This project aims to contribute to the achievement of Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework targets in Mozambique, South Africa, and Zimbabwe.

It seeks to support expanding economic opportunities for communities, such as women, youth and small-business owners, along the Great Limpopo transfrontier conservation area.
