ABSTRACT

Please briefly explain in two to three sentences why this project is important to conserving biodiversity, addressing climate change, securing livelihoods and contributing toward the achievement of area-based Aichi Targets of the Strategic Plan for Biodiversity 2011-2020

The main objective of the Ecosystem Based Vision of Biodiversity Conservation for the Amazon Biome initiative is to support the regional implementation of the CBD’s Programme of Work on Protected Areas (PoWPA) in the Amazon region and the achievement of relevant Aichi Targets from the 2011-2020 Strategic Plan for Biodiversity agreed in Nagoya Japan at the 10^th Conference of the Parties of the Convention on Biological Diversity.
In order to achieve these objectives, it is necessary that each of the eight countries and one territory herewith represented by REDPARQUES make further progress on their own PoWPA Action Plans towards consolidating their existing systems of protected areas, their reserves and indigenous territories and their transboundary conservation areas, according to Decision VII/28, and finally that they agree and support the advancement in strengthening technical elements that are broadly applicable and relevant for protected area management the whole Amazon biome.
In terms of conserving biodiversity, addressing climate change, securing livelihoods and contributing toward the achievement of area-based Aichi Targets, this project is highly important because it seeks for well governed and effectively managed protected areas (Target 11) in order to safeguard both habitats and populations of species and for delivering important ecosystem services (Target 6). Furthermore, this project is aligned with Targets 5, 14 and 15, and there is the need for collaboration between neighboring protected areas and the adoption of mechanisms and commitments to strengthen the protected areas systems as natural solutions to climate change, in synergy with the CBD and other conventions according to CBD Decision XI/24.

SECTION II: LINK WITH THE 2011-2020 STRATEGIC PLAN FOR BIODIVERSITY
AND THE AICHI TARGETS
LifeWeb facilitates financing that contributes toward the achievement of the area-based Aichi Targets in the 2011-2020 Strategic Plan for Biodiversity. Please indicate below how the proposed project contributes toward these targets. Please be specific and attach supporting documentation as necessary in Section V.
AICHI TARGET 5

“By 2020, the rate of loss of all natural habitats, including forests, is at least halved and where feasible brought close to zero, and degradation and fragmentation is significantly reduced.” (CBD Quick Guide to Aichi Target 5 EN, ES, FR)
Please indicate how this project contributes toward achieving Aichi Target 5 (if applicable)

Indeed, this is one of the most project related targets because it refers to preventing the loss of all natural habitats especially those of high biodiversity, including forests, which is the main area represented in the Amazon Biome.
Additionally in order to deliver the main Project’s objective, which is to support the regional implementation of the CBD’s Programme of Work for Protected Areas (PoWPA) specifically in the Amazon region, all the involved actors have set up some short term (1-4 years) strategic actions and activities at the regional level linked to their own PoWPA Action Plans. Such conservation initiatives have been already recognized at high level meetings such as CBD COP 10 and in important documents such as the Global Biodiversity Outlook 3.
By reaching the Project’s main objective to build a shared ecosystem vision of biological and cultural diversity conservation of the Amazon Biome, contributions to an efficient management of the PA systems and maintenance of goods and services, as well as to the Biome’s integrity, functionality and resilience against natural and anthropomorphic effects and pressures under a climate change context will be provided.

AICHI TARGET 9

“By 2020, invasive alien species and pathways are identified and prioritized, priority species are controlled or eradicated, and measures are in place to manage pathways to prevent their introduction and establishment.” (CBD Quick Guide to Aichi Target 9 EN)
Please indicate how this project contributes toward achieving Aichi Target 9 (if applicable)

Not applicable.

AICHI TARGET 10

“By 2015, the multiple anthropogenic pressures on coral reefs, and other vulnerable ecosystems impacted by climate change or ocean acidification are minimized, so as to maintain their integrity and functioning.” (CBD Quick Guide to Aichi Target 10 EN)
Please indicate how this project contributes toward achieving Aichi Target 10 (if applicable)

Not applicable.

AICHI TARGET 11

“By 2020, at least 17 per cent of terrestrial and inland water, and 10 per cent of coastal and marine areas, especially areas of particular importance for biodiversity and ecosystem services, are conserved through effectively and equitably managed, ecologically representative and well connected systems of protected areas and other effective area-based conservation measures, and integrated into the wider landscapes and seascapes.” (CBD Quick Guide to Aichi Target 11 EN, ES)
Please indicate how this project contributes toward achieving Aichi Target 11 (if applicable)

This project contributes to achieve Aichi Target 11 because it seeks for well governed and effectively managed protected areas in order to safeguard both habitats and populations of species and for delivering important ecosystem services. Additionally, this project aims to consolidate the portfolio definition process of priority conservation areas from a regional perspective, integrating the ecosystem-based approach as well as other measures of conservation in the larger-scale landscape.
Other sociocultural and economic elements are considered in the analysis of social participation and equitable governance in a bid to strengthen decision-making processes with support and direct contribution to conservation from indigenous and local communities.

AICHI TARGET 12

“By 2020 the extinction of known threatened species has been prevented and their conservation status, particularly of those most in decline, has been improved and sustained.” (CBD Quick Guide to Aichi Target 12 EN, ES, FR)
Please indicate how this project contributes toward achieving Aichi Target 12 (if applicable)

The Ecosystem Based Vision of Biodiversity Conservation for the Amazon Biome looks forward to protect more than 10% of the world’s known species, including more than 100,000 invertebrates, 40,000 plants and trees, and 3,000 fish), with (macro) species new to science appearing almost every day. Since the proposed project’s main focus is to protect natural habitats, the conservation status of those species that comprise those habitats will therefore be improved and the likelihood of their extinction will be lowered.

AICHI TARGET 13

“By 2020, the genetic diversity of cultivated plants and farmed and domesticated animals and of wild relatives, including other socio-economically as well as culturally valuable species, is maintained, and strategies have been developed and implemented for minimizing genetic erosion and safeguarding their genetic diversity.” (CBD Quick Guide to Aichi Target 13 EN)
Please indicate how this project contributes toward achieving Aichi Target 13 (if applicable)

Not applicable.

AICHI TARGET 14

“By 2020, ecosystems that provide essential services, including services related to water, and contribute to health, livelihoods and well-being, are restored and safeguarded, taking into account the needs of women, indigenous and local communities, and the poor and vulnerable.” (CBD Quick Guide to Aichi Target 14 EN)
Please indicate how this project contributes toward achieving Aichi Target 14 (if applicable)

In order to achieve this Aichi Target, the participation of indigenous and local communities is essential. Therefore, this project proposes actions such as sharing experiences on sustainable use and management of biodiversity goods and services (water security, ecotourism, etc.) in protected areas and conservation areas to improve the standards of living of their populations. This is also complemented by strengthening the capacities of institutions, indigenous, Afro-descendants and local communities in cross-border protected areas.
Provision, regulation and cultural services are to be guaranteed with the support to this project in terms of water provision, preventing degradation/desertification, landscape integrity preservation and traditional knowledge protection, as an integrated approach for ecosystem-based adaptation to address climate change.
Additionally, some measures towards protecting ecosystems may rely upon setting up an Amazonian database of those endangered ecosystems (e.g. based on IUCN red list). This should lead to better knowledge about which ecosystem services (including freshwater production, carbon storage, ecotourism potential, etc.), climate change and socioeconomic aspects are susceptible and therefore priorities for intervention.

AICHI TARGET 15

“By 2020, ecosystem resilience and the contribution of biodiversity to carbon stocks have been enhanced, through conservation and restoration, including restoration of at least 15 per cent of degraded ecosystems, thereby contributing to climate change mitigation and adaptation and to combating desertification.” (CBD Quick Guide to Aichi Target 15 EN, ES, FR)
Please indicate how this project contributes toward achieving Aichi Target 15 (if applicable)

Under the current context in which the project is defined where climate change is occurring, specific actions have been identified to achieve Target 15. One of them is to develop and implement monitoring and modelling systems of impacts of key drivers and threats (infrastructure, climate change, agriculture and mining) on protected areas.
Once this is achieved, it will be possible to design and implement training programs on impact assessment, the development of monitoring plans, mitigation and strategic environmental assessment (which makes possible the measurement of environmental and ecosystem indicators of key drivers and threats that allow for decision making), in order to carry out a regional analysis on ecosystem services and the role of Protected Areas for adaptation and mitigation and inform decision making.
Finally, in this project’s last phase, pilot programs on adaptation and mitigation will be implemented that recognize the positive impact of Protected Areas to reduce the negative impacts of climate change, through strategies such as ecosystem based adaptation and/or REDD+.
