UNDP: Financing for Protected Areas
The United Nations Development Programme is working to facilitate the increase in financing of protected areas in Malaysia and the region. Protected areas are classified as covering terrestrial and marine areas. The need to increase financing is due to that four of nine planetary boundaries have been crossed as the result of human activities, which are extinction rate, deforestation, ocean pollution and carbon dioxide On a global scale, protected areas are severely underfinanced where the need is ranged between USD300 to 400 billion a year. Currently, it is estimated at only USD50 billion.
