• Develop a data collection and analysis plan and strengthen and develop new partnerships and exchanges in our ongoing projects.
• Influence decision-making at the government level, informed by analysis of shared data by adapting language and making data more accessible to the general public and other stakeholders.
• Strengthen campaigns and the promotion of legislation and alternatives to illegal or harmful practices for and with communities.
• Invest in the development of employment opportunities associated with nature conservation.
• Build staff capacity based on an organization-wide capacity needs assessment and develop and implement a financial sustainability plan.

Born as an environmental and social branch of the HBD group and financed by entrepreneur Mark Shuttleworth, the Foundation is now independently managed and has a strategic plan focused on biodiversity conservation and social and economic development of the communities of the island of Principe.

Today, the Foundation has a team of nearly 50 employees, more than 90% of whom are local, who implement land and marine conservation projects in partnership with regional authorities and local communities. Financially supported by more than 15 funders, the foundation collaborates with a large network of regional, national and international partners that is growing every day!
