Belize
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. |

Developing and testing a sub-national REDD+ strategy to safeguard the remaining forests within protected areas and on private land in Uganda’s north and north-central Albertine Rift
01-Feb-2012
|
+more
| abstract: | The project will pilot a sub-national REDD+ strategy in the Albertine Rift in south-west Uganda. This region ranks first out of the 119 terrestrial eco-regions of continental Africa in terms of biodiversity significance, but has one of the highest deforestation rates globally, losing 17000 ha/yr. By introducing REDD+, the project will apply a transformational approach to the management of the 329000 ha of remaining forests in protected areas, safeguarding carbon stocks of 390 M tCO2eq; without such action, Central Forests Reserves (CFRs) and private forests will be cleared in less than 20 years and pressures will mount on the national parks that protect the most important biodiversity and watersheds. The project will support development of a sub-national REDD+ strategy, develop standards for REDD+ projects for forest protected areas and adjacent lands, define a corresponding MRV system, and through co-benefit arrangements will improve land security and livelihoods for 14500 forest dependent households. |

Reducing climate risk for vulnerable communities along South Africa's Garden Route
27-Jan-2012
|
+more
| abstract: | The Garden Route region of South Africa, within the Cape Floristic Region, is an area of outstanding global biodiversity importance - renowned for its species richness and endemism. The area, with its tall forests unique in the country, is also extremely vulnerable to climate change, with documented increases in recent years in flooding, drought, coastal erosion and fire that are occurring as a consequence of increased climate variability and inappropriate land use and management. |
| benefits: | |
| objectives: | The project will bring together key stakeholders from the local and national levels to apply a landscape approach – working to create a mosaic of land uses that maximizes both biodiversity conservation and healthy ecosystem functioning – with the specific intent of enhancing climate risk management capabilities. This will be achieved by improving land management and rehabilitation work on private land, with new land brought under protection in corridors, as well as better management of existing protected areas. |

| abstract: | Ce projet d’aménagement et de renforcement de l’acceptabilité sociale du PARC NATIONAL DU KARTHALA (en cours de création officielle), contribue à concrétiser ce chantier et à favoriser son acceptabilité sociale par les communautés locales issues des 16 villages environnant et exploitant la zone forestière concernée. Il vise à concrétiser une matérialisation de la délimitation physique sur le terrain ainsi que le zonage de la première aire protégée terrestre et deux réserves communautaires riveraines pour faciliter les aménagements internes. Par ailleurs, il permettra de conforter les communautés locales en leurs apportant un appui technique et matériel pour le développement de la filière « apiculture améliorée (cf. rapport apiculture)» déjà initiée dans les villages de la zone de l’aire protégée, en tant qu’activité de substitution et génératrice de revenus pour les groupes vulnérables vis-à-vis de la nouvelle réglementation adoptée dans la zone. Cette activité s’inscrit dans la visée de la Stratégie Nationale sur la Biodiversité, notamment une des mesures pertinentes prévues et portant sur l’identification et la promotion des activités de substitution génératrices de revenus qui en font du développement des activités alternatives, une mesure essentielle pour l’acceptabilité sociale des aires protégées. |

Asimismo, explora alternativas para el manejo de los recursos naturales que permiten transitar hacia un desarrollo sustentable, a través de la implementación de una estrategia financiera diversificada y sostenible a largo plazo.
El proyecto tiene como objetivo general implementar una estrategia financiera diversificada y sostenible, que contribuya a la conservación, aprovechamiento sustentable y restauración de los sistemas de áreas naturales protegidas mexicanas y que garantice la operatividad de las Áreas Protegidas en el largo plazo. |
| benefits: | |
| objectives: | The objectives of conservation projects are to mitigate threats such as climate change and to restore or maintain the viability of focal conservation targets. A project may lack the resources to do so, so having a financial strategy provides an overview of the monetary needs and strategies for managing long-term funding to ensure sufficient levels of funding and diversified financial national and international sources. |
| area impacted: | The project aims at strengthening the management of 174 protected areas in Mexico, which are administered by the National Commission of Natural Protected Areas. These include: 41 Biosphere Reserves, 67 National Parks, 5 Natural Monuments, 8 Areas of Natural Resources Protection, 35 Areas of Flora and Fauna Protection, 18 Sanctuaries, which represent 25,384,818 hectares of land. The project also seeks to create 21 new protected areas, specifically: 5 Areas of Natural Resources Protection, 2 Natural Monuments, 6 Biosphere Reserves and 7 Sanctuaries. |

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. |
