SFM Strengthening Protected Area System of the Komi Republic to Conserve Virgin Forest Biodiversity in the Pechora River Headwaters Region
The taiga ecosystems of the eastern part of the Republic of Komi represent the last examples of extensive virgin forests in Europe, and the largest expanse of relatively unfragmented forests on the continent. Their location on the western slopes of the Ural Mountains means that they are ecologically unique, as both European and Siberian flora and fauna are co-located. The Virgin Komi Forests were placed on the UNESCO World Natural Heritage list for their value as one of the most important natural sites in the boreal forest region.

Improved Management and Conservation Practices for the Cocos Island Marine Conservation Area
This project will result in the reduction of threats to the Island’s marine and terrestrial biodiversity through strengthening protected areas management and regulating local economic activities in a sustainable manner. As other islands, Cocos Island has evolved quite isolated from the mainland leading to a high degree of marine and terrestrial biodiversity and high endemism. These biodiversity is under threat due to among other things: extensive fishing, visitation and tourism, and the introduction of alien, invasive species.
