Why work with BGCI to save trees?
- We work with partners in country to develop a species recovery plan and a five year project plan, including community involvement and benefits
- We ensure accurate baseline information is in place to guide species recovery and to monitor project progress, including socio-economic measures where relevant
- We assess capacity gaps and what kind of training is required
- We provide bespoke training (face to face or online) to partners from BGCI and our network
- We provide a wide range of technical guidance resources
- Where necessary, we match the project leader to a mentor from elsewhere in the BGCI network to provide technical support for project implementation
- We provide project templates to help with project implementation, monitoring and adaptive management
- We provide guidance throughout the project cycle through regular contact with a BGCI project manager
- We provide support to implementing institutions on community engagement
- We provide regular updates to the funder
- We stream project news and stories on our website and social media
- We promote funder’s support to BGCI’s Tree Conservation Fund through our website, social media and traditional media

- We provide training on monitoring and evaluation as needed
- We ensure that project impacts are monitored and reported to the funder
- We ensure that the impacts of the project on the species are reported on BGCI’s global tree conservation tracking tool
- We ensure that project impact is recognised as part of a country’s contribution to the UN Convention on Biological Diversity, SDGs, and other relevant frameworks
- We ensure that partners are integrated in to BGCI’s regional and technical networks
