A charity which initiates and manages conservation projects throughout the UK and around the world. Launched in 1982, the Foundation creates and manages a wide range of programmes and initiatives covering all environmental interests including award schemes, special events, publications and information services.

Some include the spiritual dimension of concern for the environment. The Foundation is also an environmental incubator, helping fledgling organisations get off the ground and turning good ideas into fundable projects.

The Foundation’s approach is inclusive and fun, never confrontational or strident. Projects are run as partnerships – with corporate and individual sponsors, government departments, media organisations, trusts and foundations.
