HOW WE RELATE TO THE BJF
We have a rigorous selection process to ensure that the programs we fund have potential to deliver significant, lasting impact. This helps us engage in the most promising solutions, with tools from giving to investing, that drive meaningful change for the most marginalized.
We believe that strategic partnerships are key to success and we work collaboratively across sectors and themes. Our partners share a common impact agenda with a clear strategy and approach to achieve it.
That’s why we partnered with the Black Jaguar Foundation to implement the Araguaia Biodiversity Corridor: quality ecological restoration to recover ecosystems and generate a positive impact on local communities in the Araguaia region and the entire Earth.
