At present, this includes 56 protected areas, covering 12.602.320 ha, equivalent to 9.3% of Colombia's terrestrial area and 1.98% of its marine area. |
| benefits: |       |
| objectives: | Consolidate and coordinate the National System of Protected Areas for all PAs in the National Parks System, including improving control and surveillance capabilities, governance and management. |
| area impacted: | The project will be developed at national context, covering all the regions comprised by the National Parks System (SPNN), which currently includes 56 protected areas (PA) and 12.602.320 ha (9.3% of the terrestrial area and 1.98% of the marine area of Colombia).

Costa Rica
Forever Costa Rica

| abstract: | Costa Rica has 26 percent of its land area under various protection management categories. As in many other developing countries, however, challenges and threats are great. This is mainly due to the fact that development continues to pressure the ecological systems around terrestrial and marine protected areas. Overfishing, legal and illegal fishing, unregulated tourism development, urbanization, logging, and water pollution, sedimentation, the degradation of coral reefs and the depletion of fisheries, are threats that affect protected areas as well as other neighboring lands and waters. In addition, despite the enormous efforts made to date, Costa Rica’s protected area system still has conservation gaps that must be addressed if the desired ecological representation is to be achieved. |
| benefits: | |
| objectives: | 1)Protect key habitats to prevent their degradation; (2) Identify MPAs that are most affected by climate change, and (3) promote sustainable fisheries and tourism. |
