CEPF unites seven global leaders under a common vision: conserving biodiversity of the world’s biodiversity hotspots by empowering civil society. Our donors recognize that protecting the hotspots by supporting local organizations builds lasting conservation that benefits people in the hotspots and around the globe.
We are grateful to our donors, who have each invested their time and expertise, as well as millions of dollars, to implement CEPF's conservation strategies around the world. Without their commitment, the achievements of CEPF’s grantees would not be possible.
