Improving mangrove conservation across the Eastern Tropical Pacific Seascape (ETPS)

About this program

The World Wildlife Fund (WWF), in partnership with Conservation International, is offering a GEF-funded grant totaling $1,900,810 to support mangrove conservation across Costa Rica, Colombia, Ecuador, and Panama. The project focuses on implementing coordinated regional and national strategies to protect 736,000 hectares of mangroves, addressing threats like coastal development, aquaculture, and logging. While specific eligibility criteria are not provided, the initiative aligns with local governments' commitments to ridge-to-reef mangrove management and seeks to enhance national policies and plans for sustainable conservation.
