Our Vision
We share the vision of a Mediterranean region where cultural practices and cultural landscapes contribute effectively to conserving biodiversity and maintaining the wellbeing of communities.
Our mission is to recognise, promote and sustain practices that maintain these landscapes, underpinned by our belief that nature and culture are profoundly interconnected and together deliver environmental, social and economic benefits to society.

Our Story
We joined forces in 2021 to support the conservation of Mediterranean cultural landscapes after seeing the benefits it has for the ecosystem and biodiversity, and for the people who live and work sustainably on our project sites.
Funded by the MAVA Foundation to implement the M6 action plan on promoting sustainable land-use practices our partners have been working since 2017 to deliver better economic and environmental outcomes for sustainable producers. Through the Alliance of Mediterranean Nature & Culture (AMNC) we are continuing a legacy that launched with the Mediterranean Consortium for Nature and Culture in 2013, and continuing the success of the Rooted Everyday awareness campaign.
The Alliance is a big step towards strengthening an effective partnership that will be able to continue its work in the long-term by scaling up its membership, impact and international collaboration and recognition.
