Why we're here

Biodiversity, the variety of life on Earth, drives the life support systems on which humans and all other species rely. This biodiversity is facing myriad and escalating threats. Across the globe, ecosystems are being degraded or destroyed. Many species are being pushed to the brink of extinction.

Around 80% of the forests that originally covered the Earth have been cleared, fragmented, or degraded over the past 150 years. The best information that science can provide suggests that species are disappearing at a rate between 1,000 and 10,000 times higher than it would naturally be, with the prospect that 50% of all current life forms may ultimately be lost.

Fauna & Flora International is working to address the threats facing the variety of life on Earth. It's vision is of a sustainable future for the planet, where biodiversity is effectively conserved by the people who live closest to it, supported by the global community. But biodiversity is in serious danger - please help us to save this precious resource.
