Project Detail |
This project aims to improve biodiversity and key ecosystem health along Honduras’ Atlantic and Pacific coasts using nature-based solutions. It responds directly to Canada’s commitment to the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework to safeguard and restore biodiversity. The project focuses on people dependent on these ecosystems, particularly women, youth, and Indigenous and Afro-descendant peoples, whose livelihoods remain threatened by climate change, habitat loss, and ecosystem degradation. Project activities include: (1) strengthening protected areas governance and management; (2) restoring ecosystems and recovering threatened species through nature-based solutions; (3) improving agroforestry, agriculture, ecotourism and cattle ranching sustainability through model nature-based solutions; (4) strengthening public sector biodiversity policy framework; and (5) enhancing women’s empowerment and Indigenous people’s rights. |
