About Rare
Rare inspires change so people and nature thrive. For over 45 years, across 60 countries, we have inspired and empowered millions of people and their communities to shift their behaviors and practices to protect our shared planet. We are a global leader in driving social change for people and nature. We facilitate solutions that help individuals, their communities, and their local leaders tackle global environmental challenges, manage their resources, and take charge of their futures.
Rare’s organizational culture is results-oriented, entrepreneurial, and defined by our five core values: Courage to Take Risks, Commitment to Accountability, Mindset of Solutionology, Investments in People, and Spirit of Celebration.
Rare is growing and expanding its impact through a range of exciting programs, including Fish Forever – a global initiative to restore near-shore fisheries in the tropics. Fish Forever is Rare’s largest and most mature program, supported by a diverse portfolio of donors that fund work in eight countries. While country programs are at different stages of maturity, each one is positioned to advance the adoption of community-based protection and management of coastal waters, anchored on networks of Managed Access + Reserves (MA+R), where no-take reserves where habitat and fish can recover are paired with areas where fishing is regulated to ensure sustainability. These MA+R networks need to be legal and functional in order to be effective and sustainable, so a pathway for enabling policy needs to be identified and pursued in each country we operate in. Policy is also critical for enabling the adoption of critical behaviors for success, such as fisher registration and catch reporting, as well as laying the foundations for sustained financing and institutional uptake by national and local governments.
