Indigenous Community Integrated Ecosystems Management

closed

To prepare a GEF project with the goal to support an emerging network of indigenous communities engaged in integrated ecosystem management (IEM) in Central America. This would enhance the sustainability of human-managed systems that have been evolving for centuries, conserving high levels of biodiversity, but that are under increasing threat. The building of community networks across the region would create links between communities with established best practices examples of IEM and those with comparable environmental characteristics and similar potential for IEM.
