Five years of PA4LP work in the Caucasus Ecoregion
(Dec 21)
From 2007 to 2011 Protected Areas for a Living Planet (PA4LP) project has enabled governments, NGOs, and other stakeholders to come together to support the establishment of new PAs, the creation of management plans of existing PAs, the drafting of legislation and the coordination of efforts between countries on achieving CBD targets.
The results of the 2011 review of implementation of the CBD’s Programme of Work on Protected Areas (PoWPA) in the Caucasus Ecoregion are summarized in the specially produced
brochure. PoWPA implementation was reviewed in five countries of the Caucasus Ecoregion - Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Russia and Turkey. In these countries PA4LP supported strong national and regional level partnerships of donors, governments, scientists and civil society which assisted governments in delivering on CBD Protected Areas commitments. This partnership approach made a significant contribution to meeting CBD targets and strengthening of PA systems in the Caucasus.
