19 Nov. 2019
Projects are funded that support or promote the conservation and sustainable use and management of biodiversity in ecosystems (including agrobiodiversity and agroecological systems).
The operational programs are restricted to in situ conservation activities and the conservation of the genetic variability of wild relatives of domesticated species.
Projects should be located in areas that contain globally significant biodiversity.Does it fall under international treaties, laws, agreements or conventions, such as the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES), IUCN Red Data Book on threatened species, Convention on Wetlands of International Importance Especially as Waterfowl Habitat (Ramsar Convention), Convention Concerning the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage, etc.?
SGP Biodiversity projects are implemented according to the following GEF operational programmes.SGP embodies the very essence of sustainable development. SGP channels financial and technical support directly to NGOs and CBOs for activities that conserve and restore the environment while enhancing people's well-being and livelihoods.
SGP is rooted in the belief that global environmental problems can best be addressed if local people are involved and there are direct community benefits and ownership. SGP is convinced that with small amounts of funding, members of local communities can undertake activities that will make a significant difference in their lives and environments, with global benefits, in contrast with top-down, expert-reliant development interventions.
