The Save Our Species program (SOS), of which GEF is one donor, was established in 2010 (GEF: $4.9 million, cofinancing $7.85 million, total: $12.75 million), by the GEF, the World Bank (WB) and the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) to support targeted species-conservation projects in GEF-recipient countries.
During the reporting period, 59 new SOS projects were approved for funding. The SOS provided $4,985,081 and leveraged $5,371,870 in cofinance to conserve 129 threatened species in 42 countries, thus making a significant contribution to Aichi Target 12. These projects involved 42 CSOs.
