About this project
Description
The objectives of this project are to improve the sustainability of the protected area system in Dominica, to strengthen the management of Morne Trois Pitons National Park (MTPNP) and establish a buffer zone around the area, and to enhance the cross-sector enabling environment for integrated landscape management. The establishment of a buffer zone will improve the integrity of MTPNP while making it the core conservation area within a functional productive landscape.
Objectives
To demonstrate a model for effective integrated landscape management encompassing the strengthening of an existing protected area (Morne Trois Pitons National Park) and establishment of its buffer zone in order to reduce threats to biodiversity and ecological functioning.
