Nonprofit Overview

Causes: Animals, Environment, Environmental Education, Forest Conservation, International Environment, Population & Sustainability, Wildlife Preservation & Protection

Mission: We at Ceiba envision a world where people and biodiversity thrive because of each other; a world where the value of nature is recognized, and its conservation is understood as being inextricably connected to human wellbeing. Our mission is to connect tropical nature and sustainable livelihoods through habitat conservation and environmental education. Tropical habitats contain 50% of the world's biodiversity, yet are threatened by accelerating rates of deforestation. Most of the remaining unprotected lands are privately held, and new means are needed to conserve these forests. Ceiba works to protect habitat and the biodiversity found there through by implementing legal conservation agreements with landowners, providing public education about the value of wild nature, conducting research on the relationship between humans and the land, and encouraging sustainable economic activities that improve livelihoods while safeguarding biodiversity.
