The CNRS Foundation is celebrating World Day of Generosity and Solidarity with the #GivingTuesday movement.
On this day, the CNRS Foundation wishes to highlight the protection of biodiversity. The ambition of the CNRS Foundation for Biodiversity campaign is to raise 3 million euros, focused on three priority areas :
- ” The Sentinels of Biodiversity “: an age-old chronicle on an exceptional scale
- ” Les Zones Ateliers : a unique method for research close to the field
- ” Les Observatoires Hommes-Milieux : an exploration of the relationship between people and environments
Biodiversity is humanity’s life insurance policy. Understanding the role of biodiversity in the functioning of ecosystems, quantifying the impact of global changes, including climate change, and testing the effectiveness of conservation and restoration policies for certain ecosystems in order to better preserve the services that biodiversity provides to human societies. All this requires detailed knowledge of how biodiversity has evolved over time.
The campaign also aims to support high-quality, interdisciplinary projects through long-term funding, and to establish specific indicators to assess the impact of funded projects.
Your generosity will enable us to make significant and rapid advances in research on key biodiversity issues, to speed up the discoveries that will enable us to better understand and adapt to the climate crisis.
It will also strengthen France’s position in the global research arena and contribute to the excellence of French research, thanks to a demanding, collaborative and innovative approach.
Support the CNRS Foundation’s ambitious campaign!
