Fauna & Flora’s approach

We act on urgent threats to key habitats and the species within them, while respecting human rights and promoting the sustainability of conservation and local benefits. We build our work around effective partnerships with in-country organisations and communities, creating long-term change, embedding conservation locally and with in-country institutions. We believe this local partner and community-focused model is critical for effective future conservation delivery.

We develop bespoke solutions for individual conservation contexts, applying the best available science, alongside expertise, experience and local knowledge. We recognise that working in partnership to develop tailored, context-specific projects takes time, but we value the effectiveness and sustainability of this approach.

We work directly on the ground to support, sustain and strengthen local nature conservation action around the world. We work with local organisations and institutions in over 45 countries, aligning our technical skills and experience to their expertise and local knowledge. Together we have been successful in developing initiatives that not only secure and recover habitats and species, but which are also sustained beyond our engagement.

Fauna & Flora has been a leading force for conservation for nearly 120 years. We continue to learn from our work, and to build and share our knowledge and experience of conservation practice. As part of this, we prioritise documenting our organisational impact across our diverse project portfolio, recognising the complexity and uniqueness of each project within this.
