Threatened tree species conservation is at the heart of projects supported by the foundation. We adopted a species approach recognizing that species conservation is inevitably linked to habitat conservation and the protection of the interests of human population depending on them.

​

We provide financial support but are not interested in remaining just donors. We wish to engage with our beneficiaries and participate in strategic discussion about tree conservation around the world in order to increase our impact.

​
The foundation occasionally supports the production of floras such as Flora of North America, China or Vietnam/Laos/Cambodia. We also support a limited number of botanic gardens, a few research projects and the production of tools for botanic gardens. We actively support the publication of Red Lists with the aim of completing the assessment of the world’s tree species as quickly as possible; this is an essential step to better guide conservation efforts and avoid additional species extinctions.
