The Project Objective is to promote conservation and sustainable use of globally significant habitats and species in the Torghar and Chagai Conservancies. The immediate objectives are 1) To raise awareness of local communities and stakeholders about biodiversity conservation and sustainable use of natural resources. 2) To create an enabling environment for community based biodiversity conservation and natural resources management. 3) To build institutional capacity of local communities, NGOs, and government institutions to conserve and make sustainable use of biodiversity.

The project will contribute to the conservation of globally significant biodiversity of the Altos de Cantillana massif and the Aculeo lagoon basin, by developing a public-private partnership for the conservation and comanagement of private lands as a replicable model for the National System of Protected Areas in Chile.

The project objective is the conservation and sustainable use of globally significant biodiversity across the tundra landscape of the Central Taymir Landscape Corridor (CTLC). Its purpose is the successful completion of the project will result in stakeholders devising innovative and adaptive practices to mitigate and prevent threats to biological diversity by applying new partnerships, conservation tools, information, and sustainable livelihoods to conserve biological diversity.

The objective of the proposed project is to ensure that indigenous farmers in the Humahuaca Valley of Argentina adopt improved on-farm conservation and management, based on traditional production practices that contribute to in-situ conservation of selected globally significant Andean crop varieties and their wild relatives.

This project will enhance decentralized and participatory conservation management in Guatemala by expanding and consolidating a network of municipal regional parks (MRPs) in the Western Plateau region.

The Selous – Niassa Wildlife corridor is classified as a threatened miombo woodland ecosystem linking the Selous and Niassa Game Reserves, two of the largest protected areas in Tanzania and Mozambique. If the predicted development pressures on this Corridor are not addressed this corridor and associated conservation benefits could lose its ecological integrity and so conservation role in the next six - seven years. Immediate Objectives 1.

To demonstrate effective public-private partnerships in co-management of a protected area for the conservation and sustainable use of dry forest biodiversity and a turtle nesting area in the south Pacific coast of Nicaragua. The project will also provide the GoN with a general framework for the replication of the co-management model.
