The abrupt termination of around 5,200 contracts in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kff.org\/global-health-policy\/u-s-foreign-aid-freeze-dissolution-of-usaid-timeline-of-events\/\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external\">early 2025<\/a> ended support for activities as varied as plastic waste collection from beaches in East Africa, wildlife ranger patrols in Vietnam and crop substitution for coca farmers in the Amazon.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Body\">Without USAID\u2019s support, long-running projects intended to protect landscapes and support environmental policymaking have floundered or collapsed, according to the authors of the new report.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Body\">\u201cIt\u2019s a more fragmented and less-coordinated approach to solving global environmental problems, and we\u2019re leaving communities and people behind because of that,\u201d said Monica Bansal, co-author and former director of USAID\u2019s Center for Energy, Infrastructure, and Cities.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Body\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/report.oneearthpartners.com\/\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external\">166-page report<\/a> is the first comprehensive review of the impact of USAID\u2019s closure on its nature-related initiatives. It was produced by consultancy firm One Earth Partners, which was founded in 2025 by Bansal and former USAID Natural Climate Solutions Division chief Hadas Kushnir.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Body\">The report uses survey data and interviews with 150 people connected to USAID\u2019s work in Bangladesh, Peru, Kenya, Colombia and Vietnam.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Body\">In the 2024 fiscal year, USAID spent $365.75 million on biodiversity conservation, $256.5 million on climate adaptation, $247 million on clean energy, and an additional $232.25 million on natural climate solutions, ocean plastics, and pollution.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_311090\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-311090\" src=\"https:\/\/imgs.mongabay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2025\/12\/11092320\/Liberia-USAID.jpg\" alt=\"Morris Wamah, the director for the Liberian Initiative for Development Services, who worked implementing USAID funding in Liberian land reform, looks at a local map in June, amid global cuts to USAID funding.\" width=\"1536\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/imgs.mongabay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2025\/12\/11092320\/Liberia-USAID.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/imgs.mongabay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2025\/12\/11092320\/Liberia-USAID-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/imgs.mongabay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2025\/12\/11092320\/Liberia-USAID-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/imgs.mongabay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2025\/12\/11092320\/Liberia-USAID-350x233.jpg 350w, https:\/\/imgs.mongabay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2025\/12\/11092320\/Liberia-USAID-610x407.jpg 610w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1536px) 100vw, 1536px\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Morris Wamah, the director for the Liberian Initiative for Development Services, who worked implementing USAID funding in Liberian land reform, looks at a local map in June 2025, amid global cuts to USAID funding.

For example, before being shutdown, USAID trained Colombian and Peruvian officials in how to use satellite data to monitor deforestation in the Amazon. In another case, it was the lead donor funding anti-poaching and other wildlife law enforcement at Mozambique\u2019s Gorongosa National Park.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Body\">Both projects were terminated when the agency shuttered, according to the report.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Body\">USAID\u2019s long-standing relationships with local officials and willingness to give out grants in risky environments such as northern Kenya will be hard to replace, the report states.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Body\">\u201cSome of the direct impacts that we heard on the environment were increased deforestation and poaching, increased risk to environmental defenders, and backsliding that\u2019s happening in the policy arena,\u201d Kushnir, who co-authored the report, told Mongabay.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Body\">In Bangladesh, a long-running effort to help rural communities set up nature-friendly ecotourism businesses stalled outright just as it was on the cusp of being finalized. USAID workers spent nearly two decades facilitating revenue-sharing agreements between the country\u2019s Forest Department and those communities, including one for the Baikka Beel wetland. After the agency dissolved, management of the wetland reverted entirely back to the government, the report says.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Body\">It also finds that Kenya has been one of the hardest-hit countries. USAID was a <a href=\"https:\/\/news.mongabay.com\/2025\/02\/across-the-world-conservation-projects-reel-after-abrupt-us-funding-cuts\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">crucial and early supporter<\/a> of the country\u2019s community-led conservancies, which contain a significant portion of Kenya\u2019s wildlife. The agency\u2019s sudden disappearance <a href=\"https:\/\/news.mongabay.com\/2025\/05\/crisis-hits-community-led-conservation-group-in-northern-kenya\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">led to a crisis<\/a> in some of the organizations set up to support those conservancies.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_330739\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-330739\" src=\"https:\/\/imgs.mongabay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2026\/09\/24143236\/USAID-1-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Savannah elephants in the Biliquo Bulesa conservancy in northern Kenya.

The loss derailed a plan to set up new conservancies that would have secured movement corridors for elephants and other wildlife.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Body\">\u201cThe new conservancies that we had identified to support under the project were put on hold,\u201d he told Mongabay by phone.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Body\">In an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.documentcloud.org\/documents\/28680709-response-environmental-impact-of-usaid-and-other-foreign-aid-cuts-00496833-mongabay\/#document\/p1\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external\">emailed statement<\/a>, a spokesperson for the U.S. State Department declined to address the report directly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUnder President Trump\u2019s leadership, we are protecting our national security and economic interests in areas beyond national borders, including the high seas, Antarctica, and outer space, and combating transnational threats, like illegal, unreported, and unregulated fishing; transboundary pollution in our air and water; and illegal logging and mining,\u201d the spokesperson said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Body\"><b>Documenting the fallout<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"Body\">Bansal and Kushnir were both senior USAID employees who were among the 95% of agency staff fired as part of the Trump administration\u2019s purge in 2025. In the year that followed, the pair drew on their contacts and those of colleagues to gather information about what had been lost when the agency\u2019s environmental portfolio was torn up.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Body\">\u201cNobody was telling the story of the impact of the loss of USAID\u2019s development work,\u201d Kushnir said. \u201cThey were very much telling the story of the loss of humanitarian and health assistance, but of that longer-term development work, nobody was doing it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"Body\">Along with the findings of Bansal and Kushnir\u2019s research, the report presents a set of recommendations for future policymakers who might wish to reboot foreign environmental aid.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Body\">\u201cWe can have a foreign assistance structure that\u2019s better than it was before, and we should do that,\u201d Bansal said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Body\">The Trump administration\u2019s decision to close USAID was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/environment\/2026\/mar\/16\/conservation-trump-cuts-natural-world-usaid-funding-biodiversity-aoe\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external\">widely criticized<\/a> by environmental groups, though some had previously leveled complaints against the agency. The U.S.-based Oakland Institute, for example, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oaklandinstitute.org\/report\/pulling-back-curtain\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external\">published a report in 2024<\/a> accusing USAID of facilitating the violent eviction of Indigenous pastoralists from Tanzania\u2019s Ruaha National Park.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Body\">\u201cThe fingerprints of USAID are all over the harmful policies and projects to expand protected areas, rendering it complicit in the forced evictions of the Indigenous and other local communities across eastern and central Africa,\u201d said Anuradha Mittal, executive director of the Oakland Institute, in an email to Mongabay.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_330738\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-330738\" src=\"https:\/\/imgs.mongabay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2026\/09\/24143151\/USAID-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1707\" srcset=\"https:\/\/imgs.mongabay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2026\/09\/24143151\/USAID-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/imgs.mongabay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2026\/09\/24143151\/USAID-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/imgs.mongabay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2026\/09\/24143151\/USAID-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/imgs.mongabay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2026\/09\/24143151\/USAID-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/imgs.mongabay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2026\/09\/24143151\/USAID-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/imgs.mongabay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2026\/09\/24143151\/USAID-350x233.jpg 350w, https:\/\/imgs.mongabay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2026\/09\/24143151\/USAID-610x407.jpg 610w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Rangers with the Northern Rangelands Trust, one of USAID\u2019s former grantees in Kenya. Image by Ashoka Mukpo \/ Mongabay.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"Body\">Resson Duff, portfolio director for Maliasili, an organization that funds and supports community-led conservation groups across Africa, said the requirements of top-down bilateral donors like USAID could distort the goals of smaller local partners.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Body\">\u201cVery often these organizations are highly constrained to do and to perform activities that may not be in line with what they know will actually have impact, but they will take the money anyway because they need to pay salaries,\u201d said Duff in a phone interview with Mongabay.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Body\">According to Duff, around one-quarter of the organizations Maliasili works with were partly funded by USAID or the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Within that group, assistance from the U.S. government accounted for just under 30% of their total funding \u2014 a significant loss.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Body\">However, many of them were subsequently able to find new donors to cover the gap.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Body\">\u201c[Our] partners were not only able to fill the hole, that 28% gap that USAID was creating, they actually were able to raise more money,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Body\">Other organizations have not been so fortunate. Alongside the report, One Earth Partners has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oneearthpartners.com\/curated-project-pipeline\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external\">released a list of 100 projects<\/a> that were formerly funded by USAID and are now in need of support.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Body\">\u201cOne of the things that we\u2019re trying to do with the report is demystify a little bit of what USAID was doing, show funders where the gaps are, and then provide them with concrete ways with these projects that they can fill those gaps,\u201d Kushnir said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Body\">The co-authors acknowledge that there were problems with the way USAID operated, including onerous requirements for local grantees and high overhead costs, but said their curated project list illustrates the kind of valuable work that was lost when it disappeared.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Body\">\u201cThe world we\u2019re facing is a world in which we were already not meeting any of our [environmental] goals or commitments, and we are now going to have a harder time meeting them,\u201d Bansal said.<\/p>\n<p><em>Note: this article was amended to include an emailed response from the U.S. State Department.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Banner<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>image<\/strong>: Giraffe in the Sera Conservancy in northern Kenya, a former recipient of USAID funding.
