Round 32: Biodiversity conservation and poverty reduction

The Darwin Initiative is a UK Government grants scheme that supports communities to find just, scalable, and sustainable ways to conserve and restore nature while growing their economies and reducing poverty. The intended impact of the Darwin Initiative is that the rates of biodiversity loss and degradation are slowed, halted or reversed, with associated reductions in multidimensional poverty.
