We have identified key environmental concerns and human pressures in the Ionian Region:from a dramatic increase in tourist developments and uncontrolled, unplanned construction and the resulting pressures on natural resources; to the threats posed to the Ionian marine ecology from continued oil exploration, overfishing, marine litter, and climate change.

We aim to address the needs of this unique region through an approach of direct action, research, field work, campaigns, capacity building projects and across the following core themes:Marine Conservation; Habitat & Biodiversity Protection;Sustainable Development & Resource Management and Civil Society & Capacity Building. Experience shows that relatively small amounts of funding, strategically directed, can supercharge the work of projects delivering positive environmental change on the ground.
