The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what funding has been allocated from the Official Development Assistance budget for conservation projects in the Falkland Islands.

Answered by Stephen Doughty

The Falkland Islands are financially self-sufficient and do not receive Official Development Assistance. The UK Government has partnered with the Falkland Islands on several conservation projects including those supported through Defra's Darwin Plus programme. These include projects to restore native habitats, strengthen marine mammal management, and build capacity to respond to the threat of wildfires.
