Designed with the Planet in Mind
Giving back to the planet that makes 42 Birds possible is at the heart of everything we do – and we couldn’t do it without you. As a proud member of 1% for the Planet, we commit at least one percent of our annual sales to certified environmental organizations working to protect and preserve our world.
Below you’ll find a list of our Supported Environmental Partners.
National Park Foundation
The official charitable partner of the National Park Service, the National Park Foundation protects more than 84 million acres of national park land. Through conservation, preservation, and education, the Foundation helps ensure America’s natural landscapes and cultural heritage are protected for future generations.
World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF)
WWF works to conserve nature and reduce the most pressing threats to the diversity of life on Earth. Its people-centered approach focuses on six critical areas—forests, oceans, freshwater, wildlife, food, and climate—supporting vulnerable ecosystems and communities worldwide.
Cork Forest Conservation Alliance
Founded in 2008, the Cork Forest Conservation Alliance leads cork recycling efforts in the U.S. and Canada while educating the public about Mediterranean cork forests—one of the world’s most sustainable ecosystems. Their work helps protect biodiversity, prevent desertification, and support traditional forest communities.
National Audubon Society
Audubon protects birds and the places they need across the Americas. Using science, advocacy, education, and on-the-ground conservation, Audubon works to safeguard ecosystems that support both wildlife and people.
The Gabby Wild Foundation
The Gabby Wild Foundation is dedicated to protecting vulnerable wild animals through veterinary medicine, conservation initiatives, and educational outreach, supporting both immediate animal care and long-term wildlife protection.
World Central Kitchen
Founded by Chef José Andrés, World Central Kitchen provides fresh, nourishing meals to communities impacted by crises. By partnering with local cooks and suppliers, WCK delivers immediate relief while strengthening local food systems around the world.
Want to help support the cork forests but don’t know where to start?
The best way to support cork forests is not just by choosing 42 Birds products, but by opting for cork wherever possible. Contrary to a common misconception, there is no cork shortage—in fact, the opposite is true. Cork is one of the few materials with a positive impact on the environment. The more cork that's harvested and used, the more carbon the trees absorb. The real threat to cork forests comes when demand drops and they’re replaced with cheaper, non-natural alternatives.
