The Eden Project's mission is to:
* Connect people with the natural world
* Educate people about the importance of the environment
* Inspire people to take action to protect the planet
The Eden Project's work is based on three core principles:
* Education: The Eden Project provides education programmes for people of all ages, from school children to adults. These programmes cover a range of topics, including climate change, biodiversity, and sustainable living.
* Research: The Eden Project conducts research on a variety of topics related to the environment. This research helps to inform the Eden Project's educational programmes and its work with policy-makers and businesses.
* Conservation: The Eden Project works to conserve plant species and habitats. The Eden Project has a number of conservation projects around the world, including a project to protect rainforest in Brazil.
The Eden Project is funded by a variety of sources, including:
* Ticket sales from visitors to the Eden Project in Cornwall
* Donations from individuals and businesses
* Grants from government and other organisations
* Sponsorship from businesses
The Eden Project is a successful example of how a visitor attraction and educational centre can be used to raise awareness of environmental issues and inspire people to take action. The Eden Project has welcomed over 20 million visitors since it opened in 2001, and its educational programmes have reached over 1 million people. The Eden Project has also been awarded numerous awards for its work, including the United Nations Environment Programme's Global 500 Award.
