The Integrated Approach in Management of Major Biodiversity Corridors in the Philippines, also known as the Biodiversity Corridor (BD Corridor) Project, is a national initiative led by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), with funding from the Global Environment Facility (GEF) and support from the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP).

Through Sustainable Forest Management (SFM)-focused microgrants, the Foundation supports community-led efforts to reduce deforestation and forest degradation, conserve high-conservation-value forests, and enhance ecosystem connectivity. Grant support is implemented in priority landscapes, including the Mindoro Biodiversity Corridor and the Eastern Mindanao Biodiversity Corridor, contributing to long-term biodiversity conservation, climate resilience, and sustainable development in key forest areas.

The Eighth Operational Phase of the GEF Small Grants Programme in the Philippines (SGP8) builds upon 30 years of successfully empowering local civil society organizations (CSOs) and community-based organizations (CBOs) to design and lead community-driven initiatives. The objectives of SGP8 are to engage local CSOs/CBOs in landscape-seascape approaches, providing them with access to knowledge, information, and capacity-building through hands-on learning, skills development, and technical and grant assistance.

The Programme will be implemented in Aurora, Quezon, Calamianes Group of Islands, Catanduanes, Cluster 6 River Basin in Northern Samar, Siargao Island Protected Landscapes and Seascapes, and Surigao del Norte. These efforts aim to enhance well-being and socio-economic conditions while generating global environmental benefits.
