The Foundation 
Reversing biodiversity loss to build a sustainable future
Our mission is to contribute to reversing biodiversity loss. This requires actions in several areas at the same time, to conserve healthy ecosystems, restore degraded ecosystems, promote sustainable use of biodiversity and halt the causes of its deterioration.
The complexity of environmental challenges requires us to act in different areas at the same time, establishing strategic alliances and bridges with science, private initiative and society as a whole.

Outreach and Awareness Raising
Dissemination and environmental awareness is a continuous educational process that aims to inform, train and modify attitudes towards the climate emergency. With science as the basis for all actions, we can find reports that support the decisions that, little by little, should lead us to an urgent and necessary change of model.
The Fundación Biodiversidad podcast
Naturalmente, it was born with the objective of contributing new ideas, new visions, to what we call climate emergency. Our idea is to generate knowledge, awareness, about an issue that affects us all. We will try to contribute ideas from people who have something to say, who are committed to innovation, people who help us understand the challenge we are facing and the possible solutions.
