ProBioDev builds on the momentum started with the SoBioDev program, which aimed to facilitate civil society organisations’ access to biodiversity funding and to strengthen their capacity to act.

Since 2024, ProBioDev has sought to demonstrate that ecological impact gains depth when it simultaneously relies on balanced partnerships between CSOs, a dynamic network that connects stakeholders and shares knowledge (through the Developing Countries and Biodiversity working group), collective expertise fed by field realities, and a common voice capable of influencing public policy.

ProBioDev thus seeks to create an ecosystem that amplifies CSOs’ power to act and durably transforms practices. This integrated approach — where cooperation, learning and influence reinforce one another — helps contribute to better-preserved nature, serving territories, human communities and the rest of the living world.
