About the Organization

Play for Nature has been founded in 2013 by Julien PIERRE (a former international rugby player) and Pascal DAMOIS (the actual director of Parc Animalier d’Auvergne). The endowment fund is an expert at finding and supporting in situ conservation programs, specialized in endangered species all around the world. We support organisations that are acting daily in their respective countries to protect ecosystems and species and raise local population awareness about biodiversity conservation, using in particular sport as vector of education and engagement. Play for Nature strategy is declined in three aspects:

• Biodiv’World: financial support to in situ conservation programs and scientific studies around the world.
• Biodiv’Sport: financial and technical support to conservation programs using sport to raise awareness among local citizens.
• Biodiv’Educ: Environmental education by using innovative and fun digital tools, through original workshops.

About the Grant

Every year, we provide technical and financial support to associations that carry out biodiversity conservation projects on the four continents.

These projects can take different forms but must always keep in their center the biodiversity conservation objective as well as the awareness of the local populations concerned by the project.

We fund two types of projects:

• Biodiversity conservation projects such as fauna and flora monitoring, scientific studies, reintroductions of individuals… with a share of awareness through information meetings, campaigns and education programs in schools.
• Biodiversity conservation projects using sport and the organization of sporting events as a tool to raise awareness of populations and vector of key messages for biodiversity conservation.
