In 2010, Living Earth Foundation launched the pan African Waste to Wealth programme. The project responds to specific challenges faced by poor people living in urban slums in Africa.
The programme encourages all sectors of society to develop collaborative solutions to tackle the challenges of waste management. We support entrepreneurs, micro enterprises, social ventures and community groups to generate an income through waste recycling, and to develop public private partnerships with local government to improve waste collection and waste management in poor slum areas.
Living Earth’s Waste to Wealth programme is funded by the European Union, the UK Government’s Department for International Development and Comic Relief, and is currently active in Cameroon, Nigeria, Uganda and Sierra Leone.

Studies have shown that climate change will cause a shift of climatic zones in the ecosystems of Altai-Sayan, resulting in the migration of animals and plants. In response, a buffer zone of about 600,000 hectares of protected forests has been created between the Western and Eastern part of the region to protect the migration routes of globally threatened species, such as the snow leopard, lynx, European red deer, elk, argali, and more.

Living Earth Foundation worked in Sakhalin Island, Russia from 2005-2010. Sakhalin Island is the site of the world’s largest Liquid Natural Gas (LNG) processing plants. Offshore oil and gas reserves have been developed by a number of multinationals in the sector, including Shell, Gazprom, Sakhalin Energy International Corporation (SEIC) and BP. These developments are significantly affecting local populations of Sakhalin; environmentally, socially and economically. Living Earth has played an integral role in addressing these effects with its partners.
