Description:
The Global Trees Campaign is a partnership between Fauna & Flora International (FFI) and Botanic
Gardens Conservation International (BGCI).
Over 8,000 tree species, 10% of the world's total, are threatened with extinction. Destruction of woodland
and forest and unsustainable felling of valuable timbers are threatening many important
species, and alarmingly few of these endangered trees are receiving conservation attention.
The Global Trees Campaign, a joint initiative between Fauna & Flora International (FFI) and Botanic
Gardens Conservation International (BGCI) in association with other partners around the world,
aims to highlight the plight of the world’s threatened tree species and initiate conservation action
to save them.
The Global Trees Campaign works to save the world's most threatened tree species and their habitats
through provision of information, conservation action and support for sustainable use. The
campaign focuses on trees as flagship species for conservation of ecosystems and landscapes, and enables
local people to carry out rescue and sustainable use operations.
We work in partnership with a range of organisations, including government agencies, non-government
organisations, research institutions and local groups, developing their awareness of the issues
and capacity to tackle the threats facing tree species. Wherever possible, we seek to support and enhance
local livelihoods through our work, and always ensure that our initiatives do not impact
negatively on human needs.
