PROTECTING GLOBAL BIODIVERSITY CAMPAIGN

September 2021 - August 2022

With over 100 member organisations in 81 countries, FEE is the world’s largest Environmental Education organisation. Through our five programmes, we strive to make a difference every day. Our programmes, Blue Flag, Eco-Schools, Green Key, Learning about Forests (LEAF) and Young Reporters for the Environment (YRE), use a solution-based approach to empower people to create a more environmentally conscious world.

To disseminate our principles and encourage communities to take an active part in supporting and preserving our natural environment, we launch a large Biodiversity Campaign, encompassing a set of activities targeted at different stakeholders to emphasise the importance of protecting global biodiversity and ecosystems. The campaign is led by the LEAF programme, and is open to the entire FEE network, Blue Flag, Eco-Schools, Green Key, LEAF and YRE.

Together, we can change the world!
