There is growing interest among entrepreneurs in actively contributing to nature and biodiversity restoration and conservation, either close to home or further down their value chains. In addition, there is a growing need among companies to learn more about the impact of their activities on nature and biodiversity. Does this also apply to your company?

Entrepreneurs for Nature
Entrepreneurs for Nature connects companies pursuing sustainable business practices and aiming to contribute to the protection and restoration with high-impact projects. Your company can contribute to nature and biodiversity restoration in various ways:
- become a Business Partner of IUCN NL, or
- make a corporate donation.
As a Business Partner of IUCN NL, you contribute to a just world in which nature is valued and protected.
Become a Business Partner of IUCN NL
As a Business Partner of IUCN NL, you contribute to a just world in which nature is valued and protected. Our goal is to safeguard nature as the basis for all life on Earth. In doing so, we pay particular attention to areas of high natural value and with exceptional biodiversity that are under pressure, as well as to the people who depend on those ecosystems. With your contribution, you are helping us realising this mission. We make tailor-made agreements and would be happy to discuss the various forms of collaboration with you.
Donate via Entrepreneurs for Nature
Entrepreneurs for Nature finances impactful nature restoration measures that contribute to a robust nature network in which vulnerable plants and animals have a change to thrive again, as well as measures that stimulate climate change mitigation and adaptation.
Would you like to contribute to nature restoration through a corporate donation?
Through Entrepreneurs for Nature, you can contribute to the financing of nature restoration projects with a corporate donation. This can be done, for example, by supporting a nature restoration project of a local partner of the IUCN NL Land Acquisition Fund in Latin America, Africa, or Asia. You can also contribute to nature conservation in the Netherlands, or support the mission of IUCN NL more broadly.

Bird Brewery, a brewery with a heart for nature and birds in particular, will once again support the Land Acquisition Fund. With every litre of beer sold, Bird Brewery contributes to secure the habitat of the maleo in Tompotika, Indonesia. ‘We believe that action is needed now to preserve existing nature. This new initiative allows us to safeguard specific areas, together with strong local partners,’ says Rik van den Berg of Bird Brewery.
