Our objective is to contribute to the protection of our nature and cultural heritage based on knowledge of the close interaction between people and nature and to advance international cultural cooperation and local sustainable development. Basecamp Foundation USA is a non-profit organization for the benefit of the Basecamp Explorer Foundation, a Norwegian nongovernmental foundation. This foundation conducts its projects in developing countries and focuses on conservancy, climate, culture, education and health. Altogether, we have initiated about 25 individual projects, most of which are still running; others have been completed, or have entered another phase, mostly incorporated into one of today’s projects.
