Finance Resources (FIRE) for Biodiversity

FIRE is envisioned to be a comprehensive database that serves principally all kind of biodiversity projects (private, public or by civil society) to identify additional funding possibilities (both refundable and non-refundable). Given the large numbers of grants, loans, equity investments and guarantee opportunities that exist, it is complex for resource seekers to identify the right funding opportunities matching with their activities and their needs. FIRE therefore is an attempt of building a one stop-shop, where a project owner could find in one place a multitude of different opportunities matching with his/her specific project’s criteria (as targeted country, range of funding, nature of the entity, etc.). Additionally, the database deepens our understanding of current biodiversity finance flows.
