We've been doing this since we started in 1983 in Portugal (where A Rocha means 'the rock'). We're motivated by our biblical beliefs that this is God's world, entrusted to our care, and we welcome anybody who cares about the planet to work with us.

Through our projects and our growing national network of A Rocha Friends, we aim to provide information, support and opportunities for everyone to be involved with caring for God's world. From making small changes in our own lifestyle to volunteering at one of A Rocha's practical projects, there is something for each of us to try.
