The Cambridge Conservation Initiative (CCI) is a unique partnership between leaders in biodiversity conservation and restoration from across the University of Cambridge and ten internationally renowned conservation organisations (BirdLife International, British Trust for Ornithology, Cambridge Conservation Forum, Fauna & Flora, International Union for the Conservation of Nature, Royal Society for the Protection of Birds, Traffic International, Tropical Biology Association, Wildlife Conservation Society and the United Nations Environment Programme-World Conservation Monitoring Centre). CCI partners work together and with others to conserve and restore life on Earth, towards a diverse world in which nature and people thrive.
