About this project
Description
The project is designed primarily to support GEF Biodiversity Strategic Program BD-3 on strengthening terrestrial PA networks. The project will ensure that community-conserved forest areas are integrated into the national PA system, increasing the national PA estate by at least 1,00,000ha of IUCN Category VI-equivalent protected areas. By strengthening revenue streams to support community-based conservation, the project also responds to BD SP-1 on the sustainable financing of PA systems.The project also supports the GEF Pacific Alliance for Sustainability programme, under the Forestry and Terrestrial Protected Areas component, as described above.The implementation of this project document will help to develop effective natural resource management and financing systems for community conservation areas in Papua New Guinea. The project will work on the following key components in order to succeed with the implementation and execution of the project: 1) Enabling national environment for a community-based sustainable national system of Protected Areas (PAs) containing globally and nationally significant biodiversity; 2) Identification and establishment of new PAs in the country; 3) Undertaking Conservation Area (CA) management planning and signing partnership agreements with communities; and 4) Providing capacity development and support for implementation of CA Management Plans;
Objectives
