The South African National Biodiversity Institute (SANBI), is a national entity and a research institute that coordinates research, monitors and reports on the state of biodiversity in South Africa. SANBI also provides planning and policy advice and pilots management models. It has developed and implemented climate-resilient projects that deliver multiple and sustainable benefits to communities in an effort to respond to local adaptation needs and national climate change priorities. SANBI has achieved this by mobilizing financial resources from various sources, including multilateral financial institutions.
