Summary
Coffee for nature: Restoring Nicaraguan biodiversity through coffee agroforestry Nicaraguan biodiversity and rural livelihoods are threatened by climate change, poverty, and landscape fragmentation. Based on previous research, on-the-ground pilots, and aligned with (inter)national policy, our project will: Use big-data modeling methodology, reproducible throughout Latin America, to provide spatially explicit and time-sensitive guidance on biodiversity status. Open opportunities for smallholder farmers to access, establish, and maintain coffee agroforestry systems through a self-sustaining credit scheme and capacity building. Harness financial resources to promote development and conservation.
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.
