Description
Fauna & Flora International (FFI) is an international conservation body, founded over 100 years ago. FFI has pioneered sustainable conservation work that tackles problems holistically, providing solutions that simultaneously help wildlife, humans and the environment. FFI acts to conserve threatened species and ecosystems worldwide, choosing solutions that are sustainable, are based on sound science and take account of human needs.

Projects
- Securing tenure and the sustainable use of African blackwood (‘mpingo’) for villagers in Kilwa District, Tanzania with our partners the Mpingo Conservation Project;

- Creating a model for community engagement and incentivising natural resource management to prevent unsustainable destruction of a State Park in Mato Grosso state – one of the richest areas of biodiversity in Brazil

- Building the capacity of Tibetan Herders to maintain the grasslands on which they are dependent through developing effective resource management plans and securing government support for implementation

- Influencing national policy decisions and working with local authorities in post-conflict Liberia to ensure that conservation and community needs are taken into account despite pressure from commercial logging and mining interests;

- Improving food security and promoting protection of the Critically Endangered Siamese crocodile, and its habitat, among communities in Cambodia's Cardamom Mountains;

- In the aftermath of Hurricane Iris, helping local organizations and communities in Belize to manage and protect their forests and develop small scale businesses that rely on a healthy ecosystem;

- Ensuring that the needs of the rural poor are considered in talks about the conservation of and trade in endangered species at the international policy level.

FFI also has a Biodiversity and Human Needs Programme, which supports regional programmes to deliver effective livelihood interventions, and enables FFI to share its experiences both internally and with other organisations.
