Partnership also is central to achieving biodiversity conservation. Bringing together the funding and technical expertise of our donors and delivering them to organizations at the local level allows us to efficiently turn those resources into grassroots conservation action where it is needed most. Meanwhile, our grantees collaborate with other local organizations, governments and the private sector, contributing to the larger conservation strategies and robust civil society leadership that can truly move the dial toward a healthy future for us all. Our Work Biodiversity is fundamental to a healthy planet and thriving communities, but the world's species are under tremendous threat.

What makes us unique By supporting the development of conservation strategies driven by local input, and providing grants to civil society —nongovernmental, private sector and academic organizations—to implement those strategies, CEPF seeks to protect biodiversity, build local conservation leadership and nurture sustainable development.
