By protecting and restoring nature, we can safeguard ecosystem services - including clean water, crop pollination, resilience to natural disasters, and cultural heritage - and ensure their survival as the foundation of human society.

Protect the animal kingdom. And give the world that glimmer of hope.
Sir David Attenborough introduces The Lion’s Share
To be successful in the long-term, companies need to take sustainability seriously. One, because supply chains depend on it. Two, because consumers will vote with their feet. And three, because companies are really just collections of individuals. As members of the human race, we need to start dealing with the challenges we face. But governments, companies or NGOs alone are not powerful enough to drive the kind of change that we need to see. The Lion’s Share is a simple easy way to take action in a way that motivates change and brings all of us together.Andy Pharoah

Each year, we lose 10,000 species to extinction – a staggering 1,000 times the natural rate. The Lion’s Share idea is as fascinating as the far-reaching impact it will have. The revenue generated from this ambitious and innovative partnership will make a real and lasting effect on the future of our planet and the animals we share it with.Achim Steiner
