Our Projects
The Kayapo Project enables the Kayapo Indigenous people to protect their ratified territories, which span 9 million hectares in the highly threatened southeastern Amazon.
Shorebird Initiative protects threatened and declining shorebird populations and the sites critical for them, including migratory stop-over sites, breeding and non-breeding areas in Latin America and Asia.
Madagascar: Farankaraina Forest, conserving lemurs and other threatened species. This project is working with village associations to protect Farankaraina Forest and its wildlife and restore degraded areas within it.
Malawi: Fish for Tomorrow empowers communities to protect Lake Malawi’s endangered and economically important fish through Beach Village Committees, which set fishing regulations and protect fish breeding areas. This project builds on earlier success by our field partner Ripple Africa.
Indonesia: Forest conservation and sustainable livelihoods, Papua province (western side of the island of New Guinea). In this project a recently established NGO, YAPPENDA, is working with Indigenous communities in highland and lowland areas to undertake reforestation, protect forest, and establish a Learning Center and biological research station.
Biome’s Ranger Fund: Boots on the ground, Eyes in the sky provides critically needed funds from the Americas, to Africa, to Asia where rangers form a front-line defence monitoring vast wild reserves to protect wildlife from illegal hunting, poaching with snares, theft of timber, and other destructive activities. Donations support salaries and field equipment.
These projects are administered by Biome Conservation. If you wish to support another project of Biome Conservation at the level of $500 or higher, please get in touch with us and we will be happy to make that happen if funds are needed for the project in question.
