The Wyss Academy for Nature is a Swiss foundation that co-designs and assesses innovative development pathways and conservation approaches. Our initiatives, rooted in scientific and other types of knowledge, stakeholder engagement, and the implementation of creative solutions, unfold within four regional stewardship hubs. These hubs are strategically positioned in East Africa (Kenya and Madagascar), South America (Peru), Southeast Asia (Thailand and Laos), and Europe (Switzerland). Our vision is to achieve a just and sustainable world in which nature conservation and human wellbeing reinforce each other.
We are a place of innovation, where research, business, policymakers, and communities come together to create solutions to pressing, interconnected problems such as climate change, biodiversity loss, land use change, and rising inequality.
