Local NGOs have been crucial to the development of impact projects for biodiversity conservation and climate action. However, they have also faced challenges in resource management, such as: the continuity of processes, financing for more than 5 years, and support for holistic interventions addressing biodiversity, climate change and poverty, in competition with other organizations.
These factors have led us to implement strategies such as:
i) expanding our financing portfolio,
ii) involving different industries,
iii) the management of national funds, and
iv) proposing public-private coalitions with the academic and business sectors.
This session will explore the experiences of local NGOs in biodiversity conservation, highlighting both challenges and opportunities.
