Ecological Corridor Fund established in the Caucasus



The cooperation of German government and WWF in the Caucasus is already
spanning for 15 productive years. The first milestone in this work was
achieved by establishing the Borjomi-Kharagauli National Park - a first
protected area in the Caucasus corresponding to the international standards.



The following significant achievement of the cooperation was practical -
"in-the-field"- application of regional approach to the nature conservation.
On this important road following pillaring documents and instruments were
shaped: Ecoregion Conservation Plan, Caucasus Biodiversity Monitoring
Network, Caucasus Biodiversity Council and the Caucasus Nature Fund.


During WWF-Germany's 50th Anniversary Event in Berlin on 5 June 2013, WWF
Caucasus PO signed a contract with German Government to establishing the
Ecological Corridor Fund with starting capital of Euro 8m (with Euro 300,000
co-funding by WWF Germany).


The foundation of this new concept is biodiversity conservation at the
landscape level as well as an increased level of motivation and involvement
of the local people. In addition, such a large-scale project will ensure
overall sustainability of WWF-Caucasus Programme in the region.
