Funders hold a pivotal role in shaping the future of conservation. By rethinking how proposals are evaluated, partnerships are nurtured, and programmes are supported, they can champion participatory, rights-based approaches that lead to enduring results.
This handbook provides a comprehensive set of recommendations to help embed these principles into funding practices and processes. Developed in collaboration with conservation practitioners, anthropologists, and forward-thinking funders, it offers actionable insights and strategies to support funding models that create resilient outcomes for both people and nature.
