A Rocha International

About us

A Rocha International is a global family of Christian organizations which, inspired by God’s love, engages in scientific research, environmental education and community-based conservation projects in more than 20 countries and across six continents.

We respond to the global crisis of biodiversity loss by carrying out community-based conservation projects, through:
- ecological monitoring and research in areas of high value for wildlife;
- practical measures for conserving and restoring habitats and their fauna and flora;
- participation in nature conservation, through environmental education and community outreach;
- providing a forum for understanding the relevance of the Christian faith to environmental issues.

Our name means ‘The Rock’ in Portuguese (as our first initiative was a field study centre in Portugal). We are present in more than 20 countries around the world.
