Human Rights Protection in International Conservation Funding

New rules aim to prevent funding organizations that violate human rights in international conservation efforts. This means taxpayer money will not support groups involved in serious human rights abuses, increasing accountability for organizations receiving funds.
Key points
Prohibition on funding human rights violators: The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service cannot fund organizations or their sub-recipients if there is credible information of gross human rights violations.
Requirement for human rights safeguard plans: Organizations seeking funds must submit plans to prevent human rights violations, including consultations with local communities and grievance mechanisms.
Increased oversight and reporting: Mandates reporting of credible human rights violation information and regular financial and programmatic audits to ensure compliance with new rules.
