“We need more of such courses to open our eyes on conservation matters.” Elizabeth Atieno, Tsavo Trust, Kenya

I have just returned from COP16 in Cali with mixed emotions of pride in how far we have come and an urgency to move even farther. If you remember, I attended the 15th COP in 2022 held in Montreal and I shared with you the seven things that CSF can contribute to the Global Biodiversity Framework, and more specifically on which targets we could apply our economic tools and capacity building expertise.

At COP16 in Cali, Colombia, Conservation Strategy Fund and the Humboldt Institute joined forces to present innovative financial instruments that promote, in a sustainable manner, the conservation of nature and strengthen the fundamental role of indigenous peoples in the protection of the region's ecosystems. The green zone of the COP in Colombia was the space where Alfonso Malky, Director for Latin America, and Pedro Gasparinetti, Director of Innovation, presented CSF's proposals for the sustainability of sensitive ecosystems and the indigenous communities that inhabit them.

​Iniciamos un nuevo curso de “Sostenibilidad Financiera de Áreas Protegidas”

The Passport for Conservation invites you to explore our National Protected Areas with unlimited access for one year. By purchasing it, you will not only have the opportunity to discover breathtaking landscapes and invaluable biodiversity, but you will also be contributing directly to the conservation of these essential spaces.

Course participants from CSF's "Strategies for Effective Nature-Based Tourism" represented 21 organizations from 9 African countries. 

Since we launched our programs in Indonesia in 2015, demand continues to grow for CSF’s unique approach to training and capacity building.

CSF was present at the “Workshop to present the proposed indicators in the forestry sector to measure progress in Bolivia's NDC”. Last Friday, July 12, in the city of La Paz, the Autoridad Plurinacional de la Madre Tierra (APMT) organized the workshop on the Presentation of Proposed Indicators in the Forestry Sector to Measure Progress in Bolivia's Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC).

Las áreas protegidas desempeñan un papel fundamental en la conservación de la biodiversidad, la protección de los bosques y la provisión de funciones ambientales esenciales para las comunidades locales y la población boliviana en general. Sin embargo, gestionar estos espacios únicos y diversos puede ser una tarea ardua que, a menudo, requiere soluciones financieras innovadoras.
