Working at the crossroads of nature and culture

Towards a sustainable future for the Mediterranean

At a time when climate change, poverty and inequality afflict our societies, MedINA works closely with people at all levels striving to create the kind of world that is good and equitable both now and in the future, promoting community empowerment, environmental protection and cultural diversity. 

Our mission is to inspire people to recognize the value and connection between our natural and cultural heritage, and to work towards a just and sustainable future through research, working with communities, the exchange of ideas and knowledge, and networking. 

Established in 2003, our work seeks a balance between inclusive human development and the conservation and wise use of the planet’s resources and ecosystems. Only when human communities become allies in this process and stewards of their own natural and cultural environment can real, sustainable progress be made.

Our main geographical focus is the Mediterranean region and our multidisciplinary team has worked in Albania, Cyprus, Greece, Tunisia as well as in projects and initiatives with an international scope.
