Influencing others

The sites where we work to protect habitats and species, and the local partners we work with, are all affected by decisions taken within wider societies and the legislation of the countries where we work. Influencing national policies can be key to ensuring effective and lasting conservation outcomes.

The threats to our planet are unprecedented and urgent. To tackle this crisis, we need to change the context in which we operate in order to achieve change at the scale needed to avoid disaster. We need to ensure that experiences from site level inform wider national and international decision making.

As the scale of business – and its global reach – increases, decisions made by the corporate sector may be key to determining the success of conservation actions, both at site level and globally.

International and national government policy and planning, corporate activity and consumer choice all affect our ability to achieve and sustain conservation success – both at a project level and globally.

Fauna & Flora has a long history of working with and influencing these wider stakeholders to change the conservation landscape and help create a world in which environmental considerations are embedded into decisions at all levels and across the private and public sectors.
