The call seeks to support community-based organizations (CBOs), non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and private individuals to directly access the multi-year financial resources needed to carry out conservation actions that lead to the creation, management, and/or expansion of subnational protected areas in priority areas for bird conservation. The call is led by Profonananpe, with the support of Ecosistemas Andinos (ECOAN).
