Sustainable
Changing the course of human activity to pull the world back from the brink of climate disaster.
Restoring the ecosystems of the world’s oceans and waterways that are critical to sustaining biodiversity, food supplies, and the oxygen we breathe.
Removing toxins from the air, the ground, and the water that threaten not only human health, but the network of life from the pollinators to the coral reefs, from the animals of the forests to the creatures of the sea that rely on us for them to thrive.
Ocean Conservation
The health of our oceans is crucial to the viability of all life on earth. They have a major role in regulating the balance of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and are a crucial source of food. Climate change, overfishing, and the encroachment of toxic wastes, including plastics and other toxins threaten the diversity of species from microorganisms and corals to the largest mammals of the seas.
Mote Marine Laboratory is a world class research organization dedicated to the health of the oceans and the creatures that inhabit them. Through a grant to Mote's International Center for Coral Reef Research and Restoration, we have supported cutting edge science to repopulate threatened reefs around the world.
The Nature Conservancy's Blue Bonds for Conservation is designed to protect fisheries and habitats, including mangroves and coral reefs, surrounding 20 island nations, protecting over 4 million square kilometers over five years. This will not only improve ocean health, but will also fortify shorelines against storms, tidal waves, and rising seas, while providing a model of conservation for other island nations.
Project CETI (Cetacean Translation Initiative) will use Artificial Intelligence and robotics to study the communication of a population of sperm whales with the goal of communicating with these intelligent creatures. Beyond the stunning pure science achievement would be an appreciation of these sentient creatures that would encourage humanity to respect and protect all cetaceans.
The Dolphin Biology Research Institute has conducted the longest running study of a bottlenose dolphin population, spanning 40 years. It has been crucial to understanding the impact of human activity upon dolphin health and survival as well as the impact of natural events such as Red Tide blooms. It is also studying their communication patterns and migration habits.

Land Conservation
Protecting land is crucial to preserving wildlife habitats and corridors as well as to protecting forests that absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and produce oxygen. The threatened loss of rain forests to human activity and fire may contribute to the tipping point of climate change.
Earth Alliance's Amazon Forest Fund is committed to preventing deforestation and destruction by wildfire of the large rain forest that has been called the "lungs of the planet." This will also contribute to the protection of indigenous land and the economic health of indigenous communities.
The Conservation Foundation of the Gulf Coast is dedicated to conserving wildlife habitats in South Florida and creating wildlife corridors between conserved lands. Its work not only contributes to preserving wildlife diversity, but also contributes to the health of waterways and coastal seas.
The Conservation Trust for Florida is also dedicated to preserving land and wildlife for future generations.
