About this project
Description
The project strategy will have a nationwide impact triggered by national policies and action on the ground. It aims to deliver Global Environmental Benefits by promoting a dynamic multi-sectorial management process of official environmental information, in order to increase collective action for the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity through sustainable land-use management in rural and urban landscapes. This premise will be tested in the production landscapes of La Amistad Pacifico Conservation Area (ACLAP) and the Inter-Urban Biological Corridor of MarÃa Aguilar River in San Jose (MAIBC) covering 619,162 hectares (449,546 hectares of production landscape within ACLAP, and 169,616 hectares of biological corridor in MAIBC).
Objectives
To mainstream biodiversity conservation, sustainable land management and carbon sequestration objectives into production landscapes and urban biological corridors of Costa Rica.
