Executive Summary Executive Summary From mid-July through the third week in September, 2000, a team of multidisciplinary specialists from Chemonics International, through the BIOFOR IQC, conducted an assessment of SO5 activities to provide the Mission with recommendations for a new program strategy and results framework. At approximately the same time, another team from International Resources Group (IRG), through the EPIQ IQC, conducted a separate but closely related assessment, focusing especially on environmental policy and the Guatemalan Protected Areas System Network (SIGAP). Both teams studied project documentation and interviewed partners, stakeholders, clients, and personnel from national and international agencies in order to assess and analyze progress toward the Mission’s SO5 goals and provide recommendations for a new project strategy and results framework. The Chemonics and EPIQ teams worked closely together to produce a coordinated and complementary set of recommendations for the new environmental sector strategy and results framework that are included in this report. The Chemonics team took the lead in the development of these documents and the preparation of this report. The EPIQ team authored the pieces on environmental policy in Section II Summary of Analyses, Conclusions and Recommendations, Section III Proposed Strategy, and Section IV Results Framework Critique. The rest of the report—including the annexes, which provide more detailed findings and recommendations— was authored by the Chemonics team. Per their agreement with USAID/G-CAP, IRG will also provide a separate report with further details and analysis as their work progresses. The Chemonics and EPIQ teams also exchanged findings and coordinated with a third consulting team from the Academy for Educational Development’s GreenCOM project. The GreenCOM team was asked to provide an assessment of the Maya Biosphere Project’s (MBP) educational strategy. The GreenCOM team will submit its results in a separate report per their agreement with USAID/G-CAP. This Executive Summary is divided into three parts: Assessment Findings, Proposed Strategy and Results Framework Critique. Assessment Findings The MBP can be credited with five main achievements over the last decade: 1. Helping to gain public and government recognition and acceptance of the Maya Biosphere Reserve (MBR), its external boundaries, its internal zoning scheme, and the various management regimes employed therein. 2. Slowing the rate of deforestation within the MBR. 3. Promoting and strengthening coadministration agreements between the Government of Guatemala and environmental NGOs. 4. Creating an incipient community of environmental NGOs in the Petén. 5. Creating and legitimizing community forest concessions. Major observations by management zone and themes, as outlined in the Chemonics and EPIQ Teams’ scopes of work include: Protected Areas and Biodiversity · There are no measurements for conservation of biodiversity in the MBR, though it is an explicitly stated component of the SO5. · The original borders of the two main parks, Laguna del Tigre and Sierra del Lacandon, are indefensible with currently allotted resources. · The central and eastern portions of the Reserve—which are the least altered by human activities and which may be the most biologically diverse—have received very little attention or investment from the MBP.

  • 2010 Annual Report 20102010 Annualannual Reportreport
    WILDLIFE RESCUE AND CONSERVATION ASSOCIATION 2010 Annual Report 20102010 AnnualAnnual ReportReport Like people around the world, in 2010 we looked on as natural disasters of biblical proportions circled the globe: some, such as floods in Australia, Pakistan and Colombia, seemingly caused by climate change and La Niña; and some, random tectonic events that left hundreds of thousands of dead in their wake and exhausted global relief resources, like the earthquake in Haiti. Suddenly, the Mayan prediction that 2012 will see a major tumultuous transition on earth seems plausible. Here in Guatemala, we had our own event: on May 29th a one-two combination of the eruption of the Pacaya Volcano and the arrival of Tropical Storm Agatha hit the country, killing over 200 people and knocking out bridges throughout the country. As with other disasters around the world, Agatha stretched relief resources thin, further isolating marginalized human communities and using up resources that could otherwise be used for conservation. But Agatha was also an occasion for Guatemalans to show their resilience and solidarity, and though infrastructure remains damaged, rebuilding continues. As if the threats of landslides and floods wasn’t enough, the biodiversity of Guatemala is also facing new threats from a series of megaprojects being proposed or carried out in different parts of the country. According to preliminary studies, up to 15% of the content of the black, volcanic sand on the Pacific coast of the country is iron, and a joint Chinese-Australian consortium is exploring these deposits to determine the feasibility of mining the sand. The Central American Technological Corridor is a “dry canal” that hopes to compete with the Panama Canal to transport cargo across the isthmus with the construction of a port on the Pacific coast of Guatemala connected by rail, highway and pipelines to Puerto Barrios on the Caribbean Sea.
