O Forest Conservation Fund 2026 This represents a unique opportunity for local organizations in Cape Verde dedicated to the protection and sustainable management of their forest ecosystems. This innovative program aims to strengthen the intervention capacity of these entities, recognizing the crucial role they play in preserving biodiversity and promoting community development. Cape Verde, with its unique landscape and fragile ecosystems, faces significant conservation challenges, from desertification to habitat loss, making support for local initiatives more pressing than ever.

Organizations with projects on the ground aimed at reforestation, fire prevention, promoting sustainable agricultural practices that minimize the impact on forest areas, or environmental education and community involvement in conservation activities, are encouraged to apply. The fund offers not only financial support, but also opportunities for capacity building, networking, and sharing best practices with other organizations nationally and internationally. We believe that local knowledge and direct community involvement are key to the long-term success of forest conservation, ensuring that the benefits reach the populations that live in symbiosis with these natural resources.

This specific funding for 2026 seeks to select proposals that demonstrate a measurable impact, a robust sustainability plan, and a strong connection to the needs and aspirations of local communities. Cape Verde's ecological diversity is a heritage that urgently needs protection for future generations, and the Forest Conservation Fund 2026 aims to be a catalyst for this protection, equipping local organizations with the tools and resources necessary to make a difference.
