30 years standing with Nature
This year, we celebrate 30 years of Nature and Culture International
Thirty years ago, we made a decision to work alongside communities, governments, and partners to protect the world’s most biodiverse landscapes.
Today, that commitment is stronger than ever.
More than an anniversary
It’s a moment to recognize the journey, thank those who made this work possible, and reaffirm our commitment to nature and the people who protect it.

Our founders, Ivan Gayler and Renzo Paladines
We celebrate the work that began with a simple but powerful belief that protecting nature requires collaboration, trust, and long-term commitment.
Thirty years later, that vision continues to guide our efforts as we work alongside communities and partners to protect some of the most biodiverse landscapes in the world.
30 YEARS MADE POSSIBLE TOGETHER
Thank You for Being Part of this Journey
To our founders, donors, partners, local communities, and team: thank you.
These 30 years are the result of shared effort and a shared conviction — that nature and people can thrive together.
THE CHALLENGES CONTINUE.
SO DOES OUR DETERMINATION.
The next 30 years start now
Deforestation, climate pressures, and biodiversity loss are intensifying. What happens in the next decade wil determine the future of all life on our planet.
We remain committed to nature, to communities, and to the living landscapes that sustain life.
