Fauna & Flora International International Conservation
Fauna & Flora International (FFI) is the world’s longest established international conservation body, founded 100 years ago. Renowned for its science–based approach, FFI has pioneered sustainable conservation work that tackles problems holistically, providing solutions that simultaneously help wildlife, humans and the environment.
General Information:’Investment in the work of FFI is an investment in the future of our planet’. Sir David Attenborough, FFI Vice President.
More often than not, countries with high levels of biodiversity also have the most pressing human needs. Fauna & Flora International recognizes that people in developing countries want to improve their material well–being and endeavours to support them by devising strategies that conserve biodiversity and contribute to human development. Conservation cannot succeed in the long term if it appears contrary to the interests of people in developing countries and this is one of the greatest challenges facing conservation today.
Rather than imposing its own agenda, Fauna & Flora International empowers in–country partners to address locally identified priorities, recognizing that conservation cannot rely on the work of outsiders in the long term. It is crucial to develop local support and institutional frameworks capable of conserving their own biodiversity.
Fauna & Flora International works with in–country partners to tackle biodiversity loss head–on through a series of projects that directly protect species or habitats. These interventions draw on the scientific expertise and wide–ranging conservation experience of Fauna & Flora International and their partners.
Fauna & Flora International recognize that threats to biodiversity are the outcome of a complex array of underlying social, economic and political pressures. They aim to change the policy and behaviour that contribute to biodiversity loss. To do this they engage with a wide range of governments and non–governmental organizations, and have been working to raise the profile of biodiversity within the wider global development debate.
It is not only government decisions that affect biodiversity, and Fauna & Flora International engage with the commercial sector to improve their operations so that their impacts on biodiversity can be reduced. They provide support to business in identifying how to ensure that biodiversity concerns are built into all levels of decision making within the company.
