  1. BIODIVERSITY

  2. Current Biodiversity portfolio: size, value 25 PIRs 2008 18 21 PIRs 2007 14 11 11 14 12 PIRs 2006 9 PIRs 2005

  3. Current Portfolio: Impacts • improving the management effectiveness of83 protected areaswith a total area of over14 millionhectares; • 7 new PAs established covering1.2 millionhectares • mainstreaming biodiversity into9 millionhectares;working with agriculture (10), fishery (1), tourism (9), forestry (6), mining (1), NTFP (1).

  4. Progress towards achieving target indicators:

  5. METT conducted in 52 sites in 12 countries: 49% scores improvement

  6. Strategy and Action Plan

  7. BIODIVERSITY FOCAL AREA GOAL: Conservation and Sustainable Use of biodiversity and maintenance of the ecosystem goods and services that biodiversity provides to society Strategic Objective 4: Capacity Building on Access and Benefit Sharing Strategic Objective 3: Safeguarding Biodiversity Strategic Objective 2: Mainstreaming bd conservation in production landscapes/seascapes and sectors Strategic Objective 1: Catalyzing Sustainability of Protected Area Systems • Strategic Programs: • Capacity Building on Access and Benefit Sharing • Strategic Programs: • Biosafety • Invasive Alien Species • Strategic Programs: • Policy and Regulatory Framework • Fostering Markets for Ecosystem Goods and service • Strategic Programs: • Sustainable Financing • Marine Protected Areas • Terrestrial Protected Areas OPERATIONAL PROGRAMS STILL VALID IN GEF IV (1, 2, 3, 4 and 13)

  8. Strategic Objective 1

  9. Strategic Objective 2

  10. PROGRAMMING PRIORITIESfor GEF IV • Protected Area Financing: Serbia, Ukraine, Bulgaria, Georgia • Steppe Conservation through PA or mainstreaming approach in: Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Russia • Expansion of Marine Protected Areas: Russia, Turkey, Montenegro • Expansion of PAS to cover unrepresented ecosystems: Turkmenistan, Russia, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Carpathians, Moldova • Mainstreaming biodiversity into: spatial planning (Bosnia), fishery: (Kyrgyzstan); agriculture: (Tajikistan);

  11. Submissions Schedule for 2007: MSPs: PIFs (8) and Briefs (5) • March:Bulgaria: Grasslands • July: Turkey: Forests; Bosnia: Peatlands; Kyrgyzstan: Fishery; Macedonia: PA System • November - December: Uzbekistan: SPAs; Georgia: PA Financing, Montenegro: PA System; Turkmenistan: PA System, Romania: Carpathians PA , Bosnia, Turkey and Kyrgyzstan (if PIF approved). • Still fighting for Lithuania and Latvia’s eligibility for the Baltic MPA FSPs: PIFs (5) and CEO endorsement (2) • 15 August: Russia: Komi; Ukraine: PA Financing • 15 October: Kazakhstan: Steppe; Russia: MPAs • 15 November: Tajikistan: Agrobiodiversity; Turkey: MPAs (pending on response for forests) • December: for CEO endorsement: Russia: Komi and Ukraine: PA finance (if PIF approved)

  12. Submissions Schedule for 2008: MSPs: PIFs • January: Serbia: PA financing, Moldova: PA System IF INTERESTED IN NEW PIFs January – July is the best time – before the big submission start • After July: Bulgaria: PA Finance FSPs: PIFs • April WP: Kazakhstan: Steppe; Russia: MPAs, Tajikistan: Agrobiodiversity; Turkey: MPAs – will be considered For CEO endorsement (if PIF approved) • February: Uzbekistan: SPA, • July: Georgia: PA finance • September: Kazak Steppe, Russia MPA • November: Turkmenistan: PAS • December: Turkey: MPAs, Bulgaria: PA Finance

  13. NO PROGRAMMING FOR GEF IV: • Albania – might work for second part of GEF IV, as WB took the first; • Armenia – PA opportunities • Azerbaijan – PA opportunities • Belarus – mainstreaming opportunities IF INTERESTED LET’S DISCUSS

  14. COMPULSORY INDICATORS FOR PA PROJECTS • METT • Financial Scorecard • Institutional Capacity Scorecard • Number of new protected area established (if SP2 or SP3) • Number of hectares of improved conservation management

  15. How to write a PIF ON BIODIVERSITY? • Global significant biodiversity • Threats • Why is the BD important to the government? • Opportunities: Government strategy to protect biodiversity • Normative solution – ideal • Barriers to achieving normative • What is the project proposing? • Which are the global environmental benefits expected? • How many PAs will be established (for SP2 and SP3 projects) – hectares covered • Incrementality • Cost-effectiveness: other options considered
