Nature protection organizations worldwide are joining forces in the Union of Nature Foundation (UON) to accelerate nature protection. Together, we bring a singular proposition to the world: the ‘uon’, a unique digital proof of protection of a sustainably protected geocoded unit of nature, registered in your name.
Our goal is to empower the private sector to contribute directly to protecting 50% of the planet together,
by unlocking an additional long-term revenue stream to nature protectors doing the work on the ground (or sea!).
A m² of nature is a simple, tangible, and accessible unit that reduces a global problem to the human scale.
Nature’s value is intrinsic and immeasurable, from carbon sequestration, climate change resilience, biodiversity conservation, to its cultural significance and importance for our health.
Union of Nature issues uon, unique digital proofs of protection of sustainably protected geocoded units of nature, which are registered in your name. Every day, every person can make a difference by protecting nature and collecting uon.
Our trust framework offers our members groundbreaking international business collaboration in an operating model that is governed by a rulebook with predefined roles and responsibilities, and rights and obligations.
We operate not-for-profit.
We bring a singular collaborative product to the world: a sustainably protected geocoded unit of nature, with a uon as a digital proof of protection registered in your name.
Uon.Earth facilitates us with fundraising and platform services to empower companies, charities, and consumers to campaign for nature together.
We have committed ourselves to contribute to the 30×30 and 50×50 goals.
Our members receive revenues for each uon issued. In return, they contractually commit to bring a new unit of nature under protection, on a 1-for-1 basis. This is how we scale.
We are always on the lookout for new nature organizations to include. Have a look at our access criteria to see if your organization is eligible.

The Rulebook is being updated
Where the UON members protect units of nature and UON issues the uon, Uon.Earth solicits direct donations to UON from individuals and organizations globally. For each uon issued, UON donates funds forward to the UON members protecting the units of nature. UON operates not-for-profit.
Uon.Earth operates 100% ‘for-purpose’ and supports UON with an app and a purpose portal to facilitate companies, charities, and individuals to campaign for Earth together. Uon.Earth is not a charity. It receives a success fee from UOn for every donation raised. It is 100% privately funded and 100% community-owned.
Yes, I’m interested and would like to be contacted to learn more.
