Our mission
The Mediterranean basin is the world’s second largest biodiversity hotspot, yet 16 per cent of its forest species are threatened with extinction, in part due to prolonged drought, extreme heat waves, and wildfires.
The initiative is shifting away from a traditional focus on fighting wildfires and addressing their aftermath, towards prevention through better forest management.
