Working in collaboration

Conservation is a complex discipline, and in order to reach our conservation goals, we need broad collaboration to drive gains in sites and for species as well as driving more systemic changes.

Fauna & Flora collaborates with organisations across many sectors; these vary from loose coalitions to close active partnerships, particularly with in-country organisations (in line with our aim of building locally owned, sustainable conservation solutions). Over the last year, we worked with organisations that ranged from local community groups and NGOs to government agencies, small-scale enterprises and larger businesses.

We collaborate in different ways, within and beyond the conservation community, to find complementary skill sets, to influence the behaviour of those who drive biodiversity loss or to look for opportunities to drive more systemic change. More information about this work can be found in the Influencing Others section, page 38.

In 2022, we jointly ran projects or provided significant assistance to 441 organisations, and we collaborated with a further 193 in the course of our work.
