Management and Protection Enhancement of Private Natural Areas in Honduras
02-Mar-2010
|
+more
| abstract: | The conservation of private lands in Honduras began in 2001 and consequently the Honduran Network of Private Nature Reserves was established as a central initiative of the Mesoamerican Biological Corridor Project which was also supported by other projects and international cooperation programs, intended to bring together a significant number of landowners with interest to promote the conservation and management of natural resources in one association, with the ultimate aim of bringing these to the category of private reserves. As one of the activities under the work program of the CBD in PA, the government of the Honduran Republic promotes the strengthening of management and private conservation initiatives, considering that it can complement the conservation of fragile ecosystems underrepresented in the national system of protected areas in Honduras. Dry forest ecosystems are one of the most threatened and also a priority for private nature reserves.The remnants of dry forest are subject to constant threats from the surrounding productive landscape, due to limited capacities, knowledge and experience of local planners in land use and landscape. |
| benefits: | |
| objectives: | (1) Encourage private forest conservation in priority representative ecological areas which serve as connecting areas and are identified in the national gap analysis, (2) Develop policies and technical criteria for private conservation management in Honduras, (3) Strengthen capacity for enhanced technical assistance, planning and management of private reserves nationwide, (4) Promote sustainable activities for economic development and environmental sustainability of private nature reserves in the country.

Sustainable Management of Coastal Marine Resources of 6 Protected Areas of the Honduran Caribbean
07-Oct-2009
|
+more
| abstract: | The region's Caribbean coast is under intense anthropogenic pressure, as the populations of the five provinces that comprise the region, reach a total of just over 1. 7 million inhabitants, which represents 28% of the total population. Most of the population are Garifunas and Miskito (ethnic groups), which are located along the coastal area of the country. These ethnic communities are highly vulnerable, living in poverty and are seriously threatened by the degradation of natural resources. Project objectives include strengthening the governance of the region through institutional strengthening of NGOs and government institutions involved, improving the technical, financial regulation and management of coastal marine resources, accomplishing sustainable management and recovery of marine ecosystems through implementation of best fishing practices, tourism and infrastructure for economic development in the area, designing and implementing monitoring programs and research for decision makers by key stakeholders and implementing environmental education programs that promote good practices and sustainable development. |
| benefits: | |
| objectives: | Strengthen the management and coordination of 6 protected marine areas located in the coastal area of Honduras and Honduran Caribbean. |
| area impacted: | The Caribbean region of Honduras, covering approximately 671 km of coastline, and additional 193 km of coastal area of the Bay Islands. |

Strengthening the management of 7 Protected Areas in the Department of Olancho
06-Oct-2009
|
+more
| abstract: | The project will take place in the Department of Olancho, one of the most important regions related to forestry resources, which are very important for the national and local economy. The majority of the local communities involved in this project live in poverty, and lack the tools and mechanisms to effectively participate in the management of protected areas. The project objectives include consolidating the network of protected areas (7) of the Region of Olancho, managing PAs effectively and participatively and achieving an ecologically representative network, in order to accomplish environmental, social and economic functions. |
| benefits: | |
| objectives: | Strengthen the local capacity to improve the management of protected areas, create favourable conditions for local participation in the management of protected areas, consolidate an effective network of well managed protected areas, and ensure equitable and fair sharing of benefits from ecosystem goods and services with local communities. |
| area impacted: | The project will take place in the Department of Olancho, one of the most important regions for the national and local economy due to its forestry resources. |
