Frieze New York Projects
Three inspirational projects. Learn more about them, choose your favourite, and support them directly.
Forest conservation for biodiversity and climate with Art into Acres
This project supports the conservation of 53,375 acres (21,600 hectares) of old-growth forest. The biodiverse landscape is a migration corridor and home to the Mountain tapir, Spectacled Bear, Bush Dog, Mountain Paca and Stumped Tailed Porcupine. In collaboration with Art to Acres, the funds raised will support local communities in conserving the lands on which they have historically lived. Art to Acres is an artist-founded, non-profit environmental initiative that partners with the cultural community for intersectional conversation and large-scale land conservation support. To date, the initiative has supported 32 million acres of new locally-led permanent protected areas and 814,203,000 tonnes of protected underground carbon.
Wetland conservation in New York with Natural Areas Conservancy
Natural Areas Conservancy champions urban natural areas in New York City and across America through innovative research, partnerships, and advocacy. NAC increases the health and resilience of urban forests and wetlands, catalyses connections between people and nature, and strengthens the environmental workforce.
Solar energy in sub-Saharan Africa with SolarAid
Sunshine is in abundance in Africa but when the sun goes down the working day ends for millions of people. For millions of others the only option is to ignite kerosene lamps and paraffin candles, which emit toxic fumes into their lungs and into the earth’s atmosphere. SolarAid is working to deliver clean, safe, and affordable solar lights to rural communities across sub-Saharan Africa, reaching the places no one else goes to.
Inspiration for a sustainable life
Let’s talk soil
We take a closer look at the vital importance of the soil beneath our feet.
It’s one of the most underrated features of our natural world: 95% of food production depends on it, it’s a key player in flood prevention, and it even helps mitigate climate change. Yet soil is under siege on all fronts, from pesticides to artificial lawns.
For green-fingered readers, the fact that soil is home to a vibrant range of creatures will come as no surprise. But beyond the earthworms and insects in your vegetable patch, there’s a lot going on beneath the surface that’s not always visible to the naked eye.
