Rare is a global leader in accelerating social change for people and nature. For 50 years, across 60 countries, we have supported millions of people and thousands of communities to shift their behaviors and practices to protect our shared planet.
Change is what we do. That’s what makes us Rare.
Our Mission
Rare inspires change so people and nature thrive.
Our Vision
We envision a world in which the cumulative power of individual and community action restores and protects the shared waters, lands, and climate on which life depends. We believe everyone can play a role in ensuring a bountiful future for people and nature. And we believe in the power of community to ignite change and drive action for nature.
