The Latin America and Caribbean Network of Environmental Funds – RedLAC – was created in 1999 and currently includes 22 funds from 16 countries. Its mission is to set up an effective system of learning, capacity building and cooperation through a Network of Environmental Funds (EFs) aimed at contributing to the conservation and sustainable use of natural resources in the region.
This project, coordinated by the Brazilian Biodiversity Fund – Funbio – on behalf of the RedLAC membership, has the goal of promoting the implementation of new revenue streams for the Funds’ portfolios, creating financially sustainable sources of funding for these institutions to invest in conservation. Having knowledge management as its core, the project will systematize the existing information on different topics of interest for EFs and build new content based on the collective experience of the Funds’ community.
