The Artelia Foundation is launching a call for projects “Acting to preserve biodiversity and the climate”.
The call for projects aims to support projects designed to protect nature and living organisms in the fight against climate change. They may include actions such as:
Preserving functional ecosystems in good ecological status;
Restoring degraded or threatened ecosystems or creating ecosystems;
Improving the resilience of ecosystems;
Improving ecosystem management for sustainable use by human activities;
These projects may include observation, research, and awareness-raising activities along with concrete, measurable actions in favour of biodiversity and the climate.
