Our projects are not only conservation programmes. They are living biodiversity systems designed to make nature measurable, comparable and ultimately financeable. .
Working alongside governments, local communities, scientific institutions and conservation organizations, The Foundation for Biodiversity designs programmes to deliver measurable, lasting outcomes for nature and people.
Conservation Programs
From conservation action to measurable biodiversity performance.
Our projects are not only conservation programmes. They are living biodiversity systems designed to make nature measurable, comparable and ultimately financeable.
From Conservation Action to Measurable Biodiversity Performance
Our flagship species programmes are where conservation and measurement meet. Across the portfolio, FFB is developing the scientific infrastructure to measure, verify and translate ecological change into decision-grade biodiversity intelligence.
Conservation Programme → Measured Ecological Change → Verified Biodiversity Performance → Decision-Grade Intelligence
Current Flagship Programs
Across our flagship species programmes, FFB measures and verifies ecological change, translating conservation outcomes into decision-grade biodiversity intelligence.
Conservation → Measurement → Verification → Intelligence
The question
Can recovery be designed and measured credibly when a species is too rare for traditional abundance metrics?
FFB is building a next-generation species recovery programme for The Sumatran Rhino - The Rarest Mammal on Earth, integrating conservation action, reproductive recovery, habitat protection and ecological measurement into a single, verifiable recovery framework.
The Sumatran Rhino Project
INDONESIA
PARAGUAY • ARGENTINA • BOLIVA • BRAZIL
Conservation objective
Restore and protect ecological connectivity across one of South America's most important remaining landscapes whilst strengthening long-term stewardship with local communities
Measurement objective Determine whether protection and restoration interventions are producing measurable improvements in habitat connectivity, species occupancy and ecosystem integrity.
Decision-grade biodiversity output Baseline biodiversity condition + change from baseline
Species recovery trajectory
Habitat integrity
Confidence level Measurable Benefit for Local Communities
Jaguar Corridor Initiative
Conservation objective
Create a resilient, connected jaguar corridor, restoring habitat, protecting wildlife and strengthening community stewardship.
Measurement objective
Measure whether interventions improve connectivity, species occupancy and ecosystem integrity while delivering benefits for local communities.
Parrot Refuge Islands: From Trafficking Prevention to Measurable Recovery
INDONESIA
Conservation objective
Stop parrot trafficking by securing refuge islands, protecting wild populations and reducing pressure from illegal capture.
Measurement objective
Measure whether protection delivers additional ecological gains, through reduced trafficking, stronger populations and improved ecosystem integrity.
Our Conservation Approach
From conservation design to verified biodiversity intelligence, ourTrust Stack connects every stage of measurable ecological change.
ATTRIBUTION
Determine what changed — and why.
CONSERVATION DESIGN
Design the intervention.
Species recovery + ecosystem intervention
VERIFICATION
Test the evidence.
PORTFOLIO INTELLIGENCE
Translate ecological performance.
BASELINE

LOOKING FORWARD
Together we can build a future where nature and communities thrive
The Foundation for Biodiversity continues to expand its international conservation programmes through science, innovation, education, and strategic partnerships. By combining decades of conservation experience with forward-looking solutions, we aim to support governments and partners in delivering lasting environmental outcomes for future generations.
