Our Programs

Environmental Education

Our mission is to engage all people, especially children, in learning how to make respectful, conscious, positive decisions about the planet we share. Further, to explore how we each can make a difference in environmental quality and protecting biodiversity. We realize people must first understand their place in the global community and environment, and in turn the impact of their actions — to that end real-world, practical education is fundamental to our approach.

Our program strategy is to support and develop successful projects with local partners and then replicate to regional scale, creating sustained grassroots change, leaving a blueprint for others to use and evolve. Because these are regionally-based, they embrace the broad-scale patterns of biological diversity and ecological processes.

Focal Regions

To better direct our impact on the ground, GLOBIO has narrowed down our efforts to four regions that are critical for protecting great apes and their forest homes. We partner with groundbreaking conservation organizations within these regions to strengthen their species-saving efforts. GLOBIO supports our partners through a number of fundraising and capacity building avenues to amplify their critical conservation work.

Media & Communications

LIGHT…CAMERA…CONSERVATION! Visual learning has always been core to human learning – from millennia-old rock art to the latest digital device. Our visual program creates powerful imagery to educate, motivate and inspire, while also supporting outreach initiatives for our Program Partners. Our Apes Like Us Youtube Channel is one key element of our Film & Media program.
