The Program on Global Security and Sustainability seeks to protect the security and well-being of people and the environment around the world. To meet these broad objectives, the international program focuses on several areas of concern. The Foundation works to encourage peace within and among countries, conserve global biological diversity, support responsible reproductive choices and reduction of maternal mortality, and protect human rights and strengthen the system of international justice. The Foundation funds work in about 60 countries, with special emphasis on four important countries in different regions of the world: India, Mexico, Nigeria, and Russia.

The major thematic areas that fall under this Program include:

• Conservation and Sustainable Development

Please note that the only subtheme accepting proposals for March 1, 2009 is the Northern Andes Initiative.
