Dr. Stuart Pimm founded Saving Nature in 2019 as part of his vision of restoring nature for sustainable gains and broader impact. It builds on the exceptional success with SavingSpecies, an organisation he founded in 2007 to create wildlife corridors in important areas for biodiversity.

Saving Nature has developed a unique blueprint for leveraging local conservation action to solve global environmental challenges. It learns from past experiences and has a considerably expanded conservation mission.

The team at Saving Nature focuses on nature in crisis in biodiversity hotspots where poverty and environmental destruction drive species extinctions and hardship for local communities.  We look for vanishing forests, grassland, wetlands, and other habitats with unique biodiversity, acquiring and restoring habitat to secure their future. 

We work with young scientists, local NGOs, and the scientific community to map, monitor, model, and share frontline lessons and best practices for restoring habitat, recolonising species, and protecting ecosystem services for local communities.

Using science to drive our programmes, seeking peer review from experts, and developing capacity in local organisations to carry out the work, we are more certain of making the right investments with a higher probability of long-term success.

By openly propagating conservation knowledge, the insights gained from our science, monitoring, and modelling programmes have the potential to inform conservation best practices on a global scale, achieving impact far beyond the projects in which we are directly involved.
