It is not only nature on the other side of the world that needs our help. The consequences of the climate crisis are also increasingly felt on Dutch soil. The solution is more nature.

If we give rivers more space, we will be more resilient to flooding. If we plant more trees and shrubs on agricultural land, CO2 will be absorbed and biodiversity can be restored. So help us build a safer Netherlands with more nature.

Forests keep the earth liveable. They provide food, clean drinking water and are essential in the fight against climate change. Trees store CO2 in their trunk and roots. When forests are cut down or burned down, that CO2 is released , and that, in turn, causes more global warming.

In other words, forests are indispensable. But we are losing them at an alarming rate. Deforestation has already destroyed half of all forests worldwide. It's time for action.

General support is essential for our work. We can use it where it is needed most. As the largest nature conservation organisation in the world, we make an impact in more than 200 regions, from South American forests to Asian coral reefs, from African nature reserves to the Arctic.

Worldwide, we are out in the fields protecting and restoring nature.
