Protecting Biodiversity and Establishing Sustainable Development of the in Sabana-Camaguey Region
Project enhances current surveys of biodiversity by providing equipment and resources and assisting with rapid ecological inventories. Includes facilitating creaqtion of geographic information systems, ongoimg monitoring and analysis, and translation of data into procedures and guidelines for eco-tourism development.
Biodiversity Conservation and Management in the Coastal Zone of the Dominican Republic
Project assists government in protecting two important coastal regions through addressing regional landshed issues and developing buffering strategy. Training will take place, public awareness will be raised, and data will be gathered into geographic information system for assessment of priority protection areas, monitoring of environmental change, and assessment of socio-economic impact on environmental policy.
Wind Energy Applications
The PDF will assess the technical, economic and environmental feasibility of promising wind energy technologies; conduct detailed review of barriers to the widespread adoption of wind energy and design a program to overcome them. (1995) A brief was submitted to the GEF for WP inclusion in September 2003 Brief Summary: The project aims at reducing Eritrea's energy related CO2 emissions by promoting both on-grid and off-grid wind energy systems as a substitute for fossil fuel based energy generation.
Conservation of Biodiversity through Effective Management of Wildlife Trade
Domestic and international trade in wildlife species plays an important role in national and local economies, and bushmeat constitutes a major source of protein for rural communities in Gabon. At the same time, much of the trade in wildlife in the region is unregulated and almost nothing is known about the impact of trade on biodiversity. Improved knowledge and management of wildlife and its trade is urgently needed to protect biodiversity in the region, and to ensure sustainable use of the resource and its continued contribution to economic development.
Support for Regional Oceans Training Programmes
To increase capabilities and growth of regional contacts and communications networks, this project establishes four regional centers in Costa Rica, India, Fiji and Senegal that develop curricula and train scientists and officials from their respective regions. Participants in the training program jointly create intervention methodologies for later implementation in their countries of origin.
Monitoring of Greenhouse Gases Including Ozone
This project establishes key stations where data needed for scientific assessment can be collected and analyzed. Activities include surveying potential sites, arranging means of local collaboration, facilitating construction, procuring equipment, training staff, evaluating data, and providing data to world knowledge bases.
Alternatives to Slash and Burn
A joint effort by institutions at eight benchmark sites, this project seeks to expand knowledge of sustainable alternatives to slash and burn agriculture. Activities include standardizing methodologies, assessing biophysical and socio-economic characteristics, enhancing scientists' capacity, analyzing the impact of slash and burn, and increasing international awareness of alternatives.
Integrated Biodiversity Protection in the Sarstun-Motagua Region
This project protects a wide array of threatened ecosystems containing globally important biodiversity by launching an integrated program for resources conservation and sustainable use in the Sarstun-Montagua region, focusing on the management of the nine protected areas. Project is based on premise that programs for biological conservation must include the promotion of sustainable economicuses of biological resources by communities living in and around the protected areas.
Mainstreaming Conservation and Sustainable Use of Medicinal Plant Diversity in Three Indian States
This project seeks to achieve the long-term conservation and sustainable use of India’s medicinal plant diversity, particularly of its globally significant species. The project will do this by mainstreaming conservation and sustainable use objectives into forest management policy and practice at the national, state and local level in three Indian states: Arunachal Pradesh in North-East India, Chattisgarh in Central India and Uttaranchal in North-west India.
Optimizing Development of Small Hydel Resources in Hilly Areas
Project formulates technical and economic guidelines and furthers adoption of advanced technologies for small hydro resources in India's hilly region, which should reduce carbon emissions and mitigate deforestation. An integral part of government programme to expand prevelance of non-conventional energy sources, the project uses a more cost-effective design than those of present India plants in this field. The project is an integral part of the MNES Mini-Micro Hydel programme.
