The Perfect World Foundation

The Perfect World Foundation is an international non-governmental organisation created to raise awareness and provide support in the fight against the worldwide ecological crisis facing wildlife and the natural environment. Perfect World was founded in 2010 by Ragnhild Jacobsson and Lars Valentin Jacobsson, after supporting wildlife conservation projects privately for many years. Perfect World has a ten-year strategic plan, "The Final Count Down", consisting of ten annual events, commencing in 2020 with the "Climate Aid" event in Gothenburg, Sweden, and counting down to event number one in 2030. The intent of "The Final Count Down" is to develop solutions in the fight against the global wildlife and nature crises.

Perfect World has awarded the Conservationist of the Year award, annually, each year since then.
