Works in numerous countries in Africa Asia and the Americas
This organisation’s history stretches back to 1903, when a group of British and American naturalists in Africa founded what was then called the “Society for the Preservation of the Wild Fauna of the Empire.” The Society worked to establish protected areas for African wildlife. It later played an important role in creating some of the world’s largest conservation organisations, including the World Conservation Union (IUCN) and the World Wide Fund for Nature. Today, Fauna and Flora International (FFI) sponsors conservation initiatives worldwide, working with local organisations and governments to identify and implement sustainable solutions.
In 1999, FFI began to work in two provinces of Western China. In Qinghai, it supported pilot projects to test and demonstrate community-based approaches to conservation of Tibetan Plateau ecosystems. These are designed to show that local people should be incorporated into environmental conservation, rather than treated as an obstacle to conservation. In Sichuan, FFI has worked with local authorities on integrated planning for nature conservation. It is now collaborating with the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ Zoology Institute and the Dujiangyan, Longxi-Hongkou National Nature Reserve to develop a five-year conservation management plan. This work is carried forward through a process of stakeholder analysis, consultation and coordination among local government agencies.
FFI’s program has since expanded to Southwest China, where it is supporting a review of the status of primate populations, and to Xinjiang, where it is supporting research and monitoring of Tibetan Antelope and Wild Yak populations in the eastern Kunlun mountains.
FFI is funded by grants from bilateral and multilateral aid donors, corporate sponsorship and private donations
