Conservation finance got a boost in December when the Global Environmental Facility (made up of 18 agencies) allocated over $8 million to the Coalition for Private Investment in Conservation (CPIC). The Rockefeller Foundation also gave its in-principle support in providing grant funding.
CPIC was set up in 2016 and launched formally in September.
