- 160 grants, with a diverse stakeholder participation; 30 beneficiary organisations are IUCN Members.
- Alignment with global development priorities, with contributions to 12 of the 17 SDGs.
- Five regional observatories for protected areas and biodiversity established, to support data collection, analysis, monitoring and reporting, develop the capacities of staff and organisations to manage this information, and provide policy guidance for better decision making on biodiversity conservation.
- Tangible conservation results, by supporting action on the ground in 251 protected areas.
- Capacity built and expertise enhanced for more than 4000 individuals.
- Strengthened the institutional framework of more than 150 institutions.

Working across 79 countries, BIOPAMA has established regional observatories for protected areas and supported 160 grantees – including 30 IUCN members – to advance innovative, locally grounded conservation actions. Its impact extends across borders, institutions, and ecosystems, contributing directly to 12 of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals.
