MAVA also generously continues to invest in our Campaign for a Living Planet, allowing us to improve our engagement and effectiveness on a global scale as well as making a major investment in our fundraising to support our growth strategy. We also continue an important collaboration with MAVA for the innovative Luc Hoffmann Institute, enabling us to mobilize world-class thinking in conservation science, policy and practice. Fondation Montagu is supporting our efforts in Chile to protect the blue whale and the exceptional biodiversity of the Chiloense Marine Ecoregion by reducing environmental threats, promoting sustainable environmental business and working towards the creation of new marine protected areas. Our crucial partnership with Oak Foundation enables us to continue promoting sustainable fisheries management, advocate for a meaningful reform of the Common Fisheries Policy in Europe and stop harmful fishing subsidies in emerging economies. The Foundation also supports our climate and energy policy work in Europe and our global efforts to promote a low-carbon future. In the face of climate change, we are also working together to safeguard the Arctic environment and those dependent on its rich natural resources. By supporting our Explore! youth volunteer and internship programme, Oak Foundation gives aspiring conservationists the opportunity to gain formative experience by participating in WWF projects around the world. The Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation is helping us secure a future for the Amur tiger in northeast China by establishing a new network of protected areas.

We are working together in Madagascar for the establishment of the Toliara Reef Marine Protected Area and to implement our environmental education programme. Fondation Salvia is a key supporter of our Explore! youth volunteer and internship programme.
