Ongoing Project
The Community Nature Network, UK
In partnership with Hubbub, we launched the Community Nature Network, a collective of community-led green spaces bringing people together to enjoy nature, learn new skills, and care for their local environment. This new network will offer funding, guidance, templates and peer to peer support to community groups who wish to establish new or improve existing green space. As part of the project, we also funded 26 community groups up and down the country to develop new or enhanced green spaces.

Through real-world case studies and 15 transformational shifts, BTC 2.0 helps move beyond ESG reporting toward meaningful impact.


Ongoing Project
Improving Access to Clean Energy, Nepal
The CLASS project pilots clean energy solutions to support communities in Banke National Park’s buffer zone. Initiatives include solar-powered water pumps, biogas plants, and wildlife conflict mitigation efforts, improving livelihoods, conservation, and safety for local Mughali and Tharu populations while fostering sustainable resource use.


Ongoing Project
Community-led Action, Greece
In partnership with the Blue Marine Foundation, we are supporting local fishers driving the creation of Greece’s first government-backed, community-led no-take Marine Protected Areas around Amorgos. Covering 12.83 km², the initiative safeguards key biodiversity, supports sustainable fishing, and strengthens ecosystem resilience in the Cycladic islands.


Ongoing Project
Regenerating the Valley Brook in Crewe, UK
In partnership with the Rivers Trust and Mersey Rivers Trust, we are regenerating the Valley Brook, a small urban river near Bentley Motors' headquarters in Crewe, which is facing water quality and flooding challenges due to agricultural and sewage pollution. There’s also significant local issues around flooding, access to green space and air quality. Through nature-based solutions, including wetland creation and habitat restoration, this project enhances blue-green spaces, strengthens biodiversity, and provides essential ecosystem services.


Ongoing Project
River Waste Collection, Thailand
In partnership with everwave, the Audi Environmental Foundation, and Ferry Porsche Foundation, this project uses AI-powered boats to collect waste from Bangkok’s Chao Phraya River. Alongside job creation and school outreach, it tackles plastic pollution at its source, protecting marine life and inspiring public action.


Ongoing Project
Accelerating the Growth of Nature-Inspired Startups
In partnership with the Biomimicry Institute, we helped transform the ‘Ray of Hope Prize’ into what now termed the ‘Ray of Hope Accelerator’. Each year, this program supports 10 early-stage, nature-inspired startups with funding, coaching, and training focused on sustainability, innovation, and founder wellbeing. The accelerator serves as a platform for building a global community of purpose-driven entrepreneurs driving positive environmental impact.


Ongoing Project
Air Quality Monitoring Network, Argentina
In partnership with The Climate Group, we helped launch Tucumán’s first hybrid air quality monitoring network. Combining a Federal Reference Laboratory with over 30 sensor modules, the system tracks pollution levels, providing critical data that guides public policies to reduce emissions and protect public health.


Ongoing Project
Seagrass and Microalgae Restoration, Spain
In partnership with Seatrees and The Cleanwave Foundation, this project restores seagrass and algae habitats around Formentor, Mallorca. By combining citizen science, hands-on training, marine debris removal, and sustainable mooring, the initiative revives biodiversity while engaging the local community in protecting their coastal ecosystem.


Ongoing Project

Mangrove Restoration, Kenya
In partnership with SeaTrees and local group COBEC, this project restores vital mangrove ecosystems while supporting surrounding communities with food, shelter, energy, and coastal protection. Local residents are trained and employed to replant mangroves, grow seedlings, and monitor regrowth, building both climate resilience and sustainable livelihoods.


Ongoing Project
Kelp Forest and Sunflower Star Restoration, USA
In partnership with SeaTrees, Reef Check California, G2KR, and Sunflower Star Laboratory, we are restoring vital kelp forests in the Monterey area. Local volunteer divers remove purple urchins, kelp’s main threat, while scientists aim to reintroduce sunflower stars to help keep urchin populations in check. Together, these efforts are rebuilding underwater ecosystems, supporting marine biodiversity, and strengthening ocean resilience.
