The Brazilian Biodiversity Fund (FUNBIO) is a private, non-profit national fund that works in partnership with government agencies, the private sector, academia, and civil society to channel strategic resources toward effective biodiversity conservation initiatives.
Since the beginning of its operations in 1996, FUNBIO has supported more than 700 projects, benefiting over 450 institutions across Brazil.
FUNBIO-supported projects contribute to biodiversity conservation efforts that align with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), Brazil’s Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) under the climate agenda, and the National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan (NBSAP).
In addition, FUNBIO serves as the national implementing agency for the Global Environment Facility (GEF) and the Green Climate Fund (GCF).
