BIOPAMA 2 ObjectivesOverall objective Improve the long-term conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity and natural resources in Africa, Caribbean and Pacific regions in protected areas and surrounding communities through better use and monitoring of information and capacity development on management and governance.

Specific Objective 1 Reference Information Systems for biodiversity and protected areas management are maintained and enhanced at Global, ACP and Regional Levels, combining best-available data with query, analysis and reporting functions tailored to the specific needs of priority conservation landscapes in ACP countries. This will also contribute to better informed climate change mitigation and adaptation actions.

BIOPAMA 2 ObjectivesSpecific Objective 2

The Regional Observatories (ROs), mandated by regional institutions and hosting the RRIS, are used by stakeholders to improve planning and decision-making for biodiversity conservation and sustainable natural resource management and governance.

Specific Objective 3 (Site-based actions)On the basis of management and governance priorities, planning and implementation of biodiversity conservation and ecosystem services and sustainable natural resource management activities are strengthened through targeted actions in priority conservation landscapes in insular (including SIDS islands countries) and continental territories in the ACP region. Co-benefits on human well-being as well as on mitigation and adaptation actions will be explicitly sought whenever possible.

Implementation on the ground

Case Study: Santa Rosa (Cauca)

Focus on: - Visualization of Environmental Services coming from the Protected

Areas- Understanding how national budgeting for municipalities could

reflect the value of environmental services (including climate change)

- Integration into the local land use planning

Case Study: San Juan Nepomuceno (Bolívar)

Focus on:- Proximity of urban area to the protected area- Opportunity for tourism revenues (emblematic species such as jaguar)- Importance of land use planning in the conservation of the Protected Area

and its contribution in the region.
