FFI

FFI is the world’s longest established international conservation body. It is one of the few organizations whose remit is to protect the entire spectrum of endangered plant and animal species on the planet. We provide support to conservation initiatives throughout the world, in the form of partnerships, technical assistance, direct funding and consultancy.

A firm belief in the importance of conserving nature, in accordance with the Convention on Biological Diversity, underpins all our activities.

The ethos underlying all our work is that conservation should be achieved through the application of scientific understanding, a genuinely participatory approach, local capacity building and long-term commitment.

We aim to arrive at solutions that are simple, sustainable and applicable at local level. Our success is measured in terms of lasting results beyond the life of individual projects.

FFI places great emphasis on the importance of engaging and empowering communities. The development of local partnerships is central to our philosophy.
