Fauna & Flora International, Inc.

Fauna & Flora International, Inc is a relatively young organization in the U.S., yet it enjoys the excitement of being able to direct and broaden support for the projects of one of the world’s oldest international conservation organizations. Fauna & Flora International, Inc. resembles an entrepreneurial start-up, but benefits from being able to draw on over 100 years of conservation knowledge and accomplishments.

Read, and watch, Sir David Attenborough share his thoughts about climate change at a Fauna & Flora International, Inc-hosted event in Washington D.C. in May.

Under the direction of Katie Frohardt, Fauna & Flora International, Inc. is creating a constituency that delivers technical support and funding to global conservation programmes. The majority of funds contributed in the USA go directly to Fauna & Flora International’s field programmes.

Finding creative and efficient ways to support Fauna & Flora International’s field projects and partnerships worldwide is a big challenge, but also an opportunity to work closely with a committed U.S. Board of Directors and donor base. The Board develops strategic alliances with those who share its commitment to building local capacity for conservation.

Fauna & Flora International, Inc offers U.S. supporters the potential to 'get back to basics'. Protecting wildlife and habitats, and doing this through meaningful local partnerships, is complicated and requires a long-term view and commitment. Fauna & Flora International, Inc. stays focused on delivering support to these needs. This, and a compelling global conservation portfolio of projects, gives Fauna & Flora International its appeal.

Projects supported by Fauna & Flora International, Inc. include:

• Flower Valley, South Africa
  Emergency land purchase saved 2,000 acres of irreplaceable, botanically rich fynbos vegetation from destruction. Development of the market for sustainably harvested wild flowers has since provided a livelihood for impoverished local communities and protected 50,000 acres of fynbos.
• Cardamom Mountains, Cambodia
  Over two million acres of pristine forest in South-east Asia’s largest remaining unspoiled natural wilderness have been protected, along with endangered species including tigers and Asian elephants. A new generation of Cambodians is being trained to manage this natural treasure.
• Pacific Coast, Nicaragua
  By addressing the root causes of marine turtle poaching - lack of sustainable economic alternatives for local communities, weak legislation and limited institutional capacity - Fauna & Flora International is assisting the recovery of key populations of nesting olive Ridley and leatherback turtles.
