The Critical Ecosystem Partnership Fund (CEPF) will soon begin planning a new multi-million-dollar round of funding for conservation of the Mediterranean Basin biodiversity hotspot following a January 20, 2016, decision by the CEPF Donor Council.
The Mountains of Central Asia biodiversity hotspot, which includes portions of seven countries and is host to very high levels of plant and animal diversity and endemism, will be the beneficiary of millions of dollars in grant funding for conservation from the Critical Ecosystem Partnership Fund (CEPF).
