Mission
FOS AMPLIFIES THE COLLECTIVE IMPACT OF THE GLOBAL CONSERVATION COMMUNITY BY PROVIDING PRACTITIONERS WITH THE SKILLS AND TOOLS NEEDED TO BE MORE EFFECTIVE AND EFFICIENT IN THEIR EFFORTS TO FOSTER THRIVING ECOSYSTEMS, CONSERVE NATURAL RESOURCES, AND ADVANCE HUMAN WELL-BEING. WE HELP TEAMS OVERCOME OBSTACLES TO LEARNING AND COLLABORATION BY PROMOTING A COMMON FRAMEWORK FOR THE PLANNING AND MANAGEMENT OF CONSERVATION PROJECTS. COLLABORATING DIRECTLY WITH CONSERVATION TEAMS, WE STRENGTHEN SKILLS AND PROVIDE THE TOOLS NEEDED FOR TEAMS TO BE MORE STRATEGIC, EFFICIENT, AND EFFECTIVE. ACROSS THE WORLD, WE BRING TOGETHER CONSERVATION PRACTITIONERS, FUNDERS, AND EDUCATORS TO SHARE LESSONS AND ASK TOUGH QUESTIONS. THE RESULT IS A MORE INNOVATIVE AND DISCIPLINED CONSERVATION COMMUNITY PREPARED TO TAKE ON THE THREATS TO OUR PLANET.
