It is very encouraging to see the impact of UN Environment Programme -led interventions in biodiversity conservation in Southeast Asia with funding from Global Environment Facility (GEF). These concrete actions are a true reflection of UNEP's commitment to global marine resource sustainability and ecosystem restoration.
