Support for Protected Areas (PAs) have been the main focus of the work of FUNBIO the past 18 years. On the one hand, FUNBIO designed financial mechanisms for resource mobilization from different sources and on the other hand has created mechanisms to assure that these resources reach the PAs as goods, services and project support. The event will also discuss what are the key aspects to change PAs situation in Brazil, such as strategic partnerships, enhance management, among others. In this event FUNBIO will pre launch a comprehensive compilation on its experience supporting PAs, highlighting its main results.
