Nature Network

A community of Founding Members investing in bold environmental action.

Together, we make bold environmental action possible.

Every breakthrough for nature begins with people who choose to act, people who understand that lasting environmental change doesn’t happen overnight, that it takes courage, persistence and sustained investment.

The Nature Network brings together a community of supporters who believe in protecting our planet by investing in the Environmental Investigation Agency’s ability to investigate environmental crime, influence policy and drive lasting systemic change.

As a Founding Member, your unrestricted support will give EIA the flexibility to respond quickly when opportunities arise, strengthen long-term campaigns and protect the natural world where the need is greatest.

Together, we’re helping to make EIA’s future work possible.

Why the Nature Network?

Many environmental challenges cannot be solved through short-term projects alone.

Whether tackling illegal wildlife trade, protecting climate-critical forests or exposing environmental crime, lasting change depends on organisations having the freedom to respond quickly, invest in expertise and pursue ambitious long-term campaigns.

That's why funding which isn’t tied to one specific project matters.

Nature Network members choose to invest in EIA as a whole. Their support gives us the flexibility to act where and when we're needed most.

In a rapidly changing world, this flexibility is one of the most powerful tools for protecting nature.

Why become a Founding Member?

By joining the Nature Network during its inaugural year, you'll become part of the first community helping to shape this exciting new chapter for EIA.

As a Founding Member, you'll enjoy experiences reserved for Founding Members, available only to Nature Network members and curated specifically for the Nature Network community.
