Altering the course of freshwater conservation

Freshwater habitats host some of the most diverse and productive ecosystems on Earth, but they are also among the most threatened. The people and wildlife that are most impacted by their rapid loss and degradation are not receiving the attention or support they need to avoid further declines: our goal is to change that.

Our Programme

This programme is based on ten years of institutional knowledge gained from funding, engaging with and researching freshwater conservation, as well as working with our network of scientific and grassroots advisors. Our approach is to identify conservation funding and action, to complement existing work, and to support initiatives where long-term partnership can achieve lasting and transformative change. To achieve this, our programme consists of three overlapping and complementary funding streams of work:
