Water Resources and Biodiversity Management
Project Summary
The project’s main objective is to conserve aquatic biodiversity of global significance through mainstreaming biodiversity considerations in the management of water resources in Chile. The project will allow the GOC to: (i) incorporate biodiversity considerations in water management within 8 river-basins of global significance; (ii) enhance capacity to manage biodiversity within water management regimes, (iii) strengthen tools, policies, and technical baseline information required to manage aquatic biodiversity in Chile, and (iv) demonstrate successful models for mainstreaming aquatic biodiversity within integrated water management regimes.The project builds upon an IBRD loan designed to help Chile manage water resources holistically and in a decentralized way. As such, the project has been designed to maximize mainstreaming and long-term sustainability.
