The Rubicon Foundation aims to promote enduring and practical solutions for the co-existence of biodiversity and rural communities through policy and field projects.

We take action in particular for globally threatened species in countries crucial for their conservation and along migration routes.

We focus on identifying and promoting solutions for land stewardship and sustainable rural development enhancing biodiversity conservation, working with local people and organizations in order to share with them the best practices in this field and to enable them to partake actively in reversing ecological problems in their country.

We believe that making conservation profitable will foster the protection and wise use of natural resources.
