Communities
Our wider mission spans Latin America. Our initial operating focus is principally Ecuador, building on existing relationships. During the Pilot, opportunities principally centre on stewardship, conservation and restoration, governance, monitoring, biocultural continuity and livelihoods — reflecting current community priorities and TAF's deliberately focused starting scope. Public profiles share the level of opportunity information appropriate for each initiative; detailed diligence and sensitive material are kept until conversations with genuinely interested funding partners.
