Description
The Critical Ecosystem Partnership Fund, active in the Mediterranean Basin since 2012, has started a new phase of investment for the Mediterranean Basin last year. The new strategy (outlined in the Ecosystem Profile), to which more than 500 experts and organizations of the region contributed, includes for the first time a specific strategic direction on plants.
During this session, representatives from CEPF will introduce to the audience the strategic direction on plants and investment priorities, followed by a series of short presentations from CEPF’s newest grantees to understand the work they will be undertaking throughout the Mediterranean. The session will finish with a plenary discussion about the role of civil society in plant conservation; the benefits of having civil society organisations working in this field, the obstacles to their engagement, and how to get more involved.
The session will be followed by a cocktail event.
