Founded in 1996, the Fundo Brasileiro para a Biodiversidade (Brazilian Biodiversity Fund) is a nonprofit that acts as a strategic partner for the private sector, different state and federal authorities, and organized civil society. In the private sector, these partnerships have made it possible for companies to make social investments and reduce and mitigate their impacts, while also fulfilling legal obligations. In the public sphere, they serve to consolidate conservation policies and enable environmental funding programs.

Based in Rio de Janeiro, the organization has supported over 200 projects from over 150 different organizations; it also worked to support 291 protected areas, representing around 39 percent of protected land in Brazil. Its interdisciplinary team of professionals work in the following areas: program and project management; design, implementation and management of financial mechanisms; climate change; and network management.
