The Global Partnership allows for the sharing of information and best practices amongst the various member initiatives as well as their constituent organizations. In addition, the Partnership is involved in several Conference of Parties (COP) mandated projects including on reporting and making the business case for the Aichi Biodiversity Targets.
The Global Partnership is thus a network of networks linking the various initiatives so that they can share information and good practices, and cooperate on common projects with a view to mainstreaming biodiversity concerns into businesses.
As a signatory since 2017, FEED also commits to aligning the organization, its partners, customers and community stakeholders to the Philippine Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan (PBSAP) 2015 – 2028, which holds the vision:
“By 2028, biodiversity is restored and rehabilitated, valued, effectively managed and secured, maintaining ecosystem services to sustain healthy, resilient Filipino communities and delivering benefits to all.”
Taking guidance from the PBSAP 2015-2028,
“The direct program interventions are: a) restoration of ecosystem functions; b) promotion of biodiversity-friendly livelihoods; and c) strengthening law enforcement. These are actions when implemented will result into concrete physical changes in the KBAs (Key Biodiversity Areas). The replanting of forest trees will result into increased forest cover that will arrest soil erosion, enable sustained water supply and provide livelihoods for communities dependent on its resources. Strengthening law enforcement will help reduce, control and manage direct pressures on biodiversity such as illegal activities (i.e., blast fishing, illegal logging, illegal harvesting and trade of natural resources, pollution) resulting in the further degradation and destruction of ecosystems.”

With improved human well-being as the overall goal of the PBSAP, FEED works in partnership with its stakeholders to help address and reduce the five major pressures of biodiversity loss (i.e., habitat loss and degradation, overexploitation, IAS, climate change, and pollution) through its various Ridge to REEF climate change action programs available to the public at large.
