About Us | FARN

About Us

Established in 1985, FARN has been committed to environmental
protection and the defense of human rights for the past 40 years.

Our Mission

FARN is an independent organization based in Argentina, committed to protecting the environment and defending human rights. Through research, advocacy, strategic litigation and on the ground work with communities, we seek to contribute to society’s well-being and ecological integrity with an intergenerational and gender-responsive approach.

Our Vision

We are driven by the desire to change reality through collective action, toward a future where environmental integrity and human rights are core values.

Our Values

Intellectual honesty and transparency, promoting open and ethical communication.

Collective work, participation, and public engagement in environmental defense.

Scientific and technical integrity, approached through innovation, interdisciplinarity, and participation.

Our Team

More than 30 people work at FARN every day. We are a diverse and multidisciplinary team of professionals dedicated to building a future grounded in environmental protection and human rights.

How are we funded?

FARN is funded by individual donors, foundations, and public agencies, both national and international.

We choose to partner with companies committed to environmental responsibility and refrain from those whose actions could create a conflict of interest with our work and values. FARN does not accept contributions from industries that exploit non-renewable resources.

2025 Annual Report

Each year, FARN produces an annual report highlighting key examples of our impact on public policy, environmental law and communities across Argentina and Latin America. In the midst of this complex year of 2025, full of challenges for environmental organizations, FARN celebrated its 40th anniversary. Through joint work with partner organizations, indigenous and territorial communities, neighborhood associations, and academic leaders, we consolidated what we have built over four decades.

This report summarizes FARN's work during this year. It is also an invitation to collectively sustain, envision, and build environmental justice.
