About this grant

The Natural Areas (Áreas Naturais) programme of Fundação Grupo Boticário de Proteção à Natureza supports the implementation and creation of new Conservation Units (Unidades de Conservação – UCs) to protect ecosystems and their species in full, while also contributing to mitigating the effects of climate change. The foundation believes that Conservation Units can contribute to water security and coastal-marine resilience. Since its founding, the Fundação has supported over 1,700 initiatives across all Brazilian biomes, preserving 580 conservation units. The programme is part of a broader set of environmental conservation efforts that include climate adaptation, ocean and coastal resilience, water security, and nature-based solutions.
