Consolidating the Brazilian National System of Conservation Units - SNUC
11-Oct-2010
|
+more
| abstract: | This proposal seeks to strengthen the Brazilian National System of Conservation Units (SNUC). Priority areas identified include: organizational strengthening and capacity building at all levels of the SNUC; strengthening of protected area management; building financial sustainability through the broad recognition by society; and the value of protected areas to the national economy and to the well-being of present and future generations. Communication and social outreach, accountability mechanisms and monitoring play key roles in this proposal in light of the necessity to establish effective climate change adaptation and mitigation strategies. |
| benefits: | |
| objectives: | The brief analysis between PoWPA and developed know-how in Brazil highlights the knowledge gaps that this Expression of Interest intends to mitigate. Particularly as they pertain to the following areas: Values of protected areas, financial sustainability, requirements in terms of capacity, communications and outreach, research needs and effective management. |
| area impacted: | The objective is to strengthen the National System of Conservation Units – celebrating it’s 10th anniversary this year - as a whole. Currently, there are around 700 conservation units on federal and state level involved by this project. Other projects with national and international financing will create and consolidate new protected areas in order to achieve the protection targets established by the national conservation policy (compare graphic by bioma – Annex 2). |

| 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. |
