Imagine a Caribbean region where both its natural environment and people thrive. That’s the Caribbean Biodiversity Fund’s (CBF) vision for the region.

The CBF is a regional umbrella environmental fund that uses a flexible structure to implement innovative solutions and consolidate resource mobilization in the Caribbean through a range of financial instruments. As the organization celebrates its 10-year anniversary, former CEO Yabanex Batista and current CEO Karen McDonald Gayle discuss the organization’s contribution to regional conservation efforts over the past decade and what can be expected in future.
