Funbio was created in 1995 with a GEF grant of 20 million dollars. Its creation was derived from the Brazilian government strategy to implement the Convention of Biological Diversity (CBD) signed in the Rio 92 summit.

Created as a sinking fund, the GEF contract set goals for Funbio, such as having a professional external asset manager, capable of performing a minimum average yield of 6,5% yearly; raising a minimum amount of 5 million dollars in the first five years of operation; besides overall quality performance.

Funbio operated according to these conditions from 1996 to 2000, having launched three different programs and supported 62 projects distributed by all national biomes. Funbio hosted yearly missions of appraisal and went through a midterm review without facing any problem in any of these inspections.

ARPA – Amazon Region Protected Areas program is currently the largest tropical forest conservation program in the globe. Its goal is to protect 10% of the Brazilian Amazon region, which means almost 60 million hectares in Protected Areas (PAs). This federal government program was financed by the GEF (through the World Bank), WWF, KfW, and two Brazilian private companies, with investments of about 75 million dollars in its first phase (until 2009). Funbio was selected by ARPA’s donors to be responsible for: financial management, procurement services, asset management, community development subprojects and to studies on alternative conservation financial mechanisms for the long term sustainability of the protected areas included in the program.
