The funder's mission is to support projects that mitigate the negative impacts of human activities on the environment and contribute to positive changes for the future, with a particular focus on protecting tropical rainforests through avoided deforestation.
The grant program aims to support both practical local and strategic projects that address the issue of deforestation in tropical rainforests, which is a significant contributor to global carbon emissions and climate change. Local projects may involve activities like overcoming the local drivers of deforestation, managing specific forest areas, measuring and monitoring these areas, supporting sustainable livelihoods for forest-dependent communities, and securing land or management rights for these communities. Strategic projects could include working on international or regional forest policy, campaigning for improved commercial practices, and exploring innovative solutions such as financial systems or projects based on the value of forest ecosystem services.
