Conservation needs resources. The survival and well-being of all species require healthy ecosystems, whose conservation depends on long-term, extensive and effective funding. Although the need of sustainable financing for conservation has been recognized worldwide and mechanisms that generate revenues for environmental protection have been created, efforts have not achieved a scale of impact that meets the global conservation funding challenge.

How to promote sustainable financing for conservation worldwide? 
The CFA is a collaborative network that helps to address the challenges of sustainable financing for conservation. Together, governments, multilateral agencies, NGOs, private companies, academic institutions, and independent experts, cooperate to promote conservation finance solutions through exchanging information and expertise.

The CFA enters a new cycle. Under new leadership on 2010, the CFA is reaching out to former and new members to boost its activities. This website is the gateway to freshly updated contents and discussions about conservation finance. If you think you can bring contributions to the CFA, or have any inquiries about our network, please do not hesitate contacting us.
