Not only the things we own, but the things we choose to care for.
The trees we protect. The wildlife we make space for. The knowledge we pass on. The people we inspire to keep going.
A will is more than a legal document. It can be a reflection of what matters to us — and a way to help shape the world we leave behind.
For those who believe nature should have a place at the heart of our future, leaving a gift to People For Nature is one way to make that belief part of your legacy.
What is a bequest?
A bequest is a gift left to an individual or organisation in your will.
It can be a specific amount, a particular asset, or a percentage of what remains of your estate after your other commitments have been met.
Even a small percentage can make a meaningful difference.
Why leave a gift to People For Nature?
We have a big dream: to build a society where nature is central to every decision.
And we want to build it independently.
Too often, charities depend on corporate funding — sometimes from the very industries contributing to the problems they are trying to address. We believe environmental organisations need the freedom to speak honestly, challenge systems and stay true to their purpose.
People For Nature is small, independent and ambitious. We are building something designed to last — powered by citizens, not corporate interests.
A gift in your will can help give this little charity with a big dream the means to survive, grow and keep doing the work for generations to come.
People For Nature is an Australian registered charity and Deductible Gift Recipient. Your gift can help empower more Australians to understand, protect and restore the natural world — today and for generations to come.
Businesses have an important role to play in shaping a future where nature is valued, protected and restored.

As we build towards Citizen COP Australia 2026, we are proud to highlight our partnership with Green Scope Prod — a collaboration that brings a powerful new dimension to citizen-led climate and biodiversity action: storytelling through film.
In 2025 Green Scope Prod supported People For Nature by documenting our events, capturing not only what happened — but what it felt like. Through their lens, moments of connection, curiosity, and collective action were preserved and shared far beyond the rooms where they took place.
Adding a lens to citizen action
Citizen COP is built on a simple idea: global decisions should be shaped by the people they affect. It is a decentralised, people-powered movement that invites communities across Australia to host their own events alongside global COPs — creating a distributed “Green Zone” grounded in local conversations and action.
But for these conversations to travel, to inspire others, and to create a ripple effect — they need to be seen.
This is where Green Scope Prod plays a vital role.
By documenting Citizen COP and our broader programs, they help amplify citizen voices, making local initiatives visible, accessible, and shareable. Their work transforms ephemeral moments into lasting stories — ensuring that ideas, energy, and insights continue to circulate beyond each event.
A shared vision
At the heart of this partnership is a shared belief: storytelling is not just about documentation — it is a tool for change.
By combining citizen engagement with visual storytelling, we are helping ensure that the voices, ideas, and solutions emerging from communities are not only heard, but remembered, shared, and built upon.
We are deeply grateful to Green Scope Prod for their support, creativity, and commitment to amplifying citizen-powered change.
Together, we are not only creating spaces for dialogue — we are capturing a movement in motion.
As we reflect on 2025, we are proud to acknowledge our partnership with the Queensland Decarbonisation Hub — a collaboration that strengthened the connection between research, industry, policy, and citizen-led climate and nature action.
The Queensland Decarbonisation Hub brings together industry, research and policy to support Queensland’s transition to a low-carbon economy. By drawing on evidence-based research from universities across the state, the Hub helps identify practical pathways for decarbonisation and informs real-world implementation across sectors and communities.
Their support of AlterCOP 30 Australia — the Australian AlterCOP chapter initiated by People For Nature in 2025 — reflected a shared commitment to accelerating climate action through collaboration, knowledge-sharing, and grounded, practical engagement.
We designed AlterCOP 30 Australia as an independent, values-driven gathering running alongside the United Nations Climate Conference (COP30). Its purpose was simple: to create a free and inclusive space where voices often absent from formal negotiations — youth, First Nations leaders, local communities, scientists, artists, and grassroots changemakers — could come together to engage meaningfully with climate and nature action, while reducing the footprint of participation itself.
While Australia sent 494 official delegates to COP30, AlterCOP engaged more than 1,400 people nationwide — extending the spirit of open participation through citizen-led events and conversations across the country.
This first iteration demonstrated the importance of bridging structured, evidence-based climate work with citizen engagement — ensuring that knowledge does not remain siloed, but becomes part of a shared societal response.
As Dr Liz Young, QLD Decarbonisation Hub shared:
“Last night’s AlterCOP 30 Australia at the Precinct was truly extraordinary, filled with courage, leadership, and a deep generosity of spirit. People For Nature showcased remarkable leadership, shaping an evening marked by respect, curiosity, and connection. The evening’s message was clear: Listen deeply, connect with Country, share knowledge, and act with hope.”
Building on this foundation, the Queensland Decarbonisation Hub has continued to support People For Nature as we expand this work through Citizen COP Australia — a decentralised, people-powered initiative running alongside global COPs in 2026, designed to make climate and biodiversity engagement more locally grounded, inclusive, and participatory.
Across both initiatives, People For Nature’s focus remains consistent: strengthening environmental literacy, enabling citizen participation, and translating complex challenges into accessible, collective action.
We are grateful for the Queensland Decarbonisation Hub’s ongoing support and their role in helping connect science, policy, and community in meaningful ways.
As we reflect on 2025, we acknowledge the organisations that contributed to the early development and delivery of AlterCOP 30 Australia — the Australian AlterCOP chapter brought to life by People For Nature.
AlterCOP 30 Australia was designed as an independent, values-driven gathering running alongside the United Nations Climate Conference COP30. Its purpose was simple: to create a free and inclusive space where voices often absent from formal negotiations — youth, First Nations leaders, local communities, scientists, artists, and grassroots changemakers — could come together to engage meaningfully with climate and nature action, while actively reducing the environmental footprint of participation.
While Australia sent 494 official delegates to COP30, AlterCOP 30 Australia engaged more than 1,400 people nationwide — extending the spirit of open civic participation through citizen-led events and conversations across the country.
CO2 Australia supported AlterCOP 30 Australia because they believe sustainability and productivity go hand in hand — creating lasting value for people, land, and the planet.
As Chris Wilson, Chief Consulting and Strategy Officer at CO2 Australia shared:
“Events like AlterCOP 30 Australia are vitally important as we look to bridge the gap between those ‘talking’ at the global level, and those who are ‘doing’ locally. At CO2 Australia, we pride ourselves on execution and People for Nature clearly share the same philosophy. Connecting communities, creating shared understanding and then collaborating in service of our planet were clear themes throughout the AlterCOP 30 event.”
We gratefully acknowledge all individuals and organisations who supported People For Nature in 2025, including our anonymous donors.
As we reflect on the past year, we want to take a moment to express our deep gratitude to the individuals and partners who have stood beside us. Your support has not only helped us grow—it has helped us reach more communities, deepen our impact, and bring climate and biodiversity learning to life in ways that are accessible, hopeful, and action-oriented.

As we reflect on 2025, we acknowledge the organisations that contributed to the early development and delivery of AlterCOP 30 Australia — the Australian AlterCOP chapter brought to life by People For Nature.
AlterCOP 30 Australia was designed as an independent, values-driven gathering running alongside the United Nations Climate Conference COP30.

Mott MacDonald is an employee-owned engineering and management consultancy working at the forefront of sustainable infrastructure, engineering, and systems transformation.Their support reflects this commitment to positive change across buildings and infrastructure, and to engaging with initiatives that bring people closer to climate and nature solutions.
As Riya Tailor, Senior Sciences Engineer and BMS Coordinator – QLD & SAN, at Mott MacDonald shared:
“AlterCOP 30 Australia closely aligned with Mott MacDonald’s commitment to positive change in buildings and infrastructure. Engaging with People For Nature allowed our colleagues, both speakers and attendees, to feel inspired to drive environmental change in their work and personal lives. The event provided valuable insights that will inform future decisions, strengthen our role in creating sustainable places, and inspire ongoing action across the communities and projects we support.”
Alongside this partnership, People For Nature focused on citizen engagement, biodiversity literacy, and participatory learning experiences — helping translate complex climate information into accessible formats that inspire understanding and action.
We are deeply grateful to Mott MacDonald for their engagement in 2025.
As a charity working at the intersection of climate science, biodiversity, and collective intelligence, we are intentional about who we partner with and how we work together. Sponsorships are not simply a funding mechanism for us — they are a shared commitment to integrity, impact, and long-term systems change.
This is why we’ve developed a clear Sponsorship Philosophy to guide our work and ensure our partnerships serve people, nature, and the public good.
Partnerships, Not Transactions
We believe sponsorships should go beyond logos and visibility. At their best, they are purpose-driven partnerships that enable meaningful action, learning, and impact.
Our sponsorships are designed to:
deliver tangible outcomes for biodiversity conservation and climate education,
strengthen climate and nature literacy within organisations,
support citizen-led and place-based initiatives,
and contribute to a more equitable and regenerative future.
This approach helps ensure that our work — and the work of our partners — creates lasting value well beyond a single campaign or event.
Our Role: Translating Science Into Action
People For Nature exists to make complex environmental science accessible, engaging, and actionable.
Grounded in authoritative research and inspired by participatory learning approaches such as the Climate Fresk, our workshops and programs use collective intelligence to help people:
understand the science behind climate change and biodiversity loss,
explore systemic risks and interconnections,
engage in informed dialogue,
and identify meaningful pathways for action.
Through sponsorship partnerships, we scale this work responsibly — supporting education, community empowerment, and long-term resilience across Australia.
What We Look For in Partners
We partner with organisations that demonstrate:
a genuine commitment to environmental sustainability and social responsibility,
openness to learning, reflection, and transformation,
respect for evidence-based decision-making,
a desire to engage their people meaningfully on climate and nature,
and an ambition to contribute to measurable, real-world impact.
Alignment of values, intent, and impact ambition is essential. When alignment is strong, partnerships are more effective, credible, and enduring.
Our Ethical Boundaries
Integrity is non-negotiable.
Guided by the EIANZ Code of Ethics and our charitable purpose, People For Nature does not engage in sponsorships with organisations whose core activities conflict with our environmental mission.
This includes activities that:
drive fossil fuel extraction or expansion,
contribute to deforestation or biodiversity destruction,
undermine climate science or environmental protections.
We reserve the right to decline or conclude partnerships that compromise our independence, credibility, or public trust.
How We Design Our Partnerships
Every sponsorship partnership is intentionally designed.
Our approach is:
Impact-led — tied to clear outcomes in education, conservation, and community empowerment,
Transparent — with defined scope, expectations, and review points,
Collaborative — co-designed where appropriate, without compromising independence,
Balanced — recognition and visibility are proportionate and secondary to impact.
This ensures partnerships remain grounded in substance, not symbolism.
Accountability and Honest Reporting
We are committed to clear, honest communication with our partners and broader community.
Depending on the partnership, this may include:
annual impact and insights briefings,
program-level reporting,
qualitative and quantitative outcomes,
lessons learned — including what didn’t work.
We believe credibility comes from reporting reality, not just success stories.
Our Commitment
In every partnership, People For Nature commits to:
acting with integrity, independence, and care,
stewarding funds responsibly and transparently,
prioritising people and nature over growth or branding,
maintaining public trust in our work.
We seek partners who see sponsorship not as visibility, but as shared stewardship — a chance to contribute to a thriving future for people and the planet.
Our Partners
This philosophy is not theoretical — it is reflected in the organisations we already work with.
Our current partners include values-aligned organisations across climate education, biodiversity, business, and community sectors who share our commitment to integrity, evidence-based action, and long-term impact. They engage with us not for visibility alone, but to meaningfully support climate and nature literacy, empower people, and contribute to systemic change.
We are proud to collaborate with partners who:
invest in learning and capability-building,
respect scientific evidence and collective intelligence,
support citizen-led and place-based action,
and are willing to lead with integrity.
If this philosophy resonates with you, we’d love to explore what meaningful partnership could look like together: info@blog.peoplefornature.org.au
We empower your people to create positive change for nature
As businesses face the growing urgency of climate and biodiversity challenges, we believe your organisation has the potential to lead the way in creating meaningful change.
At People for Nature, we’re not interested in a traditional charity-corporate partnership. Instead, we’re building something different: a strategic relationship aimed at transformative change from within.
Together, we can align purpose with impact, embedding nature-positive solutions directly into your business strategy.
We transform businesses from within
Led by certified environmental practitioners, we combine strategic insight with hands-on experience in science, education, and community action.
Through our tailored training, we empower key people within your organisation to become certified People For Nature Ambassadors — not by doing the work for them, but by equipping them to lead the change from within.
We make complex science simple and actionable, guiding your team every step of the way. These ambassadors don’t just gain knowledge — they become trusted sustainability champions, bridging our expertise with your workplace culture.
They’re not just participants; they’re part of our extended family — the heart of a long-term, values-aligned partnership driving meaningful, nature-positive change from the inside out.
Our approach
1. Science-Based Education to Spark Action
Our globally renowned, science-based workshops translate the latest findings from the IPCC and IPBES into accessible, engaging sessions for your teams.
These workshops spark meaningful dialogue and shift mindsets — building a shared understanding that inspires action across all levels of your organisation.
2.Empowering Ambassadors for Local Impact
Through our Ambassador Program, we empower selected individuals within your organisation to lead the way in climate literacy and local biodiversity action.
These ambassadors become visible champions of your organisation’s environmental commitment, grounded in place and deeply connected to community.
3.Co-Creating Your Nature-Positive Journey
We’ll work alongside your team to co-design meaningful, measurable biodiversity initiatives aligned with your organisation’s sustainability strategy.
Our support includes strategic guidance, action planning, and impact evaluation — ensuring your efforts deliver genuine environmental value.
In-house expertise and national footprint
We bring together deep expertise in climate science, biodiversity, sustainability strategy, and community engagement.
People for Nature is led by two Certified Environmental Practitioners: Audrey Barucchi and Dr Fanny De Busserolles.
The Certified Environmental Practitioner (CEnvP) Scheme assesses the experience, skills, and ethical conduct of environmental professionals.
There are many meaningful ways to partner with People for Nature
Whether through partnerships, in-kind support, or donations, there are many ways businesses support our charitable purpose.Together, we can educate and empower citizens, inspire action for biodiversity, and innovate for a more resilient planet.
At People For Nature, we’re all about empowering people — individuals and communities alike — to take meaningful action on climate and biodiversity. But what makes us a bit different is how we operate: not just as a registered environmental charity, but also as a social enterprise. This means we blend the heart and purpose of a charity with the creativity and sustainability of a business.
What’s a Social Enterprise, Anyway?
Simply put, a social enterprise is a business set up to solve social or environmental problems. Instead of focusing on making profits for shareholders, it reinvests any money earned back into its mission. The Social Enterprise Council of NSW & ACT (SECNA) describes it as a business that trades to create positive change — both for people and the planet.
Social enterprises sit at this really exciting crossroads of doing good while staying financially sustainable. They’re not just charities relying on donations, and they’re not just businesses chasing profit. They’re something fresh — combining the best of both worlds to make a real difference.
Why Environmental and Social Work Go Hand in Hand
We truly believe that environmental issues are human issues. Some might say the environmental crisis is, at its core, a human crisis. When ecosystems suffer, people do too — especially vulnerable communities. Climate change and biodiversity loss affect people’s health, wellbeing, and livelihoods. That’s why at People For Nature, we see environmental care and social justice as inseparable.
By supporting nature, we’re supporting communities, and by empowering people, we’re protecting nature. It’s all deeply connected.
People For Nature: A Social Enterprise With a Charitable Heart
We’re proud to wear two hats:
Registered Environmental Charity: We’re officially recognised for our work benefiting the public, which means your donations are tax-deductible. We’re committed to being open, honest, and accountable in everything we do.
Social Enterprise: We also run educational workshops, corporate training, and community programs that generate income. This earned revenue helps us grow our impact and stay financially strong — all without losing sight of our environmental mission.
Why We Joined SECNA
SECNA is more than just an organisation — it’s a thriving community of changemakers who believe business can be a powerful force for environmental and social good. Being part of SECNA means we’re connected to:
Other nature-focused social enterprises like ours, helping each other thrive
Advocates pushing for policies that support and grow social and nature enterprises
A network of passionate people bridging business, environment, and community sectors
Being a SECNA member makes us stronger. It helps us blend smart business skills with deep care for nature. Because we know that solving climate and biodiversity challenges means finding new, creative ways that are both impactful and sustainable in the long run.
At People For Nature, we believe in the power of collaboration to accelerate climate and biodiversity education. That’s why we’re thrilled to announce our new partnership with Climate Training Co — a purpose-driven organisation empowering climate-literate professionals and organisations across Aotearoa New Zealand.
This partnership marks an exciting step in our journey: expanding our delivery capacity beyond Australia to support the growing demand for powerful, science-based education tools like the Climate Fresk and Biodiversity Collage.
With Climate Training Co’s deep expertise in climate strategy, facilitation, and training, and our commitment to accessible, participatory learning experiences, we’re ready to deliver even greater impact — together.
Whether you’re in Brisbane, Wellington, or anywhere in between, we’re working to ensure individuals, teams, and communities have the tools they need to understand complex environmental challenges and take action that matters.
🌿 Why it matters
Our work is grounded in the belief that knowledge leads to empowerment. By joining forces with like-minded organisations, we strengthen our collective ability to reach more people and build the foundations of a nature-positive, climate-resilient future.
🤝 What’s next?
More workshops.
More trained facilitators.
More communities empowered to step up for nature and climate.
We can’t wait to bring our shared energy, creativity, and knowledge to new audiences across the sea.
If you’re based in New Zealand and want to experience one of our workshops, collaborate on a project, or become a facilitator — get in touch: info@blog.peoplefornature.org.au
We’re excited to share that People For Nature is now a proud member of the Containers for Change scheme across Queensland and Western Australia!
This means that anyone returning eligible drink containers in these states can choose to donate their 10-cent refund directly to our charity — helping us educate, empower, and reconnect communities with nature.
🌿 What Is Containers for Change?
Containers for Change is a state-run container refund program that aims to reduce litter and increase recycling by offering a 10-cent refund for every eligible drink container returned.
By encouraging individuals to recycle thoughtfully, the program not only reduces waste and conserves resources — it also provides an opportunity to support local charities and community groups.
💚 Why It Matters
Australians use over 13 billion drink containers each year. A large portion ends up in landfill or as litter, particularly in waterways and natural environments, where they can take hundreds of years to break down and cause harm to wildlife and ecosystems.
Programs like Containers for Change help:
Reduce waste and pollution
Keep litter out of nature
Encourage a circular economy
Support local charities and community causes
And the best part? You can choose to support People For Nature with your refund.
Your donation can help fund:
Free climate and biodiversity workshops
Community education programs
Citizen science and nature-based action projects
🧃 How You Can Help
It’s simple:
Collect eligible drink containers – typically aluminium, glass, plastic, steel and liquid paperboard containers between 150ml and 3L.
Return them to a refund point in QLD or WA.
Enter our Scheme ID to donate your refund to People For Nature:
QLD Scheme ID: C11593214
WA Scheme ID: C11593239
Each 10-cent refund adds up — and contributes to a healthier planet and a stronger community movement.
🌏 Good for Nature, Good for You
Taking part in Containers for Change isn’t just an act of recycling — it’s an act of regeneration.
By taking responsibility for the waste we create, we reduce our environmental footprint, shift towards sustainable behaviours, and support the kinds of solutions we need to tackle climate change and biodiversity loss.
Let’s turn waste into action — one container at a time.
Thank you for standing with us for nature. 🌿

At People For Nature, we believe in the power of collaboration. Change doesn’t happen in isolation — it happens when people, organisations, and businesses come together with a shared vision. That’s why we’re incredibly grateful for our partnership with Green Socials, a business that not only helps us run our social media but does so entirely pro bono.
More Than a Transaction
A partnership between a business and a charity isn’t always about financial support. Sometimes, it’s about something even more valuable — a shared purpose. Green Socials understands the urgency of environmental action and the importance of educating and empowering people to protect our natural world. By offering their time and expertise, they’re helping us reach more people, engage our community, and amplify our impact.
The Heart of Giving
Of course, choosing to support a cause in this way comes at a cost. It means Green Socials has less time for paying clients. But it also speaks volumes about who they are and what they stand for as a brand. Their generosity and commitment to People and Nature show that business can be a force for good—not just through profits, but through purpose.
Keeping Charitable Causes Alive
For non-profits like ours, partnerships like these are crucial. They help us keep going, keep growing, and keep bringing nature back into people’s lives. We know that together, we can build something bigger than what we could achieve alone.
So to Green Socials, we say a heartfelt thank you. Your support makes all the difference, and we’re proud to have you by our side as we work towards a better, greener future.
Want to support us? Follow our journey, share our message, and consider how your business might give back—because together, we can create real change.
At People For Nature, we believe that the power to protect and restore our planet lies in the hands of communities, educators, and passionate individuals. As we continue to strengthen our commitment to educating Australians on climate change and biodiversity, we are thrilled to announce an exciting new collaboration with Biodiversity Collage, a global initiative born in France.
This partnership marks a significant milestone in our mission to bring cutting-edge biodiversity education to the world, uniting people from all corners of the globe in the fight to preserve our natural heritage.
Bridging the Gap Between Australia and France
At People For Nature, our mission is to empower individuals and businesses to take meaningful action in defence of biodiversity. Guided by our theory of change—that education drives awareness, awareness inspires care, and care leads to action—we have worked tirelessly to create accessible, engaging, and impactful educational resources that spark lasting change for our planet.
By partnering with Biodiversity Collage, we are not only expanding our reach but also strengthening our ability to provide meaningful, hands-on learning experiences for people of all ages and backgrounds.
The connection between People For Nature and Biodiversity Collage runs deep. As an educational tool, Biodiversity Collage uses collective intelligence to break down complex scientific concepts and make them easily understandable for all. Originating in France, this innovative approach to biodiversity education has quickly gained global recognition, and we are thrilled to introduce this powerful tool to Australians.
The Power of Biodiversity Collage
Biodiversity Collage is more than just a workshop; it’s an immersive experience that transforms participants’ understanding of the world’s biodiversity and the interconnectedness of life on Earth.
Through the Collage experience, participants engage in a creative and interactive session where they piece together the complex puzzle of biodiversity—learning about ecosystems, species, and their relationships to one another. It encourages a deep understanding of the environmental issues we face and inspires people to take action at the individual, professional, and community levels.
Biodiversity: Everywhere, for Everyone, by Everyone.
The success of Biodiversity Collage worldwide speaks volumes about its potential to inspire real change. By providing participants with the tools to understand biodiversity and the urgent need to protect it, the program fosters a sense of agency and responsibility that drives positive action.
A Global Partnership for Local Impact
By joining forces with Biodiversity Collage, People For Nature can now offer Australians access to this highly effective educational tool. Our shared goal is to bring the lessons of Biodiversity Collage to local communities across the country, empowering Australians with the knowledge they need to protect the unique ecosystems that sustain life in this beautiful country.
The collaboration between our two organisations is not only about sharing resources but also about learning from each other.
With Biodiversity Collage’s experience in engaging audiences globally, and People For Nature’s deep connection to local conservation issues in Australia, we are poised to create a synergy that will benefit communities on both sides of the world.
This partnership also opens up exciting possibilities for future projects, combining the strengths of both initiatives to expand the reach of biodiversity education and increase global participation in conservation efforts.
Why This Collaboration Matters
Australia is one of the most biodiverse countries on the planet, home to thousands of species found nowhere else in the world. From the Great Barrier Reef to the unique rainforests of Tasmania, the natural treasures of Australia are a fundamental part of the country’s identity. However, they are increasingly under threat from climate change, habitat loss, invasive species, and human activities. The urgency to address these challenges has never been greater.
At People For Nature, we are deeply committed to educating Australians about the value of biodiversity and the steps we must take to protect it. By collaborating with Biodiversity Collage, we now have the opportunity to bring cutting-edge educational tools to our communities, helping to ensure that the next generation of Australians understands the importance of preserving the environment and the role they can play in its protection.
Together, we can transform the way people perceive biodiversity and inspire a global movement that places conservation at the forefront of public discourse.
Our Vision
A society where everyone can make a tangible contribution, and biodiversity is central to every decision.
A Shared Vision for the Future
This partnership is not just about education; it’s about creating lasting change. As the sixth mass extinction accelerates, the need for urgent action has never been more pressing. To address this crisis, we need to engage and mobilise people from all walks of life. From young students to business leaders, from rural communities to urban dwellers, everyone has a role to play in ensuring the survival of our planet’s biodiversity.
Through the power of education, collaboration, and community engagement, People For Nature and Biodiversity Collage aim to inspire a generation of global citizens who are equipped with the knowledge, skills, and passion to protect the natural world. Whether through hands-on workshops, immersive learning experiences, or community-led conservation initiatives, we are committed to empowering people to take meaningful action in the fight to save biodiversity.
We invite you to join us in this exciting journey—whether by participating in a Biodiversity Collage workshop, sharing your knowledge with others, or taking part in a citizen conservation project. Together, we can make a difference, and together, we can help ensure that the beauty and diversity of our planet is protected for future generations.
Let’s connect the world to nature—one Collage at a time.
We are excited to announce that People For Nature is now an official environmental partner of 1% for the Planet, a global movement inspiring businesses and individuals to support environmental solutions through everyday actions. This partnership represents a significant step forward in our mission to reconnect people with nature and empower them to create a sustainable future.
1% for the Planet was founded in 2002 by Yvon Chouinard, Patagonia’s founder, and Craig Mathews, founder of Blue Ribbon Flies, to combat greenwashing and hold companies accountable for their environmental impact.
Their mission is simple: businesses profit from Earth’s resources, so they should contribute to protecting them.
Over 20+ years, 1% for the Planet has grown to 6,500 partners in 111 countries, generating $583 million in certified donations.
“This is not philanthropy. This should be a cost of doing business. It’s paying rent for our use of the planet.”
Yvon Chouinard | 1% for the Planet Co-founder
