BiodiversityLinks, USAID’s newly refreshed and relaunched knowledge portal for biodiversity conservation, features key USAID tools and resources, as well as new evidence and learning.
Many long-time users likely remember BiodiversityLinks’ predecessors, the Natural Resources Management and Development (RM) Portal and the Biodiversity Conservation Gateway. BiodiversityLinks takes the best of these sites forward into a platform that fuels learning to improve biodiversity programming.
The site features a redesigned homepage and updated navigation throughout. Urbanlinks users are now able to explore biodiversity’s interactions and systems-based approaches to improve development and urbanization, as well as cross-sectoral connections. You can discover collaborative learning groups focused on private sector engagement in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) and explore successful projects such as Biodiversity Understanding in Infrastructure and Landscape Development (BUILD) and Forest Carbon, Markets and Communities (FCMC), while also taking advantage of the new Library functionality to more easily share curated resources with colleagues and partners.
Enjoy exploring the new site, and please contribute your resources, learning, and stories related to biodiversity! We will continue adding resources and adapting the site based on your feedback so please reach out to the site managers with any submissions, thoughts, or questions so we can address them and better meet your needs.
