Conservation Trust Funds as one way of safeguarding high biodiversity areas – what is innovative about the Legacy Landscapes Fund

Why attend
The “Legacy Landscapes Fund” (LLF) is a public-private initiative contributing to the financing and safeguarding of high biodiversity areas. Join the partners BMZ, AFD, KfW and IUCN to discuss what is needed to close the global funding gap for halting biodiversity loss. And find out how the LLF as new instrument can effectively contribute.
HideDescription
As a new instrument, we introduce the LLF that aims to conserve biodiversity and integrity of outstanding areas for future generations. The fund seeks to obtain funding from both public and philanthropic sources. It finances long-lasting partnerships between experienced NGOs, protected area authorities and indigenous and local communities to efficiently conserve and manage protected areas, their buffer zones, and adjacent key areas under sustainable management. The session will elaborate on how to close the global funding gap and how a partnership model, vision for perpetuity and flexible mechanism for innovative conservation financing may add a new dimension to nature protection. Two panels bring together donors, implementing NGOs, and park management authorities to discuss how long-term and flexible financing can best meet on-the ground needs. And how it may enhance the resilience against external shocks to secure long-term protection of landscapes and their ecosystem services.
