Wildlife and Protected Areas Conservation

The project will protect biological diversity through the designation, establishment and management of priority protected areas, the protection of associated wildlife, and the planning and implementation of community participatory programs in and around protected areas. Components include the establishment and management of at least four protected areas (NBCAs), technical assistance and conservation training with particular emphasis on the recruitment of NGOs for community mobilization, environmental monitoring and evaluation, and the design of a conservation trust fund for long-term financing.
