Factsheet: GEF-8 Southeast Asia and the Pacific Forests Integrated Programme

Co-led by IUCN and FAO, the Southeast Asia and the Pacific Forests Integrated Programme (SEAP Forests IP) aims to maintain the integrity of the region’s remaining primary forests, which are ecosystems of global importance for biodiversity, climate stability, and human wellbeing. This factsheet provides an overview of the programme, biome as well as the programmatic approach to transformative conservation. 

Under the GEF-8 funding cycle, the Global Environment Facility (GEF) is supporting a new generation of integrated programmes to conserve and protect globally important forest landscapes for both people and planet. SEAP Forests IP is one of five such GEF initiatives, alongside the GEF-8 Critical Forest Biomes Integrated Programmes for the Amazon, Guinean Forests, Mesoamerica, and the Congo Basin.
