New partners and funding model
Join us in welcoming three new partners to the #NatureForAll movement! Now made up of almost 600 partners worldwide, #NatureForAll is a community of organizations and individuals who are inspired to work together to effect positive change.
In addition, as we collectively look to support and expand this initiative, a handful of organisations have agreed to help create a sustainable financial plan for #NatureForAll and play a more prominent leadership role going forward.
Alongside the IUCN Commission on Education and Communications, theIUCN World Commission on Protected Areas, andParks Canada (which has provided extensive support since the launch of the movement in 2016), theChildren & Nature Network, theAlana Foundation and theSustainable Forestry Initiative have all committed to being core partners in this initiative going forward.If you’d like to know more about how your organisation can take a greater leadership role in the #NatureForAll movement, emailinfo@natureforall.global.
