Species protection<\/p>

Animal and plant species are a key part of our planet\u2019s biodiversity. Some species are \u201cflagship species\u201d. Other species can profit from their protection. Species can play a crucial role in the balance of a natural system: if these species disappear, that system may collapse.<\/p>Read more<\/span><\/div><\/a>

Ecosystem protection<\/h3>

We regard ecosystems as crucial in enabling life on earth to thrive.<\/p><\/div>

Ecosystem protection<\/p>

Key ecosystems, such as forests, coral reefs or wetlands, provide the living conditions for groups of species. These systems are under pressure, threatened and may require protection to prevent them from disappearing or deteriorating in a for living organisms less functional state.<\/p>Read more<\/span><\/div><\/a>
