Our vision is to create a sustainable future for the planet where biodiversity is conserved by the people living closest to it. We aim to do this through the conservation of threatened species and ecosystems worldwide, choosing solutions that are sustainable, based on sound science and take account of human needs. We have become a trusted entity in the world of conservation. Today FFI is active in over 40 countries.

Outstanding organisational and time management skills, a methodical, efficient approach, and a real attention to detail are essential for this role. With a keen interest in conservation issues, you will be committed to and enthusiastic about FFI’s mission. International experience and good experience working in a similar role are essential.
