The foundation is established exclusively for public-benefit purposes. Its purpose is to promote the protection of animals and nature in Switzerland and abroad in general. It is particularly committed to preserving the Earth's biological diversity, protecting the habitats of endangered wildlife, ensuring the sustainable use of natural resources, and reducing environmental pollution. To achieve this, the foundation can also provide financial support to other established non-profit organizations in the field of animal and nature conservation based in Switzerland. The foundation operates on a non-profit basis and does not aim to make a profit. As a secondary purpose, it can also acquire, hold, and sell properties, but the net income from these activities must be used exclusively for the foundation's public-benefit purposes.
