As a pass through, direct the entire amount of this grant to support the largest debt swap of its kind. The swap will generate $24 million for conservation over the next 15 years in Guatemala, and contribute to the sustainability of five key biodiversity areas. It will also strengthen projects funded by CEPF in Sierra de las Minas, Laguna del Tigre, and Sierra de los Cuchumatanes.
