Regional Implementation Teams

CEPF's regional implementation teams (RITs) are located in or near each biodiversity hotspot where CEPF is investing. They work on the ground directly with CEPF’s grantees, helping to build local capacity and implement CEPF’s strategy in the biodiversity hotspot. Their local expertise is vital to CEPF's success.

See the complete list of RIT responsibilities in the terms of reference.
