Projects

The GEF-8 Greening Transportation Infrastructure Development (GRID) Integrated Program (IP) objective is to advance the transition toward sustainable transportation infrastructure that safeguards and enhances key coastal, marine, and terrestrial ecosystems.

By taking samples of soil, water, snow, or even air, we can access the environmental DNA (or eDNA) that animals naturally shed—like hair, skin, and feces—as they move through their environment. eDNA can then be used to detect endangered species, study the impacts of climate change, alert us to invisible threats such as pathogens, and assess the overall health of aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems.

WWF’s Sustainable Ranching Initiative works with farmers and ranchers around the world to identify and accelerate the use of more ecologically and economically sustainable management practices

WWF's Arctic Community Wildlife Grants program supports conservation, stewardship, and research initiatives that focus on coastal Arctic ecology, community sustainability, and priority Arctic wildlife, including polar bears, walrus, ice seals, belugas, bowhead whales, and Arctic seabirds in the Bering, Chukchi, and Beaufort Seas and adjacent coastal areas. Arctic Community Wildlife Grants address community concerns and achieve meaningful outcomes for the conservation of Arctic wildlife and the people who depend on them.
