Conservation Science

Good conservation relies on good information, expertise and decision making, and we aim to embed this across our partners, projects and grant-giving programmes.

Business & Biodiversity Business & Biodiversity

We want to ensure that businesses fully understand, and take account of, their impacts on the environment and that they recognise that adopting strong environmental standards makes good business sense.

Environmental markets Environmental Markets

We aim to ensure that the real benefits provided by biodiversity are costed accordingly within global market systems, allowing finance to flow for its protection.

Climate Change Climate Change

Change to global weather patterns is one of the greatest threats that will face biodiversity over coming years, and we are working to reduce the risks through supporting emissions reductions from natural habitats and by developing adaptation plans.

Marine conservation Marine Conservation

The oceans have been badly abused over the last centuries and FFI has launched a new programme to focus on the protection of key marine sites and to address some of the wider causes of marine declines.

Cultural Values Cultural Values

Cultural values connect people to the natural world. Fauna & Flora International (FFI) aims to build these into its conservation initiatives to improve effectiveness while helping people retain their values, knowledge and traditions.
