The SAMBIO Project is a five-year initiative supported by the Global Environment Facility (GEF) and implemented by Conservation International. The Government of Fiji through the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change (MECC), is the Executing Agency, with the support of BirdLife International (BLI).
SAMBIO was approved in 2022 as part of the GEF-7 Biodiversity Focal Area to address biodiversity loss across Fiji’s key terrestrial and marine ecosystems and to improve the long-term sustainability of ecosystem services that support island communities. The project builds on Fiji’s commitment to expanding and effectively managing its protected area network, both on land and at sea, and aligns with national biodiversity strategies and international conservation goals.
