Development of a National Ranger Training Academy and Conservation Training Centre
29-Oct-2012
|
+more
| abstract: | This project will increase the capacity of Belize’s National Protected Areas System to sustain globally important biodiversity and delivery of ecosystem services by professionalising and standardising protected area ranger practices. This specialized training academy will raise the bar for protected area law enforcement, biodiversity monitoring and adaptive protected areas management. This will contribute towards the conservation of biodiversity and maintenance of ecosystem services important in underpinning livelihoods of the rural poor. In partnership with the University of Belize the training academy will provide formal accreditation for rangers with recognized qualifications providing a pathway to higher education for exemplary students, and a means for rangers to progress professionally into senior protected area management roles. The longer term goal is for the training academy to become a regional centre contributing to the improvement of protected areas management across the Central America and Caribbean region. |

+more
| abstract: | This project will enable mechanisms to provide critical financing to ensure effective protected areas management, long term functionality and resiliency of the Belize’s National Protected Areas System. Additionally, the integration of significant components, such as marine and terrestrial-based ecosystem adaptation for climate change, coral reef resilience, forest resilience and opportunities to increase social resilience among vulnerable populations will enable an expanded role for protected areas to meet new challenges emanating from climate change. |
| benefits: | |
| objectives: | The project’s ultimate goal is to complete the implementation of activities outlined in the National Protected Areas Policy and System Plan (NPAPSP) (Meerman, 2005) to foster an effective, comprehensive and consolidated national protected areas system in addition to the establishment of a consolidated administrative structure to maintain coordinated action in protected areas system management. Furthermore, the integration of critical components, such as ecosystem adaptation for climate change, ecosystem resiliency, and opportunities to increase social resilience of resource users will enable the managers of protected areas to adequately adapt and respond to the challenges resulting from climate change. |
