Saving Wildlife

Camilla of Bourbon Charity Foundation

While offering immense resources, producing 50 % of the oxygen we breathe and absorbing 25 % of the world’s green gas emissions, our oceans are threatened by pressures from climate change, pollution, plastics and overfishing.

Today, based on the marine gross product, the ocean is the 7th largest economy in the world and the overall estimated value of key ocean assets represents more than 24 trillion USD.

Yet, only 4% of the global ocean enjoy protected status. Besides, if current fishing rates continue, the world’s fisheries will collapse by 2048 and at current rates of temperature rise, coral reefs will disappear by 2050. Emblematic marine species are also threatened with extinction, such as sharks with one hundred million kills every year.

The persistence of pollution caused by plastic means that its presence at sea is one of the greatest environmental disasters for our future. Once discarded into the natural environment, plastic can take up to 500 years to disappear. Under the effect of the sun, it breaks into fragments and generates a sort of “plastic soup”. Accumulating on the seabed, it contributes to oxygen depletion. Drifting between waters, it can suffocate the fauna which ingest it or get trapped. Becoming part of the food chain, it poses a serious public health issue. By fragmenting, the material become invisible but its presence is still harmful.

Facing this major, the Foundation is engaged at different levels to stem the entrance of plastic in the sea.

Facing this global challenges and these major threats for the environment, the Princess Camilla of Bourbon Charitable Foundation is taking action to curve the trend and promote a sustainable ocean to create a new alliance between humanity and the ocean – alone capable of guaranteeing our future.

Planting Trees

Reforestation is the process of replanting trees in order to maintain healthy forests for generations to come.

Here the main advantages of reforestation:

  • Reforestation has about a 90 percent success rate due to careful selection and planning efforts.
  • Foresters work to maintain a healthy and diverse population of trees to sustain diverse wildlife and overall forest health.
  • Reforestation helps ensure future healthy forests that supply wood products, clean air, water, wildlife habitat and jobs in our communities.
  • Reforestation combats climate change by increasing carbon storage.

Saving Forest

Today forests are disappearing from the face of the globe. Despite growing international concern, forests continue to be destroyed at a pace exceeding 80,000 acres (32,000 hectares) per day. Much of the remaining area is impacted by human activities and no longer retains its full original biodiversity.

Deforestation of forests has a global impact through species extinction, the loss of important ecosystem services and renewable resources, and the reduction of carbon sinks. However, this destruction can be slowed, stopped, and in some cases even reversed.

The solution must be based on what is feasible, not overly idealistic, and depends on developing a conservation approach built on the principle of sustainable use and development of forests. Beyond the responsible development of forests, efforts to rehabilitate and restore degraded forest lands along with the establishment of protected areas are key to securing forests for the long-term benefits they can provide mankind.

Fresh Air

Around 6.5 million premature deaths worldwide are attributed each year to poor air quality, making this the world’s fourth-largest threat to human health after high blood pressure, dietary risks and smoking.

The Foundation undertakes educational initiatives in order teach children and adolescents about the wealth of our planet’s biodiversity, to stimulate their scientific curiosity and develop their knowledge. The youth acquires the potential to become agents of change and to improve its living environment.

The Foundation’s involvement is crystallized through projects and initiatives whose aim is to promote education for sustainable development and to raise awareness of young people all over the world about the importance of climate change.

These programs aim to gain a greater understanding of the impact of the current climatic and human-induced disturbances, marine and terrestrial ecosystems and geosystems.
