Synopsis: The Rapid Response Grants of the BIOPAMA Action Component are designed to respond to risks and difficulties induced by the COVID-19 crisis in African, Caribbean and Pacific countries. Applications should respond to emergency situations requiring rapid action, rather than proposing programmatic action on long-standing issues. Applications should address one of the main RRGs objectives:

• Enhanced management and governance of protected or conserved areas.
• Increased resilience to major shocks and recovery of the protected and conserved areas including sustainable/innovative funding planning.
• Maintained livelihoods and/or enhanced resilience of local communities to major shocks caused by COVID-19 pandemic, whilst effectively contributing to protected areas.
