As a regional umbrella environmental fund that uses a flexible structure to implement innovative solutions and consolidate resource mobilization through a range of financial instruments. Currently,we have two programs: 1) the Conservation Finance Program, based on an endowment fund, and 2) the Climate Change Program, focused on Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) strategies. A Nature-based Economies program will be coming on board soon which will implement an Advancing Circular Economy Facility.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\"}}]}<\/script>\n                                <\/div>\n    <\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-6379513 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"6379513\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-2bb3648\" data-id=\"2bb3648\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-97fa196 elementor-widget elementor-widget-elementskit-heading\" data-id=\"97fa196\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"elementskit-heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"ekit-wid-con\" ><div class=\"ekit-heading elementskit-section-title-wraper text_left   ekit_heading_tablet-   ekit_heading_mobile-\"><h2 class=\"ekit-heading--title elementskit-section-title \">Photo & Video<\/h2><div class=\"ekit_heading_separetor_wraper ekit_heading_elementskit-border-divider ekit-dotted\"><div class=\"elementskit-border-divider ekit-dotted\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9f1c7a1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-elementskit-accordion\" data-id=\"9f1c7a1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"elementskit-accordion.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"ekit-wid-con\" >\n        <div class=\"elementskit-accordion floating-style\" id=\"accordion-6a44e3bb4373e\">\n\n            \n                <div class=\"elementskit-card active\">\n                    <div class=\"elementskit-card-header\" id=\"primaryHeading-0-9f1c7a1\">\n                        <a href=\"#collapse-d5167b36a44e3bb4373e\" class=\"ekit-accordion--toggler elementskit-btn-link collapsed\" data-ekit-toggle=\"collapse\" data-target=\"#Collapse-d5167b36a44e3bb4373e\" aria-expanded=\"true\" aria-controls=\"Collapse-d5167b36a44e3bb4373e\">\n                                                            <div class=\"ekit_accordion_icon_left_group\">\n                                    <div class=\"ekit_accordion_normal_icon\">\n                                        <!-- Normal Icon -->\n                                        <svg class=\"ekit-svg-icon icon-down-arrow1\" viewBox=\"0 0 32 32\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M31.582 8.495c-0.578-0.613-1.544-0.635-2.153-0.059l-13.43 12.723-13.428-12.723c-0.61-0.578-1.574-0.553-2.153 0.059-0.579 0.611-0.553 1.576 0.058 2.155l14.477 13.715c0.293 0.277 0.67 0.418 1.047 0.418s0.756-0.14 1.048-0.418l14.477-13.715c0.611-0.579 0.637-1.544 0.058-2.155z\"><\/path><\/svg>                                    <\/div>\n\n                                    <div class=\"ekit_accordion_active_icon\">\n                                        <!-- Active Icon -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg class=\"ekit-svg-icon icon-up-arrow1\" viewBox=\"0 0 32 32\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M31.524 22.15l-14.477-13.715c-0.587-0.556-1.509-0.556-2.095 0l-14.477 13.715c-0.611 0.579-0.637 1.544-0.058 2.155 0.579 0.613 1.544 0.637 2.153 0.058l13.428-12.721 13.43 12.721c0.294 0.279 0.67 0.418 1.048 0.418 0.402 0 0.806-0.159 1.105-0.475 0.579-0.611 0.553-1.576-0.058-2.155z\"><\/path><\/svg>                                    <\/div>\n                                <\/div>\n\n                            \n                            <span class=\"ekit-accordion-title\">Can I use a photograph from The Caribbean Biodiversity\u2019s website or magazine?<\/span>\n\n                            \n                                                    <\/a>\n                    <\/div>\n\n                    <div id=\"Collapse-d5167b36a44e3bb4373e\" class=\" show collapse\" aria-labelledby=\"primaryHeading-0-9f1c7a1\" data-parent=\"#accordion-6a44e3bb4373e\">\n\n                        <div class=\"elementskit-card-body ekit-accordion--content\">\n                            <p>The Caribbean Biodiversity Fund does not own the rights to the photography we use in our publications.
