Faya Foundation was featured in Bloomberg Businessweek for its support of Mark Shuttleworth’s sustainable tourism vision for São Tomé and Príncipe.
For decades, conservation on small islands like Príncipe has faced a persistent tension. The communities living closest to the natural systems that need protection are rarely the ones who benefit most from that protection.
In February 2026, something happened on Príncipe Island that had never happened before. For the first time, residents received a direct financial payment in recognition of their care for the natural world around them.
