Fauna & Flora

Fauna & Flora is a UK-based global conservation organisation working closely with local partners to protect threatened species and ecosystems and restore critical habitats.  

The world’s marine ecosystems face mounting pressures from overfishing and climate change, degrading habitats and endangering countless species. With nearly 90% of fish stocks now fully exploited or overfished and biodiversity declining at an alarming rate, stronger and more widespread ocean conservation efforts are urgently needed.

The ERF grant is providing flexible support for Fauna & Flora’s expanding marine conservation portfolio, which currently spans 19 countries. It will help the organisation strengthen community-led marine management, safeguard key species and seascapes, and address wider threats through improved policy and practice. The funding will support site-based marine conservation in 10 geographies across their current portfolio, reinforce local leadership, and underpin long-term ecological recovery. This will contribute to Fauna & Flora’s goal to double its impact by 2030, and to its global commitments such as the 30×30 target, which aims to secure 30% of land and sea under effective protection by 2030.
