the world’s longest established international
conservation body whose remit is
to protect the entire spectrum of endangered
species of animals and plants
worldwide. It has a unique method of
funding, the 100% Fund, where all funds
donated go directly to conservation projects,

solutions to conservation
problems. FFI is committed to empowering
local people, assisting them to realise
their own potential for effective species
conservation. Its constituency is made up

Profile: The FAO was founded in
October 1945 with a mandate to raise
levels of nutrition and standards of living,
to improve agricultural productivity, and
to better the condition of rural populations.
FAO’s main functions are:
development assistance information and
support services, advice to governments
and a neutral forum for international
co-operation. A priority of FAO is
encouraging sustainable agriculture and
rural development, a long-term strategy
18
for the conservation and management of
natural resources. It aims to meet the
needs of both present and future generations
through programmes that do not
degrade the environment and are technically
appropriate, economically viable
and socially acceptable.
