A commitment guided by Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez Bezos to protect the best planet, Earth, and drive innovations inspired by nature.

The ocean is not just beautiful. It is alive. It helps make this planet breathable. It feeds communities. It holds whale routes, turtle nurseries, coral cities, and deep places we’re still learning to understand. Love the ocean. Then protect it for real. #WorldOceanDay

The endangered okapi can only be found in the wild in one place on Earth: the northeast of the Democratic Republic of Congo, primarily in the Ituri rainforest. Protecting the Congo Basin means protecting some of the planet’s most vulnerable species and the future we all depend on. 🌍 #WildHope

Soil does so much for us, but we’ve mostly been guessing what’s happening under the surface. The Earth Rover Program is helping change that. It’s basically an MRI for the ground beneath our feet. George Monbiot tells the story in his piece for the Guardian: bit.ly/48VR4Ft.

Sharks, whales, and turtles cross oceans to survive – but their journeys are growing more dangerous. 🐋🐢🦈 We’re teaming up with Migramar to protect the waters these species depend on – and help reach the global goal of protecting 30% of Earth by 2030. #30x30

A forest the size of a living room. 🌳 In Elizabeth, NJ, a once-empty lot is now a thriving microforest – and it’s just one of many community-led restoration projects we’ve supported with Groundwork USA to bring nature back to neighborhoods. NYT story → nyti.ms/4mI8bPi.

With support from the @bezosearthfund.org, Fundación Jocotoco is protecting the waters around the Galápagos – stopping illegal fishing and helping endangered species like hammerhead sharks and sea turtles recover. These waters are part of a vital marine corridor worth defending.

Decades of deforestation and drought have drained life from landscapes like this one in Kenya’s Kieni Forest. Now, local communities are bringing it back – reviving the land, restoring water, and building resilience for a changing climate. Learn more: bit.ly/4osazvn

Nature isn’t separate from us. We depend on its balance for food, clean water, and a livable climate. That balance is breaking. We’re backing solutions that regrow what’s been lost, protect what still endures, and rebuild food systems that work with nature – not against it.

If we lose the sharks, the ocean begins to unravel. Many of them migrate across the high seas – the expansive international waters beyond national jurisdiction. To protect the ocean, we have to protect the high seas.
