• Inspire and provoke action so that an increasing number of companies and foundations will turn to funding biodiversity non-profit projects.
• To move from an anthropocene paradigm to a “terracene” paradigm where nature and biodiversity are at the core.

The collapse of biodiversity is a major crisis for life on earth at a planetary scale, and one that has been accelerating at an alarming rate in recent years. Human activities are the main cause, through changes in land use and the destruction of associated habitats, overexploitation of natural resources, pollution, climate change and the introduction of invasive species. This has already had devastating consequences for animal and plant species, ecosystem services, human health, access to food and water, and people’s quality of life.

Preserving and restoring biodiversity is essential in the short term to safeguard the survival and well-being of all living species, including humans. This requires a great number of actions on the ground, carried out by public, non-governmental, private and citizen organizations and initiatives. Such initiatives draw on a proven body of knowledge and know-how, but adequate funding and partnerships are difficult to obtain.

At the same time, the research and innovation ecosystem is developing innovative solutions that often struggle to find their way into concrete applications applied to biodiversity.

In this context of urgency, we wish to develop and promote philanthropy for biodiversity, accompany innovation projects to find applications on the field, and raise awareness to create a better future for the next generations to come.

The corporate foundation is launched by the mission-based enterprise LGI Sustainable Innovation, as the first founding company. Other companies willing to support meaningful biodiversity project on the field are welcome to join. Contact us to know more here
