Intact, high-performing ecosystems support protection against flooding and soil erosion, climate regulation, carbon storage, and provide humans with a variety of goods, such as food, drinking water, fuel and building materials, pharmaceuticals, and recreational spaces. 

The conservation and restoration of ecosystems, their biodiversity and the resulting services, especially for agriculture, food security and income of marginal and vulnerable populations are therefore of great importance to ensure human well-being for future generations. We support projects that develop options for action to protect the environment and resources and restore valuable ecosystems, conserve biodiversity and put it at a sustainable value for people.
