Honestly speaking, there are millions of people, organizations and programs dedicated to the planet’s conservation efforts. Every single one of those efforts was born from good will and a passion for being part of a solution to help our dear, tired planet revive its resources in order to sustain homes for millions of creatures living in their respective ecosystems.
Question:
Do we exist for Earth, or does Earth exist for us?
The answer, perhaps, lies in both. As inhabitants of this remarkable planet, we have undoubtedly taken much from it. Yet, amidst our consumption, there lies an opportunity for reciprocity — a chance to give back to the very Earth that sustains us.
At Silver Branch, our two founders are a dynamic and passionate duo united by a common vision: the conservation of biodiversity and ecosystems.
Mohamed Khashoggi is a prominent businessman, philanthropist, and historian deeply committed to wildlife conservation.
In his roles as Head of the Global Development Council and Board Director at the Clouded Leopard Association of Taiwan, Founding Member of the Indian Ocean Tortoise Alliance, and representative of Panthera in Taiwan, he champions initiatives aimed at safeguarding endangered species and their habitats.

Torsten Jungner has been a businessman since childhood, with a profound love for nature, wildlife, and a strong commitment to environmental stewardship.
For over two decades, he has dedicated his career to sustainability, holding board and equity positions in sustainable food production and construction materials. He currently chairs one of Asia's largest eco-regions, pioneering sustainable economic development models in environmentally sensitive areas. His work benefits all stakeholders, particularly the local communities in one of Asia's poorest regions.
The wild world of conservation offers thousands of opportunities to “invest” in the planet’s wellbeing. We are humbled by the success of many of these programs.
Silver Branch chooses to support projects where we have ongoing professional relationships with the extraordinary people who implement our combined vision.
Our founders come from different backgrounds: historians, business folk, seafarers, political consultants and artists. Collectively our interest in contributing solutions to is a blend of passion, intellectual curiosity and committed resources.

As we embark on our journey, we recognize the importance of learning and strategic resource deployment. While academic findings guide us, practical wisdom is invaluable. Though our efforts may begin modestly, the potential outcomes are monumental.
Many of our projects operate under the radar, often at their inception stages, drawn by their potential to uniquely impact ecosystems. Take, for instance, our involvement in reintroducing Clouded Leopards to their natural habitats after being declared extinct and our establishment of assurance colonies for the Aldabra Tortoise, a vital eco-engineer at risk of extinction due to natural disasters. These endeavors underscore our commitment to preserving invaluable species with significant conservation value.
