OUR WHY

We flow the finance needed to repair nature, to the people best placed to do the work.

Over millennia our complex web of ecosystems have created an environment that sustains all life on earth.

For humans, natural ecosystems – our planetary infrastructure – are critical to our health and wellbeing.

For Indigenous People globally, nature holds deep spiritual meaning.

But today, these vital ecosystems are being degraded and are disappearing rapidly. Species are becoming extinct at unprecedented rates. Climate change is amplifying this loss, further diminishing the resilience of nature to adapt and recover.

At Pollination Foundation we are taking a new approach.

OUR VISION FOR THE FUTURE

Place-based economies will create a climate resilient future where people and nature thrive.

Local economies thrive

through diverse nature-based enterprise at different scales and across multiple themes such as bush foods, botanicals & regenerative agriculture, nature restoration & habitat protection, nature-based tourism, carbon farming, aquaculture and water protection.

Indigenous
knowledge is valued

and woven into a systems-based approach, elevating community knowledge and inspiring us to reimagine and nurture our relationship with nature.

Nature is valued

recognising that all life depends on it and that significant, sustained investment in natural ecosystems is critical.

Landscapes are healthy and resilient

because the relationship between people and nature is respected, allowing ecosystems to adapt and thrive through changes including climate shocks.

How we work

A people-centered approach is the bridge to achieving a climate resilient, nature positive future.

This requires sustained and long-term commitment to strengthening leadership and growing the capacity of people investing in and leading the work.
