The Foundation for Biodiversity develops and supports conservation programmes that protect endangered species, restore ecosystems, and strengthen biodiversity through scientific research, international collaboration, and long-term partnerships. Working alongside governments, local communities, scientific institutions, and conservation organizations, our programmes are designed 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 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
Create a resilient, connected jaguar corridor across one of South America’s most important remaining landscapes restoring habitat, protecting wildlife and strengthening long-term stewardship with local communities.
Measurement objective
Determine whether protection and restoration interventions are improving habitat connectivity, species occupancy and ecosystem integrity while delivering measurable benefits 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
ATTRIBUTION
Determine what changed — and why.
CONSERVATION DESIGN
Design the intervention.
Species recovery + ecosystem intervention
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
VERIFICATION
Test the evidence.
PORTFOLIO INTELLIGENCE
Translate ecological performance.
LONG-TERM MANAGEMENT
BASELINE
Establish the reference condition.
INNOVATION & TECHNOLOGY
MEASUREMENT
Track ecological change.
Every conservation programme begins with science, grows through partnership, and succeeds through long-term commitment.
From conservation design to verified biodiversity intelligence, the FFB Trust Stack connects every stage of measurable ecological change.
GLOBAL REACH
Active programmes and conservation collaborations spanning five continents

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.
