Renewable Energy and Forest Conservation: Sustainable Harvest and Processing of Coffee and Allspice
This project links initiatives to preserve biodiversity and limit the expansion of the agricultural frontier in the buffer zone surrounding the Bosawas Reserve. The proposed OP#6 component would address the identified barriers to renewable energy adoption by providing the technical extension services needed to configure, install, maintain, and operate a decentralized dry beneficio using Solar/Biomass Coffee Drying Systems.
Albarradas in Coastal Ecuador: Rescuing Ancient Knowledge on Sustainable Use of Biodiversity
This proposal combines archeology and ecology to develop an understanding of how ancient peoples in the coastal zone of Ecuador coped with the El Nino phenomenon. The move to adapt technologies to a more modern system could help to conserve the wild relatives more effectively.
The Greater Berbak-Sembilang Integrated Coastal Wetlands Conservation Project
This project will: (1) prepare and implement a management plan for the Greater Berbak-Sembilang Ecosystem, based on biodiversity conservation values and socio-economic realities; (2) expand the National Parks within the ecosystem to more effectively protect the entire ecosystem; (3) strengthen national park management; and (4) increase community and NGO involvement in park management and biodiversity conservation.
Valdivian Forest Zone: Private-Public Mechanisms for Biodiversity Conservation
The proposed MSP would support the development of a system of public/private protected areas, starting with 4-5 sites of recognized global importance.
Removal of Barriers to Rural Electrification with Renewable Energy
There are an estimated 170,000 unelectrified households in Chile's rural areas. Since many of these households are in isolated areas, beyond the cost-effective reach of the electricity grid, community or individual systems will be necessary to electrify them. While gasoline and diesel generators are traditional options for electrifying isolated areas, renewable energy technologies, including photovoltaics, wind and hydro, could be less costly in certain locations.
Barrier Removal for Efficient Lighting Products and Systems
The project aims at addressing identified market barriers to wide spread use of energy efficient lighting in China by broadening the China Green Lights start-up efforts. The overall objective of this project is to save energy and protect the environment by reducing lighting energy use in China in 2010 by 10% relative to a constant efficiency scenario.
Integrated Ecosystem Management in 3 Priority Ecoregions
The project will protect biodiversity and sustain vital ecological functions within three globally significant ecoregions: the Tehuantepec Moist Forest, the Pacific Dry Tropical Forests, and the Sierra Madre del Sur Pine-Oak Forest. These ecoregions contain a range of forest communities including pine forest, pine-oak forests, cloud forest, tropical rain forest, tropical dry forest and mangroves, which provide habitat for native fauna, act as carbon reservoirs, and protect watersheds.
Integrated Conservation of Priority Globally Significant Migratory Bird Wetland Habitat
The project will assist the government of Kazakhstan to address the underlyiung caus=es and mainthreats to specific wetland sites for long-term biodiversity conservation. It will address activities related to; (a) a national integrated biodiversity conservation and management policy and regulatory frameworks, a well ppanned effective protected area operations, increased emphasis on management and learning among management stakeholders and increased awareness and support among local communities; and specific sustainable use activities in productive landscaopes around three priority sites.
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.
