At COP16, our Executive Director, Dr. Leandra Cho-Ricketts, joined the launch of the publication The Vital Role of Conservation Trust Funds (CTFs) in Implementing the Global Biodiversity Framework! 📑✨
CTFs are crucial in making long-term conservation a reality. Here’s how they’re driving progress to achieve global biodiversity goals:
🌿 Stable Funding: CTFs provide steady financial flows for managing protected areas, even during economic or political changes.
👥 Community Collaboration: By partnering with Indigenous groups and local communities, CTFs support sustainable livelihoods and community-led conservation.
🌊 Marine & Coastal Protection: CTFs fund efforts to protect fragile marine ecosystems, enabling actions like improved fishing practices, reef restoration, and waste management.
🌏 Pandemic Resilience: During crises, CTFs continued funding essential biodiversity work, like supporting rangers and preserving ecosystem services.
CTFs are driving impactful, on-the-ground action for a healthier planet! 🌎💪
