The Biodiversity Support Program is a consortium of World Wildlife Fund, The Nature Conservancy, and World Resources Institute, funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID).
BSP's mission is to promote conservation of the world's biological diversity and to maximize the impact of U.S. government resources directed toward international biodiversity conservation.
We believe that a healthy and secure living resource base is essential to meet the needs and aspirations of present and future generations.
To accomplish our mission, we support local communities, NGOs, and governments to establish:
- clear conservation priorities, goals, and objectives;
- democractic social processes, dialogue, and partnerships;
- incentives for ethical valuation of nature;
- favorable policies; and
- enhanced awareness and knowledge.
