Our Green Key, Blue Flag and Green Spikes initiatives are known across the world for their promotion of sustainable business practices and the protection of our valuable natural resources. With members in 77 countries we are the world's largest environmental education organisation and through our five programmes we strive to make a difference every day. Recognised by UNESCO and UNEP as a world-leader within the fields of Environmental Education and Education for Sustainable Development, our strength comes from our members who share our conviction and execute our programmes on a daily basis.

Many other campaigns, e.g., "Cambiamenu" ("Change Menu") and "Animal-Free" are conducted with the aim to kick off a change in people's eating and clothing habits, to support and establish rescue centres for animals that have a history of abuse and neglect, as well as, of course, to promote the adoption or sponsorship of the animals in the custody of LAV, to support alternative methods of scientific research, and last but not least, to foster initiatives aimed at peaceful and fair cohabitation with wildlife.
