Our approach

The Foundation aims to fund catalytic initiatives that protect and restore nature and build climate resilience, ensuring a just and sustainable future for all. We focus on place-based nature solutions, working towards climate justice and resilience, and unlocking capital for nature, particularly in areas where government and market efforts fall short.
