Human well-being that supports nature

We aim to strengthen the well-being of local communities by fostering nature-based economies, diversified livelihoods, and resilient social structures within six landscapes around the world (our Solutionscape). Through our initiatives, we enhance economic opportunities, secure ecosystem services, and promote equitable access to resources – thereby fostering sustainable livelihoods.
