Projects

Ministries have come together to support the project and its goals. Through this cooperation and strong interest from the president, the project will safeguard Madagascar’s marine resources into the future. The project works on tripling the number of Marine Protected Areas and strengthening their management.

WWF’s Wildlife Adaptation Innovation Fund supports the testing of new ideas that have potential to reduce the vulnerability of wildlife to changes in climate through on-the-ground projects. Successes and lessons learned from these pilot projects provide useful guidance that move conservation beyond business-as-usual approaches and successful efforts can be replicated or taken to scale to help wildlife endure under conditions of rapid change. Projects piloted through this fund must meet the following criteria:

• Address climate vulnerability of one or more target species through interventions that directly support those species or help communities adapt to change and thus reduce pressure on target species.
• Be implemented in one year or less with plans to monitor results in following years.
• Focus on on-the-ground project implementation of a project rather than research.

In partnership with Conservation International, and part of the broader Coastal Fisheries Initiative (CFI) Program, this project protects Indonesia’s coastal fisheries from overfishing, destructive fishing practices, and damaging terrestrial practices.

In partnership with Conservation International, this project is located in Costa Rica, Colombia, Ecuador, and Panama.

To protect this area’s valuable resources from land degradation, the project has brought together four technical ministries for the first time; the Ministry of Agriculture Development; Ministry of Forests and Soil Conservation; Ministry of Land Reform and Management; WWF-Nepal.
