Dear GNF-Supporters,
3,817,000 - that's how many seedlings the Global Nature Fund (GNF) has planted together with its project partners around the world in the last 25 years. You can find these and many other exciting figures in our newly completed 2023 Annual Report. 25 years of Living Lakes - another hopeful number. Lake conservationists from all over the world celebrated the anniversary at Lake Balaton in Hungary - we were there too, of course. And last but not least, Stefan Hörmann takes you to Asia to visit our initiative for sustainable natural rubber - the perfect read on gray winter days.
We would like to thank you for your support in 2023 and have rolled up our sleeves for 2024 - for nature, the environment and people all over the world.
Enjoy the read,
