Protecting Biodiversity by Supporting People
This report presents 22 years of results achieved by 2,735 partners that have implemented 2,918 grants. All CEPF grants contribute to one of four categories of impact, known as the pillars of CEPF: biodiversity, civil society, human well-being and enabling conditions.
CEPF is much more than a great partnership of conservation and development organizations. It is the sum of communities, conservationists, scientists, decision-makers and philanthropists who recognize that nature underpins human well-being.
