People and Planet

peopleandplanet.net "provides a global review and internet gateway into the issues of population, poverty, health, consumption and the environment. It is published by Planet 21, an independent non-profit company and a registered British charity recognised by the United Nations.

"Launched in September 2000, this website replaced People & the Planet, the acclaimed quarterly international magazine. Planet 21 will continue to publish Special Reports on topical themes from time to time. Planet 21 also produces videos and assists in the publication of occasional books.

"The work of peopleandplanet.net reflects the independence and authority of our five major sponsors and associated non-governmental organisations (see Our Partners).

"Our institutional sponsors are the United Nations Population Fund, the World Conservation Union, the World Wide Fund for Nature International, the International Planned Parenthood Federation and the Swedish Development Co-operation Agency.

"Funding support comes from WWF UK, individual donors and carefully monitored advertising. We are especially indebted to the late Dr F.S.Gorbani for her generous support for our advocacy work including women's rights and family planning."
