15/07/2020
Defra's Darwin Initiative has opened a new funding round for three of its programmes to provide support for developing countries working to conserve biodiversity and reduce poverty.
The Darwin Initiative is funded by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) and was announced at the Rio Earth Summit in 1992. It supports developing countries to conserve biodiversity and reduce poverty and is the UK's primary mechanism to champion biodiversity conservation and support the development of vibrant in-country conservation sectors.
