We have chosen to focus on two areas where there is clear need for action, an opportunity for us to make a distinctive contribution and a multiplier effect to increase our impact.

Protecting Our Rainforests

Yet an area of forest the size of Greece is still being lost each year. We will support projects that protect the rainforest and that prevent further destruction.
