Vision: An Earth in which all life is valued, celebrated and flourishing. Mission: We act to address overlooked and underfunded conservation challenges for globally threatened species and ecosystems. We achieve our mission through: RESEARCH: We identify priorities and gaps in funding and action for biodiversity conservation. ACTION: We develop conservation programmes and coordinate funding to address the most urgent challenges. FUNDING: We provide guidance and fresh approaches to help donors understand and fund work to conserve wildlife and wild places. INSPIRATION: We engage creatively with others to highlight the importance and wonder of nature and to challenge the status quo, so that all life on Earth is valued. Our Values Scientific Rigour - Effective conservation begins with knowledge. Our work is based on robust science and rigorous research and analysis. Openness and Diversity - We are open to working with a diverse range of people and organisations, sharing what we learn and listening to others. People - Developing strong relationships is at the heart of our work. More than any one organisation, group or philosophy, working with the right people with respect and openness gives us the best chance of achieving long-term impact. Optimism - We do not shy away from the gravity of the challenges facing us and the natural world, but experience shows that conservation can be effective and opinions do change. Synchronicity - Synchronicity is as much a mind-set as it is a way of life. Essentially, it is about being open to possibilities and creating space for new ideas to emerge.
