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.
Hon Mun Marine Protected Area Pilot Project
This project will support the conservation of critical marine biodiversity values at Hon Mun island and its surrounding waters, located off Nha Trang in Khanh Hoa Province, south-central Vietnam. This will be achieved through the development of a zoned, multiple-use marine protected area (MPA) that protects globally important examples of Vietnam’s best remaining coral reef, mangrove and seagrass ecosystems.
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.
Samar Island Biodiversity Project: Conservation and Sustainable Use of the Biodiversity of a Forested Protected Area
Samar island - the third largest island in the Philippine archipelago—contains some of the Philippines’ largest extant, unfragmented tracts of lowland rainforest. Although these forests are widely recognized to be an important repository of biodiversity, civil disorder problems in Samar have, until recently, hampered conservation management. Civil order has now been restored, providing a historic window of opportunity to expand the conservation estate.
Transhumance for Biodiversity Conservation in the Southern High Atlas
The project will conserve globally significant biodiversity in the southern flank of the High Atlas through an adaptive management scheme integrating pastoral range management with biodiversity conservation in a grazing-dependent ecosystem. Simultaneous global and local benefits are expected, which would ensure both a demonstration effect and a self-sustaining local process after project completion.
Transformation of the Rural Photovoltaics (PV) Market
Promote solar home systems in the rural market through policy support, awareness raising, private sector development, and microcredit (although most systems are expected to be cash sales). No captial cost subsidies are utilitized. Project also includes social services--schools and hospitals-- and some limited productive uses.
Integrated Marine and Coastal Resource Management
The proposed project will strengthen the conservation and management of globally significant marine and coastal biodiversity in Senegal. Consequently, it will answer priorities identified in the National Biodiversity Strategy and the National Environment Action Plan. The project’s specific objectives will be to: 1. Strengthen the management of existing coastal and marine protected areas; 2. Develop and implement participatory systems for managing biodiversity in a sustainable manner. 3.
Integrated Coastal Resources Management Project
The project seeks to improve the management and conditions of coastal and marine resources and biodiversity, and to reduce poverty in coastal communities that in a cyclical fashion contribute to further resource depletion and degradation.
Conservation of Medicinal and Herbal Plants
( This review sheet should be read along with the previous review done 11.10.99 and bilaterals held on November 10, 2000). The overall objective of the project is to support the conservation, management, cultivation and sustainable utilization of medicinal and herbal plants in Jordan while ensuring effective in situ protection of threatened habitats and ecosystems.
Tonle Sap Conservation Project
The project would assist the Government of Cambodia to conserve and sustainable manage biodiversity and its natural resources in one of the world's moist important biodiversity sites. Proposed project objectives are: (i) to support economic development and natural resources management; (ii) to strengthen community-based natural resources management systems for rural development; and (iii) to conserve globally significant biodiversity through protection and/or sustainable use of resources in threatened components of the ecosystem and critical habitats.
