13. The project will promote a landscape approach to the conservation of threatened ecosystems that will benefit all the mountain ranges of the country. It will specifically promote field interventions in 3 landscapes although the final sites will be confirmed during the PPG phase: (I) South side of the Sierra de Neyba; (II) Corridors that connect Valle Nuevo NP, La Humeadora NP, Barbacoa Reserve; and (III) Mid-watershed of Ozama River. These areas have been identified as containing particularly high levels of biodiversity of global importance, generating environmental goods and services of national importance, and being vulnerable to a number of threats of both anthropic and natural origin. Each of these areas contains a wide diversity of ecosystems, stretching from the coast up to the summits of the countryÂs most important mountain ranges. These areas are also of major importance for cocoa and coffee production, which constitute the mainstay of the local economy.
