<p>DFID has committed over £600m of Official Development Assistance between 2011-2021
to conserve wildlife and nature. This includes work that we cannot breakdown geographically
such as our funding to the Global Environment Facility and our work on curbing illicit
financial flows. We also invest substantial sums in tackling deforestation which helps
to protect habitats for endangered species such as the Sumatran tiger and Asian elephant.
DFID, with Defra, funds the UK Illegal Wildlife Trade Challenge Fund and to date £23m
has been allocated, of which £13.8m are for projects in Africa and £8.4m in Asia.</p>
