About Flamingo
Flamingo is a French-Swiss impact start-up dedicated to the preservation of wetlands, including marshes, peatlands, and ponds. Wetlands play a crucial role in climate regulation, biodiversity, and water resilience, yet they continue to disappear at an alarming rate.
Flamingo’s mission is to help the public rediscover these overlooked ecosystems and to finance local wetland protection and restoration projects in France and Switzerland through crowdfunding. The team brings together people committed to nature, science, communication, and practical action.
