Support Sicily Environment Fund

Aim

Sicily Environment Fund aims to protect and restore biodiversity and ecosystems in Sicily.

The Sicily Environment Fund (SEF) was established in 2022 to support local environmental and conservation initiatives in Sicily, helping communities becoming leaders in the transition towards long-term climate resilience. 

SEF is a member of Conservation Collective, a global network of local foundations funding effective grassroots conservation initiatives to protect the environment, restore nature and safeguard against climate change.

Our vision is to generate positive environmental change by raising funds locally and internationally to provide essential financial support to local partners for the implementation of grassroots projects or executing flagship programs to ensure the long-term sustainability of local initiatives.

We are nurturing a network to tackle some of the most pressing environmental challenges in the Aeolian Islands. Across our ongoing projects we have promoted the importance of marine protected areas, ghost nets recovery and the conservation of the endemic Aeolian lizard.

We need your support to continue our mission, working closely with our local partners, offering guidance and assistance to help communities maximize the impact of their resources, promoting projects with strong environmental and social benefits, raising community awareness, amplifying the visibility of local commitment.

Future projects will focus on promoting birdwatching as a sustainable form of tourism and combating alien species to protect endemic ecosystems.

None of this would be possible without your generous support!
