Mountains of Central Asia Ecosystem Profile Visual Summary
The Critical Ecosystem Partnership Fund (CEPF) empowers people to be good stewards of the planet, so they and future generations continue to benefit from its life-sustaining resources, such as clean air, fresh water, a stable climate and healthy soils. The Fund is a joint program of l'Agence Française de Développement, Conservation International, the European Union, the Global Environment Facility, the Government of Japan, the MacArthur Foundation and the World Bank. The partners believe that civil society is uniquely positioned to protect some of Earth’s most biologically rich yet threatened ecosystems. CEPF provides grants to nongovernmental and private sector organizations, communities and individuals so they can conserve these critical ecosystems, located in biodiversity hotspots. The investments are even more meaningful because these regions are home to millions of people who are impoverished and highly dependent on natural resources. Enabling civil society groups to have stronger voices and exert greater influence in the world around them is the hallmark of our approach. Our grantee partners range from small farming cooperatives and community associations to private sector partners, and national and international nongovernmental organizations.
