Project Development Objective 1. Project development objective: (see Annex 1) The project's development objectives are: (i) to ensure biodiversity conservation by increasing the involvement of civil society institutions and the private sector in planning and sustainable management of at least five protected areas (PAs) of the Peruvian System of Natural Protected Areas (SINANPE), and one PA to be created during project implementation; and (ii) to obtain sustainability for the financing of recurrent costs in SINANPE. The PAs are: Tambopata-Candamo National Reserve, Bahuaja-Sonene National Park, Salinas and Aguada Blanca National Reserve, Huascaran National Park, Manglares de Tumbes National Sanctuary, and Morona Pastaza prospective PA. The first five PAs were selected using criteria explained in Annex 11. Morona Pastaza was selected by INRENA and cofinancier KfW. During project implementation additional PAs could be included. SINANPE's financial sustainability will be increased by an additional endowment of US$6 million to the Peruvian National Trust Fund for Protected Areas (PROFONANPE) endowment fund which will allow an additional US$250,000 per year for recurrent cost financing. A strategy for long-term financing of SINANPE will help to channel these resources. The project will build upon the experience gained during first GEF Grant to PROFONANPE, supporting the Trust Fund's establishment and development of its capacity to attract financial resources for conservation. Over the last years PROFONANPE has ensured the funding of the basic operational costs in twelve PAs. One important instrument for project implementation will be the equal participation of women in planning, management of PAs and monitoring and evaluating of PA management. The global objective of the project is to contribute to the conservation of biodiversity of global importance. Peru, in terms of its total number of species, levels of endemism, and range of habitats, is considered to be one of the world's great centers of biological diversity. Peru has been classified as one of earth's seventeen mega-diverse countries. In terms of species, Peru leads the world in numbers of butterflies, orchids, and endemic invertebrates. It also accounts for a total of 460 mammals and 1705 bird species, or 10 and 19 percent, respectively, of the world's total. As an indicator of its habitat diversity, Peru has been documented to have more life zones than any other country on earth with 84 of the world's 110 life zones identified in Holdridge's Life Zones System. In terms of its agro-biodiversity, the country is considered to be one of the five world centers of origin of cultivated plants and has an immense natural germplasm resource of useful wild species. In part, this rich endowment can be attributed to Peru's 675,000 km' of Amazon rainforest (including the Peruvian and Bolivian Yungas), the largest continuous forest on earth representing 40% of all remaining tropical forests

OFFICE MEMORANDUM DATE: December 19, 2000 TO: Mr. Mohamed El-Ashry, CEO/Chairman, GEF FROM: Lars Vidaeus, GEF Executive Coordinator EXTENSION: 34188 SUBJECT: Peru – Indigenous Management of Natural Protected Areas in the Peruvian Amazon Final GEF CEO Endorsement 1. Please find attached the electronic file of the Project Appraisal Document (PAD) for the above-mentioned project for review prior to circulation Council and your final endorsement. This project was approved for Work Program entry at the May 1999 Council meeting under streamlined Council review procedures. 2. The PAD is fully consistent with the objectives and content of the proposal endorsed by Council as part of the May 1999 Work Program. Minor changes regarding implementation emphasis, clustering of components, and financing plan have been introduced during final project preparation and appraisal. Information on these minor modifications, and how GEFSEC, STAP and Council comments received at Work Program entry have been addressed, are outlined below. Implementation Emphasis 3. As conceived at the time of Work Program entry, the project was going to support the creation and management of four new protected areas (Santiago-Comaina, Gueppi and Alto Purus, El Sira) with the participation of indigenous organizations. A fifth area, Pacaya- Samiria, had already been created as a National Reserve, and was to receive project support for improved management, as part of the Government’s effort to place 10% of the Peruvian Amazon under protection. Following Council approval of the Project Brief in May 1999, GOP demonstrated its commitment to project objectives by establishing three new Reserved Zones (Santiago-Comaina, Gueppi and Alto Purus), surpassing the 10% target.

    INTERNATIONAL TROPICAL TIMBER ORGANIZATION ITTO PROJECT PROPOSAL TITLE: STRENGTHENING MANGROVE ECOSYSTEM CONSERVATION IN THE BIOSPHERE RESERVE OF NORTHWESTERN PERU SERIAL NUMBER: PD 601/11 Rev.3 (F) COMMITTEE: REFORESTATION AND FOREST MANAGEMENT SUBMITTED BY: GOVERNMENT OF PERU ORIGINAL LANGUAGE: SPANISH SUMMARY The key problem to be addressed is the “insufficient number of participatory mechanisms for the conservation of mangrove forest ecosystems in the Piura and Tumbes regions (northern Peru)”. Its main causes are: (i) Limited use of legal powers by regional and local governments for the conservation of mangrove ecosystems; ii) low level of forest management and administration for the conservation of mangrove ecosystems; and (iii) limited development of financial sustainability strategies for mangrove forests. These problems in turn lead to low living standards for the communities living in mangrove ecosystem areas and to the loss of biodiversity. In order to address this situation, the specific objective of this project is to “increase the number of participatory mechanisms for mangrove forest protection and conservation in the regions of Tumbes and Piura” with the development objective of “contributing to improving the standard of living of the population in mangrove ecosystem areas in the regions of Tumbes and Piura, Northwest Peru”. In order to achieve these objectives, the following outputs are proposed: 1) Adequate use of legal powers by regional and local governments for the conservation of mangrove forests; 2) Improved level

  • Monitoring Ecosystems and Biodiversity at a Continental Scale—A Proposal for South America
    Monitoring Ecosystems and Biodiversity at a Continental Scale—A Proposal for South America Dr. Xavier Silva, Director, IDB-TNC Ecoregional Project, South America. Teacher and Lecturer, San Francisco de Quito University. Board Member, OÏKOS Foundation Abstract—A monitoring system plan is being developed in South America to assess critically endangered ecoregions. The system will be based on a previous ecosystem and biodiversity inventory developed through a large gap analysis program in five South American ecoregions. The monitoring system will include three main elements: (1) Landscape Ecology: vegetation cover, fragmentation and deforestation, infrastruc- ture (road, dams, pipelines); (2) Biological guidelines: species richness, endemism, endangered species and species of a particular interest; and (3) Conservation Policy and Socio-Economic guidelines: national protected areas systems, conservation policies, human population on important areas, main economic activities and other. Such a sys- tem is an important need for governments and private organizations in South America, especially to detect critical sites and socio-political issues before the environmental problems become too large. Introduction and Background Among the results, 6,473 species of flora and fauna have been analyzed (each one with a map indicating it’s Environmental surveillance at a continental scale is potential geographic distribution), and over 6,500 the- an important conservation requirement in vast territo- matic maps have been produced, indicating vegetation ries, such as in South America, where large and diverse types, centers of high diversity and endemism, current ecoregions are being altered by a number of unsustainable and potential threats, forest fragmentation, infrastructure, location of protected areas, and basic socio-economical development practices (Busch and Trexler 2003, World information.
