Expanding financing for biodiversity conservation : experiences from Latin America and the Caribbean

Abstract

As one of the major funders of biodiversity and sustainable natural resources management, the World Bank is ready to provide its convening power, global knowledge and financial support to build partnerships and mobilize long-term funding for biodiversity conservation. We see this as a priority for building healthy and resilient communities who rely on clean air, water, land and oceans. We hope that by highlighting how sustainable management of natural capital is possible, the cases presented here serve as an inspiration for others to pursue a greener, more inclusive growth.
