Emergency funding for nature at times of crisis
Many of the world’s disasters occur without warning. Such events can have devastating and irreversible consequences for natural habitats and species, if there is not swift action.
The Rapid Response Facility (RRF) plays an essential role in reducing the impact of such disasters, by providing rapid relief to some of the world’s most exceptional sites when it’s needed most.
Foundations for change
The RRF’s inputs to projects are one-off and short-term, but by intervening at the point of acute crisis we are able to avert permanent catastrophic damage to some of the world’s most valuable natural sites.
The support we give is recognised as often laying the foundations for lasting change, for example through fostering new collaborations, providing vital equipment, developing skills or experience, or catalysing better planning or procedures for future emergencies
Our global impact
