4.2 Long-term resourcing

Securing long-term funding and resources for ongoing management is a critical element in ensuring the sustainability and effectiveness of biodiversity restoration initiatives. Without adequate financial support, many restoration projects struggle to maintain momentum beyond their initial phases, leading to incomplete or failed efforts. Long-term funding is essential not only for implementation but also for ensuring continuous monitoring, adaptive management, and the engagement of local communities. In the face of increasing environmental pressures and climate change, the need for stable and sustainable financing mechanisms has never been more urgent. Various financial tools, including public-private partnerships, biodiversity offsets, conservation trust funds, and green bonds, have been developed to support the long-term sustainability of these projects.
