Strategic Direction 7:
Reinforce and sustain the conservation gains achieved as a result of the initial 5-year CEPF investment in this region
Strengthening of the Management and Financial Sustainability of Key Protected Areas along the Southern Inter-Oceanic Highway in Madre de Dios, PeruMitigate the impacts of the Southern Inter-Oceanic Highway along priority sites in the Peruvian side of the Vilcabamba-Amboró Corridor. Support community-based management committees to strengthen governance in the protected areas of Alto Purus, Bahuaja-Sonene and Tambopata. The project also supports two long-term sustainable funding initiatives through the preparation of Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD) projects.
Strengthening Connectivity Along Peru’s Inter-Oceanic Highway in Madre de Dios through the Sustainable Use of Natural Resources and Economic Development Mitigate the impact of the Inter-Oceanic Highway in Madre de Dios, particularly in those biological corridors identified as high priorities for conservation based on their value for hotspot-wide connectivity and proximity to protected areas. This grant will support Brazil nut management and production, agroforestry and livestock management along the Manuripe-Iberia and Puerto Maldonado-Santa Rosa corridors.
Fostering Stakeholder Collaboration and Monitoring the Impacts and the Conservation Actions Around Infrastructure Projects in the Vilcabamba-Amboró Conservation CorridorEnable effective collaboration at a bi-national scale between high-level policymakers, donors and civil society organizations to mitigate the impacts of infrastructure development in the corridor. Activities include monitoring land-use change (deforestation) associated with road construction and ensuring compliance with safeguard policies within CEPF’s portfolio in this region.
Promoting Civil Society Participation and Field-Level Monitoring to Mitigate the Environmental and Social Impacts of the Peruvian Inter-Oceanic Highway in the Vilcabamba–Amboró Conservation Corridor Support Peruvian organizations in their efforts to mitigate the impacts emerging from the construction of the Inter-Oceanic Highway through areas of high biodiversity in the Vilcabamba–Amboró Conservation Corridor. The project seeks to improve public policies and development plans; conduct a public awareness campaign; and support field-based socioeconomic and environmental monitoring to assess highway impacts.
Mitigating the Potential Environmental and Social Impacts Generated by the Northern Corridor Road Construction Project in BoliviaImplement measures to mitigate the potential impacts arising from the construction of the Northern Corridor Road through the Vilcabamba-Amboró Conservation Corridor. Components include supporting civil society participation in the management and monitoring of highway impacts and of other large regional-scale infrastructure schemes, strengthening management capacity and community support of target protected areas, and establishing mechanisms for financial sustainability.
Impact Mitigation for Biodiversity Conservation in High Risk Areas of the Northern Corridor Highway in Bolivia Mitigate the impacts stemming from the construction of the Northern Corridor Highway along highly vulnerable segments lying along Pilon Lajas and Madidi protected areas by working with 20 communities to build eco-enterprises, strengthen community capacity and organizations, and introduce and/or strengthen agroforestry for maintaining and expanding forest cover.
