Our story began in a small village in Bangladesh in 1972. 50 years later, BRAC is the largest NGO in the world with roots and origins in the global south. What began as relief work, deepened and broadened into long-term investment in human potential. We partner with more than 100 million people across the world. Our story is crafted with and by our participants, clients, artisans, community leaders. Each of them overcoming odds - inequality, poverty, disease, illiteracy - that often seem insurmountable.
We are experiencing a dangerous decline in nature: One million species are threatened with extinction, soils are turning infertile and water sources are drying up. (www.decadeonrestoration.org) But there are glimmers of hope: So-called Small Island Developing States are among the most impacted by the climate crisis. The countries of St. Lucia, Comoros and Vanuatu are teaming up and turning a threat into a fresh start. They call themselves Big Ocean States. The Small Islands Developing States Ecosystem Restoration Flagship has been recognized as a World Restoration Flagship under the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration. These initiatives represent Earth's frontiers of hope, as countries agreed to a new Global Biodiversity Framework. Under the agreement, countries promise to protect 30% of the planet's lands and seas, and bringing back 20% from degradation.
