| Description | In the face of accelerated land degradation in the drylands, the unique bio-diversity of this biome and the livelihood of dryland residents are increasingly threatened, human migration and specific loss are a non-documented phenomenon. This increases the likelihood of migration, deepening poverty, and further species habitat loss. Consistent with GEF OP 1, this project will provide the GEF and its partners, IGOs' policymakers, NGOs, and affected communities with the 'Indicator Model for Dryland Ecosystems', a tool to identify vulnerable dryland ecosystems, and vulnerable communities, develop appropriate management plans, and monitor the direction of change following the implementation of these plans. Thro' tech. transfer to resource planners and managers, NGOs and community groups, this project will compliment and extend existing activities as a unifying framework for targeting and evaluating their actions in the face of arid land degradation that is not currently available. |
