ABSTRACT

Abstract: This article explores the unknown role of Conservation Trust Funds (CTF) through a review of the literature (scientific and technical) and a database of 89 CTF worldwide. It is based on the observation that there is little interest in the scientific literature for this instrument, although it is very well documented and used by conservation actors (NGOs, donors, governments). In the context of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, protected areas are the main instrument to achieve the SDGs 14 (Life below water) and 15 (Life on land). Then, sustaining protected areas through the use of CTF is particularly relevant to ‘the mobilization of financial resources from all sources’ (Targets 15.A and 15.B). The objective of the article is to provide an analysis of the literature and a typology of the different CTFs. We propose a mapping of the different CTFs around the world. Finally, we discuss the main risks associated with the use of this tool, particularly with regard to its dependence on stock market fluctuations.

摘要：本文通过回顾文献（科学和技术）以及全球89个CTF的数据库，探索了保护信托基金（CTF）的未知作用。基于这一观察，尽管保护行动者（非政府组织，捐助者，政府）已经对其进行了充分的文献记载和使用，但对该工具的科学文献几乎没有兴趣。在《 2030年可持续发展议程》的背景下，保护区是实现可持续发展目标14（水下生命）和15（陆地生命）的主要手段。然后，通过使用周转基金维持保护区与“从所有来源筹集资金”特别相关（指标15.A和15.B）。本文的目的是提供对不同CTF的文献和类型的分析。我们提出了世界各地不同CTF的映射。最后，我们讨论与使用此工具相关的主要风险，尤其是其对股票市场波动的依赖性。
