Why

Tuscany is world-famous for its breathtaking hills, rich biodiversity and beautiful coastline. But this idyllic landscape is under immense pressure from climate change, intensive agriculture, biodiversity loss and overtourism. The Tuscany Environment Foundation tackles these urgent challenges by supporting the people and local organisations who know Tuscany’s natural environment inside out and work every day to protect it.
