MISSION
To empower societies to responsibly and sustainably care for nature and culture, for the well-being of humanity.
Fundación Naturaleza para el Futuro (FuNaFu)
History
Founded in 2001, FuNaFu was created to respond to the enthusiasm of people who love nature and wish to live alongside it sustainably.
Partnership with WLT
Luis Castelli, Executive Director of FuNaFu, has worked with World Land Trust (WLT) for many years as a legal representative in Argentina. Luis advised WLT on its first project in Argentina, Estancia la Esperanza, from the beginning but more recently worked with WLT in Misiones Province. WLT identified FuNaFu as a suitable organisation to become a programme partner for the Emerald Green Corridor and this partnership became official in 2012.
The video above of Luis Castelli, Executive Director of FuNaFu was recorded during WLT’s 25th Anniversary Partners Symposium in May 2014 at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew.
