Nature. Climate. People.
RELEX Foundation
Our MissionDiverse nature and a stable climate are the foundation for all life to thrive. A good society within these boundaries is possible. The people building it are already out there. We protect ecosystems, direct capital toward nature, and back the people closest to the work as they lead it. Our job is to help them succeed.

The people who live closest to Africa’s wildlife tend to understand it best, yet the funding, recognition, and support tend to flow elsewhere. Maliasili exists to change that, helping community-led organisations get the resources and structure to match what they already know.
