| Description | The project which takes an ecosystem approach to biodiversity conservation along the Pacific coast of Colombia and Panama, operates as two nationally executed projects, mutually complementary but administratively and operationally independent. The principal objectives, of both the Colombia and Panama components, are the incorporation of biodiversity concerns into existing national development plans, the provision of scientific information for planning, land-use and the establishment of appropriate legal and framework, along with the identification of alternative production methods and uses for the sustainable use of biological resources. The project takes a participatory and multisectoral approach towards the fulfillment of its long-term objectives. |
