The environment

Baron Benjamin de Rothschild is at heart an explorer with a profound respect for the environment. He inherited this from his grandfather, Baron Maurice, who went on dangerous scientific adventures at the beginning of the 20th century through out, unexplored regions in Africa.

The active support given by the Edmond et Benjamin de Rothschild Fundations to the Peace Parks foundation perpetuates this attachment to Africa and seeks to preserve biodiversity while encouraging socio-economic development.

The support given to the International Polar foundation has a scientific bias which also seeks to heighten awareness of the impact of climate change in the Polar Regions.

And Ariane and Benjamin de Rothschild's strong attachment to sustainable development colours all their activities. This is why they have called on the expertise provided by BeCitizen, a leading environmental strategy consulting firm. The Edmond de Rothschild Group offers some of the largest environmental funds in the world.
