Mt. Isarog has a unusually high concentration of biological diversity and due to its geographical isolation it accounts for a a large number of endemic species. However there is a depletion in the biodiversity due to various reasons. The project seeks long-term impact on the biodiversity loss by tackling not just the immediate threats of forest loss but also its key threats.

The overall objective of the proposed PDF A will be to prepare and finalize a GEF full project brief and draft full project document. The full project will work to ensure the integrated conservation and development of the Tubbataha coral reef ecosystem by developing and implementing conservation activities as well as providing alternative livelihood options.

Conservation of endangered coastal and marine species and ecosystems; establishment of marine national parks; protection of world heritage sites.

The project will promote sustainable use of the meadows in four areas: SrNP (Slovensky raj National Park), MFNP (Mala Fatra National Park), Morava River floodplain, and Olsavica valley through: (a) The preparation and implementation of restoration and management plans; (b) The analysis and introduction of incentives to encourage farmers to adopt biodiversity friendly and sustainable meadow management practices; (c) Development of Slovak grassland databaseas information framework for preparation of national policy for grassland biodiversity conservation; (e) Training and capaicty building fo

This MSP aims to ensure the conservation of valuable coastal ecosystems through the development of a collaborative management system which actively involves local communities, NGOs and government agencies

The project will support the ongoing initiative by the Government of Zanzibar, with the help of CARE, to promote integrated conservation and development activities in the Jozani-Chwaka Conservation Area, the single most important site for the conservation of Zanzibar's globally significant biodiversity. The project will establish Jozani-Chwaka Bay national park, developing Biodiversity Conservation, Community Based Natural Resources Management programmes and improving the institutional capacity in natural resources management.

To phase out 100% of the use of CFC 11 as a blowing agent and CFC 12 as a cooling agent for domestic refrigerators production in Cuba.

This project aims to provide parallel support to a Solar Water Heater business plan in South Africa in order to overcome market barriers for widespread use of SWHs. The plan was designed and negotiated as part of the application of the FINESSE strategy in South Africa where 9000 solar water heaters are to be installed over 5 years in a low-income housing peri-urban upgrade. The parallel activities, contingent on the business plan, provide specific support to the business plan but predominantly engineer a change in the market environment for SWHs nationally.

The project will be designed to help countries operationalize information access and public participation in a manner that advances the goals of reducing toxics and nutrients discharges to the Danube River Basin. As such, the activities conducted in Hungary and Slovenia will serve as a pilot for future efforts to operationalize public involvement in support of pollution reduction in the Danube in other countries in the Danube River basin.

The overall goal of the project is to reduce the contamination of the Arctic environment by persistent toxic substances (PTS). Recent studies have shown significantly elevated environmental levels of PTS in the Russian Arctic, where, due to the present economic problems, consumption of highly contaminated country food by indigenous peoples is increasing (walrus, bowhead whale, etc.).
