Biodiversity degradation is reaching unprecedented rates, and biodiversity conservation and restoration efforts are often underfunded leading to negative impacts on the environment and those living in biodiversity rich areas. “Biocredits” are an emerging approach to finance biodiversity that benefits Indigenous People and Local Communities. Darwin BIO will pilot biocredit schemes in the Northern Albertine Rift (Uganda) and the Tondwa Game Management Area (Zambia) for the sale of credits to finance community led conservation, reducing poverty and protecting and restoring biodiversity.
Darwin Initiative Round 32 is now open for applications! A new round of funding to support ambitious projects delivering impact for biodiversity and communities.
From scaling successful approaches to strengthening locally led conservation, explore key lessons shared by projects working on the front line of biodiversity action.
