The Conclusion of GVI's Journey

For nearly three decades, GVI has been far more than just an organisation. It has been a global family with a shared vision, dedicated to making a sustainable difference in our world.

It is with an incredibly heavy heart that I write to share that GVI is today closing its doors.

This is a deeply sad conclusion to a remarkable journey, but as we navigate this final chapter, we look back with immense pride and gratitude for everything we achieved together.

Because of our passionate participants, dedicated staff, local communities, and global partners, the legacy of GVI is permanently written into conservation and community development success stories around the world. Over the last 28 years, we successfully supported critical wildlife and marine conservation projects to safeguard endangered ecosystems, partnered with local communities through collaborative education and sustainable livelihood initiatives, and welcomed an incredible network of alumni who continue to advocate for our planet.

GVI may be coming to an end, but the impact we have built together on the ground is too important to let go.

Because of this, our hope is that the conservation and community initiatives continue. While the journey will look different in the future, our personal dedication to supporting our on-the-ground partners remains unchanged, and it is my sincere wish that our global community will continue to carry that flame forward.

I deeply regret the effect that GVI’s closure will have on staff, projects and customers, and we are committed to providing clear information to those affected as GVI goes through a formal liquidation process.

Thank you for your passion, your hard work, your grit, and your unwavering belief in a better world. It has been the privilege of a lifetime to journey with you.

With my deepest gratitude,

Andrew
