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 collecting uon and protecting nature.
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.

Our tech partner EarthToday facilitates 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 sold. 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.
