Brainstormed ideas (by workshop participants)
From keynote speech we identified several
innovative funding mechanism including few of them appeared to be easily implementable
For example:
- Departure Tax
- Bed Tax (already implemented in George Town, Penang and Malacca)
- Conservation Vehicle Number Plate
Innovative Funding
Provide an opportunity for public to contribute a
nominal amount (RM) for conservation of wetland in Sabah
Create awareness campaign towards public
Collect funding from the public for the conservation in Sabah specifically for wetlands
Objectives
State of Maine (New England region of the
northeastern United States)
- For the wildlife conservation
State of Minessota
- for the critical habitat conservation
- fee is $20.00 in addition(1st purchasing) the plates. - -- renewal is an additional $15.00
Where it has been done?
State of Massachusetts
- For environmental conservation
- new "Preserve the Trust" environmental specialty plate is $40
- Renew your plate every two years and the renewal fees $40
Where it has been done?
Guideline from the JPJ:
3 types of number plates that are allowed for use:
White alphabets and numbers, embossed or glued on a black plate.
White alphabets and numbers, embossed or glued on a red plate for vehicles belonging to embassies, the UN and the International Natural Rubber Association.
Black alphabets and numbers, embossed or glued on a white plate for taxicabs and hired cars.

(e.g: 5%)
Channeled to State
conservation trust fund

Brainstormed ideas (by workshop participants)
• Accessibility
• Promotion (Easier to reach target audience)
• Audience is more receptive
• Audience is more affluent (Higher chance of gaining money)
• Higher expectations placed on wetland (better/higher standard for wetland)
• Proximity to business/corporates/donors
Selected options for sustainable financing, based on competitive advantages of urban wetlands:
Naming rights/adoption
programme
CSR- Corporate Programmes
Provide/prepare packages
(internally/outsourcing) and governance
• What would we offer? / the justification and reasonings / benefits for companies – royalties on biodiversity, publicity offered,
• T & C
• Who are the targets?
• How long the duration?
ROI
• Case study from other organisations / countries (Bench-marking)
Due diligence
• Prospecting and identifying companies
•Checking track records / reputations / avoid green washings
Implementation
•Marketing strategies
•Negotiations
•Agreements / MoU
•Ceremony - publicity
Monitoring / reporting / evaluation
