Foundation For Environmental Education

Established in 1981, the Foundation for Environmental Education (FEE) is one of the world's largest environmental education organisations, with over 100 member organisations in 81 countries. At the heart of the FEE are our five programmes. Coordinated by the Head Office in Copenhagen and implemented by our members around the world, our programmes aim to bring positive change on a global scale: The internationally recognized Eco-Schools programme engages young people in quality environmental education and meaningful action. Through a seven-step framework, pupils are empowered and motivated to drive change and improve environmental awareness in their school, local community and beyond. Close to 50,000 schools around the world are part of the Eco-Schools programme. Learning about Forests (LEAF) advocates for outdoor learning and hands-on experiences, allowing students to connect with nature and develop a deeper understanding of the natural world. While the LEAF programme started with a focus on tree-based ecosystems, today it includes a diversity of ecosystems to foster skills and knowledge by exposing learners to outdoor experiences. LEAF is implemented in 28 countries. Young Reporters for the Environment (YRE) is an award-winning programme that empowers young people to take an educated stand on environmental issues they feel strongly about and gives them a platform to articulate these issues through the media of writing, photography and video. Over 300,000 students engage in the YRE programme yearly. The iconic Blue Flag programme is one of the world's most recognized eco-tourism awards for beaches, marinas, and tourist boat operators. In order to qualify for the Blue Flag, a series of stringent environmental, educational, safety, and accessibility criteria must be met and maintained. Over 5,000 beaches, marinas and tourism boats are currently awarded. Green Key is a voluntary eco-certification programme. With more than 4,000 certified hotels and other establishments in 60 countries, Green Key is the leading standard for excellence in the field of environmental responsibility and sustainable operation within the tourism and hospitality industry. With 40 years of impactful experience in Education for Sustainable Development (ESD), FEE's strategic plan - GAIA 20:30 - prioritises climate action across all five programmes to address the urgent threats of climate change, biodiversity loss and environmental pollution. FEE's Environmental Education Principles The member organisations of FEE have agreed upon these principles to guide our work towards excellence in EE/ESD: 1. Ensure that participants are engaged in the learning/teaching process. 2. Encourage participants to make reasonable decisions and actions on real life sustainability issues. 3. Encourage participants to work together actively and involve their communities in collaborative solutions. 4. Support participants to examine their assumptions, knowledge, and experiences, in order to develop critical thinking and to be open to change. 5. Encourage participants to be aware of cultural practices as an integral part of sustainability issues. 6. Encourage participants to share inspirational stories of their achievements, failures, and values, to learn from them and to support each other. 7. Continuously explore, test and share innovative approaches, methodologies, and techniques. 8. Ensuring continuous improvements through monitoring and evaluating are central focus of our programmes. FEE's overall Mission is to engage and empower people through education in collaboration with our members and partners worldwide.

Conservation International do Brasil

Conservation International operates in more than 30 countries across six continents. In Brazil, Conservacao Internacional Brasil, focuses on the Amazon Rainforest, Atlantic Rainforest, and Cerrado biomes, alongside critical marine and coastal priority areas. Our Indigenous Peoples Strategy prioritizes the Xingu and Jurua river basins in the Brazilian Amazon Rainforest, engaging with Indigenous Lands of the Ashaninka, Noke Koi, Yawanawa, Kayapo, Panara, and Xingu Indigenous communities. Our projects address a range of issues from climate resilience to gender equity. Some of our current flagship projects include: Our Future Forests (2021-2024, funded by the French Government): Strengthening Yawanawa and Ashaninka Indigenous organizations, improving protected area management through territorial monitoring (such as the pilot prototype here proposed), supporting young Indigenous leaders, and promoting sustainable production chains. L'Oreal Fund For Women (2022-2024): Empowering Kayapo women through the establishment of 39 sewing houses, which have directly and indirectly benefitted around 1,800 women through employment and sustainable alternative livelihood opportunities. This project fosters economic autonomy and strengthens women's roles within their communities. Xingu+ (2023-2028, funded by HP): Enhancing territorial protection, environmental monitoring, and sustainable management of the Panara Indigenous Land and the Xingu River Protected Areas Corridor, covering approximately 150,000 hectares. This project also strengthens the Xingu+ network, an alliance of 32 organizations working to defend the 25,000 IP&LC members and 26 million preserved hectares of the Xingu Socio-Environmental Diversity Corridor.
