Animals and ecosystems

Fondation HansWilsdorf contributes to the development of a world in which biodiversity and human societies collectively thrive.

The initiatives we support, in Switzerland and across the world, promote ecological integrity and recognise the interconnection between environmental and social concerns. We stimulate the community of actors working in this field.

We build a portfolio of initiatives that is mutually reinforcing and complementary, driving innovation to achieve scale and sustainability.

We work across the continuum – from local, through regional to global – in order to bring about systemic change.
