Summary
Although well-protected forests provide clean water, degraded forests do not. Construction of water access systems that do not consider upstream conservation will result in failure. This project will pilot an innovative financing model for integrated water access and conservation. We will first design the legal and financial pathways to implement a green/grey infrastructure model and persuade municipalities to finance pilots. This will help communities improve their water access to water and simultaneously conserve forests and demonstrate the value of integration.
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.
