Case Study
Saving Sombrero - Resurrection of a unique Caribbean wildlife haven
A Caribbean island brought back from the brink of ecological collapse in a ground-breaking conservation project.
Fauna & Flora’s people are located all around the world, taking on a wide range of roles and responsibilities to save nature, together.
Experts in the field
Some of our staff support projects on the ground, while others provide technical and operational expertise from our regional offices, including our UK headquarters.
In addition to our Fauna & Flora staff members, we partner with more than 400 organisations across nearly 50 countries with whom we work side by side to deliver our conservation projects. Every year, we support thousands of people to grow their conservation skills and capacity.
From Southeast Asia, to Central Africa, to the Caribbean, Fauna & Flora has staff members in the field around the world – working hands-on with our partners to implement nature-saving strategies.

Behind-the-scenes expertise
Our work on the ground would not be possible without our office-based staff members and their expertise in a range of areas critical to the success of our species and habitat conservation; whether that’s capacity building or conservation science, fundraising or finance, policy influencing or corporate sustainability.
Partners at our core
An extension of Fauna & Flora is our partners – including local organisations, community groups, governments, universities and, critically, local people.
We strongly believe – and our experience shows – that those living closest to our projects have the best knowledge and experience of their environment. Working with people on –the ground is essential to finding sustainable solutions to conservation issues, and this partnership-led approach is at the core of all our global work.
Fauna & Flora has helped us at every stage of our development, providing secondments, project funding and organisation management, and we still work very closely with the team. We see Fauna & Flora as a mentor organisation, someone who’s there for us when we need it.

Sound governance

In July 2023, we welcomed Kristian Teleki as our new CEO. He succeeded Mark Rose, who led Fauna & Flora for 30 years and left an incredible legacy.
