The project will support St Vincent & the Grenadines' participation in the larger project already under implementation to prepare to cope with adverse effects of climate change, and particularly sea level rise. See Caribbean Planning for Adaptation to Climate Change project description.
The project will develop and implement a sustainable management and biodiversity conservation system for the Sundarbans region of Bangladesh on the basis of rational plans and the participation of all key stakeholders, including: (i) priority biodiversity conservation initiatives and improved forest management; (ii) increased institutional capacity to manage the Sundarbans Reserved Forest (SRF); (iii) measures to reduce poverty of the 2-3 million people living in the impact zone bordering the SRF through expanding economic opportunities, improved social infrastructure, improved organization f
The project focuses on activities that will serve to broaden the number of date palm varieties that will be grown in-situ by comparison to baseline projections, rather than promote higher yields or an expansion of market demand, which are not incremental activities.
The project will address the root causes of biodiversity loss from land degradation in the five critical, upland and floodplain ecosystems of a 60,000 km2 portion of the trans-border Senegal River Valley in Senegal and Mauritania. The project will improve on techniques for rehabilitating the natural ecosystems of these degraded lands. It will develop and apply participatory resource management systems, especially those that generate resource-based income and consequent economic incentives for sustainable management.
The project will support the establishment of effective management for biodiversity conservation and sustainable use in, and around, four priority protected areas. The selected areas were identified as national priorities and are representative of all four major biographic regions and provide examples of the main development challenges to biodiversity conservation and protected area management in Turkey. The project provides an opportunity to promote sustainable forest and wetland management and biodiversity conservation in areas which are coming under increasing pressure from development.
The project objectives are to promote the conservation of biodiversity along the Patagonia coastline and to protect the Patagonia Shelf large marine ecosystem through the prevention and mitigation of coastal pollution and the sustainable management of fisheries resources.
The long-term objectives of the project are to remedy the serious environmental effects of pollution and habitat degradation in the Dnieper River Basin, to ensure sustainable use of its resources, and to protect biodiversity in the basin. This will be catalyzed through the development of both a regional Strategic Action Programme (SAP) as well as individual National Action Programmes (NAP) outlining country and donor commitments to baseline and additional preventive and remedial actions on behalf of the basin. The implementation of incremental (e.g.
