Caucasus Nature Fund (CNF)

The Caucasus Ecoregion is a global lighthouse for harmony between nature and people, with a thriving biodiversity and the region’s varied human cultures living sustainably and in peace. CNF provides sustainable, long-term funding to the protected areas of the South Caucasus. We provide sustainable, long-term funding to selected Protected Areas in Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Georgia designed to improve park management permanently. Working in partnership with the national governments, CNF provides matching grants for operating costs and salary supplements, essential equipment and maintenance. In addition, we support the development of management plans, biodiversity monitoring systems and ecotourism program that support sustainable development and livelihoods in the local communities.
