Area-based conservation provides multiple benefits environmentally, socially and economically. To realise and maintain these benefits it is essential for protected and conserved areas to have long-term adequate financing and to leverage diverse finance tools to achieve desired biodiversity outcomes and management objectives - the goal of sustainable finance.听 Historically, area-based conservation remains under-resourced, often overly reliant on a single income source such as donor-funding or government budgets. The development of new, innovative, and resilient sources of finance is critical if area-based conservation such as protected areas (PAs), Other Effective Area-based Conservation Measures (OECMs) and Indigenous and Traditional Territories are to reach their full potential and deliver cross-cutting benefits to people and planet.
Achieving global conservation and sustainable use targets will require a strategic and highly collaborative approach to identify, share, and pioneer finance solutions in an integrated manner across conservation landscapes and seascapes. The purpose of the WCPA Sustainable Finance Specialist Group is to enable and empower area-based conservation actors by developing and sharing knowledge, building awareness and capacity, and promoting innovation in sustainable finance solutions.
