To assist the Government of PNG to implement commitments under the Convention. This funding would allow the Gov't. to define priority actions for biodiversity conservation and utilization within the context of sustainable development.

Under the GEF alternative, an expanded program would be implemented focusing on alternatives that generate global benefits. These include the preparation and implementation of a protection and management plan for the Reserve, a monitoring program, rehabilitation of infrastructure, procurement of equipment and training to enable the newly established Management Authority to protect and sustainable manage the reserve.

The project aims to secure long-term conservation of biodiversity of global importance in the “Maya Lowlands” of north-eastern Central America by maintaining ecological linkages between protected areas across northern Belize, from northern Belize to the Maya Mountain/Mountain Pine Ridge massif in central Belize, and from northern Belize into the Maya and Calakmul Biosphere Reserves in Guatemala and Mexico respectively. The corridors so created constitute a critical link in the Mescoamerican Biological Corridor (MBC) system.

This is a pilot project to strengthen Syria’s capacity to protect and sustainably manage biodiversity in an area of global importance. The proposed project site is under severe threats from continued agricultural expansion, grazing, firewood collection and recreational activities. Proposed activities would integrate sustainable use of natural resources through management schemes and define and implement alternative livelihoods for local communities with the objective of reducing population pressures at the site.

The project will promote the adoption of renewable energy by privately-owned and operated solar photovoltaic equipment supply and service operations. Barrier removal activities will address: insufficient information about the real PV market; high risk for rural credit providers; limited technological know-how and institutional capacity; and inadequate regulations.

The overall objective of this project is to improve effective protection of existing protected areas by encouraging community co-management of these areas. Belize is unique in that it is still dominated by forest cover that provides extensive areas of natural habitat for some 4,000 species of plants, 150 mammal species (15 endangered/threatened), 540 bird species (33 endangered/threatened), and 151 species of amphibians and reptiles, all within a surface area of only 22,965 km2.

The long-term goal of this project is the conservation of agrobiodiversity in Peru, one of the world’s most important centers of origin of crop and plant genetic diversity. This project will target 11 important crop species, including several local varieties and wild relatives, for conservation of their genetic diversity within functioning agroecosystems.
