Priority Areas: Environment & Conservation
The FFF believes that the future health of our planet and all its inhabitants requires that we protect the delicate balances that exist in nature. The rate and scale of ecosystem degradation is significantly weakening the ability of the natural world to regulate the climate, purify air and water, provide home to native species, and provide medicines and protection from natural disasters.
We seek to support work that preserves native, carbon rich and biologically diverse environments and promotes a balanced relationship between local peoples and these unique and increasingly rare natural areas.
We support a range of activities including:
- Promoting local stewardship and governance
- Aligning regulatory and economic incentives with ecosystem stewardship
- Developing sustainable economic alternatives
- Action research that informs local solutions and policy reform
