Who are we?

Play for Nature was founded in 2013 and is recognized as a public benefit and humanitarian organization. Member of the IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature), it is involved in the preservation of endangered species and their ecosystems in France and around the world.

#OneTeamForBiodiversity

Our project

Play for Nature has become an expert in research and evaluation of in situ conservation programs. Programs supported by Play for Nature have always included both wildlife and biodiversity in natural settings, without forgetting the human aspect. Thus, it is the natural ecosystem as a whole as well as the relationship of the programs with the local population that are taken into account in the selection process.

Engaged with the local populations for the preservation of biodiversity and endangered species, Play for Nature supports technically and financially the cohesion between humans and their ecosystems through awareness-raising, support for scientific research and sporting events around the world.

Play for Nature is a member of the French Center for Funds and Foundations (CFFF). As an endowment fund, it is recognized as being of general interest and can therefore benefit from donations and legacies, and donors (individuals and companies) can benefit from tax advantages.
