Indigenous and Community Biodiversity Conservation (COINBIO)
The overall goal of the project is to achieve more effective biodiversity conservation in the states of Oaxaca, Michoacán and Guerrero by promoting the sustainable protection and use of biodiversity by indigenous communities and ejidos.
Mesoamerican Biological Corridor
The proposed project would promote conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity through the establishment of biological corridors in southeastern Mexico (states of Campeche, Chiapas, Qintana Roo, Tabasco, and Yucatan). The corridors will foster the equilibrium of land and coastal ecosystems, within a sustainable development approach. In addition to biodiversity significance, the proposed corridors will be selected to optimize connectivity among protected areas.
Critical Ecosystems Partnership Fund (CEPF)
The proposed project will support a partnership (the Critical Ecosystem Partnership Fund, CEPF) between the GEF, the World Bank, Conservation International (CI), bilateral organizations, private donors, governments and local communities. It will be targeted to assist conservation and sustainable use activities in 21 of the 25 most important “hot spots” in the planet. These areas harbor a disproportionately large amount of terrestrial biodiversity (potentially up to 70 percent of total) in relation to their size, are under substantive threat, and require urgent attention.
Hydrogen Fuel Cell Buses for Urban Transport
This project is designed to stimulate the development and utilization of fuel cell buses by supporting a significant operational test of fuel cell buses in the greater São Paulo Metropolitan Area. It will assist the Brazilian Government and the Empresa Metropolitana de Transportes Urbanos de São Paulo S/A in obtaining and operating 8 fuel cell buses in order to provide feedback to the technology developers and to gain meaningful experience in the operation and management of buses powered by fuel cell drive trains.
Sustainability of the National System of Protected Areas
The project’s global objective is to conserve biodiversity by strengthening the system of protected areas in Bolivia.
Conservation of the Biological Diversity of the Orinoco Delta Biosphere Reserve and Lower Orinoco River Basin
The Orinoco River Delta is a rich storehouse of wetland biodiversity. Although its natural integrity is largely intact, the Delta is increasingly threatened by hunting, fishing, and forest harvesting activities, and is potentially at risk from agricultural expansion, pollution, and development-induced hydrological perturbation.
Indigenous Management of Protected Areas in the Amazon
The project would support protected area (PA) management and natural resource management in the Peruvian Amazon particularly by indigenous peoples. The government is seeking to expand effective forest conservation in the Amazon region to cover approximately 10 percent of the biome through the establishment of up to 9 new protected areas covering at least 5.1 m hectares.
Coastal and Wetland Biodiversity Management at Cox's Bazar and Hakakuki Haor
In recent years, Bangladesh has demonstrated increased determination and commitment to address the chal-lenges of ensuring sustainable use and conservation of its natural resources, including its biodiversity. A number of specific policies, laws, action plans and strategies have been developed in this regard.
Mulanje Mountain Biodiversity Conservation Project
The project will promote conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity , and the more equitable sharing of benefits accruing from forest resources in the globally significant and unique ecosystems of the Mulanje massif. Specifically, GEF funds would support activities to incorporate biodiversity conservation objectives effectively into Reserve management.
Removal of Barriers to Biomass Power Generation and Co-generation
This project constitutes the first GEF partnership with the Japan Overseas Cooperation Fund, which has been recently integrated into the Japan Bank for International Cooperation. It aims to assist local commercial partners in their efforts to reduce annual GHG emissions in the order of up to 4 million tons of carbon equivalent annually over the medium term by accelerating the growth of biomass co-generation and power generation technologies to replace current fossil fuel consumption in Thailand.
