Intact ecosystems are the basis of our existence. Clean water, good air, biodiversity, fertile soils and a healthy climate – all of this makes our lives and those of future generations worth living. The rapid destruction of many habitats is jeopardizing this basis of life – according to FAO estimates, around 420 million hectares of forest were destroyed worldwide between 1990 and 2020. We are countering this development with effective, meaningful and sustainable nature conservation projects, wherever protection is most urgently needed.
What we do
We protect biodiversity, endangered species and valuable ecosystems. We implement nature and environmental protection projects around the world that preserve and restore habitats – sustainably and over the long term. From the reforestation of precious forests in India and Mexico to the protection of the last elephants in Nepal. From forest protection in international supply chains to our commitment to insect diversity on German fields. In doing so, we involve local people and create conservation-friendly sources of income.

Die Broschüre stellt die europäische Initiative vor, die Unternehmen durch praxisnahe Instrumente wie „Biodiversitäts-Checks“, regionale Foren und Kooperationen mit Naturschutzverbänden dabei unterstützt, den Erhalt der biologischen Vielfalt erfolgreich in ihr Geschäftsmanagement zu integrieren.
Der Verein FfB: Gemeinsam für mehr Biologische Vielfalt in der Lebensmittelbranche
Ohne biologische Vielfalt gibt es keine fruchtbaren Böden, keine Bestäubung und keine sicheren Ernten. Der Verein Food for Biodiversity bündelt die Kräfte von Unternehmen, Wissenschaft und Umweltverbänden, um das Artensterben aktiv zu bekämpfen und unsere Ernährungssysteme nachhaltig zu transformieren. Erfahren Sie, mit welchen konkreten Maßnahmen die Natur entlang der gesamten Lieferkette geschützt wird und wie sich Organisationen als Mitglied engagieren können.
