Cambodia supports globally important populations of wide-ranging, large-bodied bird species that are threatened by agricultural intensification and expansion, trade-driven hunting and chick/egg collection at nest sites. To address this problem of escalating biodiversity loss in the Northern Plains and Tonle Sap Lake and Floodplain and encourage community participation, the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) and partners designed a project with three financial incentive schemes.
Home to tigers, elephants and other iconic species, the forests of the Sahyadri-Konkan Corridor (SKC) – one of CEPF’s five priority conservation corridors within the Western Ghats Region of India – are an important source of local livelihoods, with communities dependent on paddy cultivation and fuelwood trade for income. These activities as well as high population densities and rapid economic development have left the SKC fragmented and dominated by private lands and production landscapes.
The Eastern Afromontane biodiversity hotspot stretches over a curving arc of more than 7,000 kilometers from Saudi Arabia to Mozambique. Of the key biodiversity areas (KBAs) in this hotspot, which cover an area of more than 50 million hectares, CEPF identified approximately 5.5 million hectares of priority KBAs for investment. These priority KBAs are important sites for conservation of biodiversity, including globally threatened species and ecosystems providing benefits such as clean air, fresh water and more.
Overview
We envisage a world that has sufficient intact natural ecosystems and wilderness areas that are valued and effectively protected for the benefit of all species.

Cape Mountain zebra, black wildebeest, cheetah and black rhino ― these flagship species are just a few that roam through the grassland habitat between Mountain Zebra National Park and Camdeboo National Park Complex in South Africa’s Eastern Cape Province.
