MARINE PROTECTED AREAS STRENGTHENING PROJECT-KENYA
26-Oct-2010
|
+more
| abstract: | In addition to protecting coral reefs, mangroves and seagrass beds, Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) in Kenya have additional biodiversity attributes including; protecting the only remaining population of dugong in Kenya in the Kiunga MPA, protecting key feeding and breeding grounds for sea turtles in the Kiunga, Malindi-Watamu and Mombasa MPAs and protecting part of the largest mangrove forest on the Kenyan coast. Additional important attributes that have not been evaluated include carbon sequestration by coral reefs, mangroves and seagrass beds, the potential for medicinal products and the recreational and aesthetic value of these areas. Although no country-wide geographical prioritization of biodiversity has been carried out in Kenya, the high dependence of coastal communities on marine resources, the importance of MPAs for tourism (the mainstay of the Kenyan economy), fisheries and biodiversity and other ecosystem services, and the serious threat of climate change on coral reefs and associated ecosystems increase the urgency for strengthening the management of Kenyan MPAs. |
| benefits: | |
| objectives: | The overall objective of the project is to enhance biodiversity conservation of marine habitats and species, improve management of MPAs and support the development of initiatives that improve livelihoods of coastal communities. |
| area impacted: | The project will contribute significantly towards national priorities as laid out in the in Poverty Reduction Strategy, Vision 2030, the National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan and natural resource policies including the Wildlife, ICZM, Fisheries and Ocean Policy, and Forest Policy amongst others. All these policies embody sustainable exploitation, management and conservation of the environment and natural resources, equitable sharing of benefits and empowerment of communities as important pillows of development. In addition, the new Constitution of Kenya reiterates the national responsibility for the environment under article 69 (1) (a). Most MPA's in Kenya also serve as critical carbon sinks and therefore could potentially participate in national REDDS strategies and action plans.

Yayu Coffee Forest Biosphere Reserve: Model site for integration of research-based conservation and development
24-Mar-2010
|
+more
| abstract: | Yayu forest is one of the priority forest areas in Ethiopia. Over 450 higher plants, 50 mammal, 200 bird, and 20 amphibian species have been recorded in the area. The forest is also one of the few remnant habitats for coffee (Coffea arabica). Ethiopia is the only center of origin and diversity for C. arabica and hence is important for in situ conservation of genetic diversity. The Yayu coffee forest is also important for the livelihoods of local households and stakeholders at different levels. This project aims to reduce deforestation and forest degradation while contributing to the improvement of local livelihoods through adaptive conservation-development integration activities. To achieve this, the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve approach will be adopted. This project’s specific objectives are to strengthen the capacity of government agencies and community-based organizations responsible for biosphere reserve establishment and management, brand, promote and market coffee forest products, rehabilitate degraded parts of the forest area and establish protocols for the monitoring of forest conditions. |

|
+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.
