Greece’s islands host extraordinary biodiversity and cultural heritage, representing an inheritance stretching back thousands of years.

These unique ecosystems face mounting pressures: climate change, tourism impacts, invasive species, and habitat fragmentation. Island conservation requires integrated approaches combining scientific monitoring, habitat restoration, community education, and sustainable tourism practices.

The Hellenic Conservation Fund works with island communities, scientists, and policymakers to develop practical solutions that protect these irreplaceable ecosystems while supporting local livelihoods and traditions.
