  12. Governance, policies and economic issues Lack of good environmental governance, policies and financial instruments for sustainable development Conservation policy decoupled from development policies Role of biodiversity conservation not reflected in national development and poverty alleviation strategies Values of natural capital not incorporated into national accounting systems Threats

  13. INCREASING PRESSURE FOR OIL DRILLING IN PROTECTED AREAS

  14. KBAs in the CBC

  15. STRATEGY AND OPERATIONS • 5 year Strategic Plan completed in FY08 • Overall operational capacity bolstered • Stable staff and budget levels were maintained during FY08 • Improved working relationship with several HQ units • Enhanced partnerships on strategic issues in particular policy and markets • Advance in priority setting to link biodiversity and human well-being ACHIEVEMENTS

  16. POLICY AND ECONOMICS • Joint initiative between CI, CEPF and IUCN to bolster support for improved environmental policy implementation • National and regional climate change, PES and bio-fuels strategies jointly designed and shared with partners. • Partnership with UNDP on PES. • Training in Forest-Carbon and REDD for partners ACHIEVEMENTS

  17. SCIENCE AND STRATEGIC THEMATIC AREAS • KBA definition completed for five C.A. countries and five Mexican states. • Improved staff and partner capacity to engage in CC, PES and FW projects and activities. • National coastal/marine strategy jointly developed by CI and partners for Costa Rica ACHIEVEMENTS

  18. PA´S SUPPORT • Management plans supported in 8 Protected Areas • Direct operational support provided to 10 Protected Areas • Capacity building (four regional courses for PA managers) • Sustainable finance: efforts included debt swaps support (CR, GUA), OSA campaign and Sierra de las Minas Water Fund (GUA) • Improved policies for: co-management, private reserves, indigenous PA´s. ACHIEVEMENTS

  19. FUNDRAISING Raised $4.1 million to date from diverse set of donors, out of 21 proposals submitted, totaling $14 million. Fundraising strategy to be completed in FY08. Raised $2.2 M for the Debt Swaps in Guatemala and Costa Rica. ACHIEVEMENTS

  20. Use the CBC conservation strategy as a tool to raise funds to achieve outcomes and institutional priorities. • Identifying donors and raising funds for CBC core expenses (we can find project funds, but covering our core costs is much more challenging). • Expanding our institutional footprint on key themes: species conservation, climate change, freshwater and marine conservation and environmental services • Filling key positions: Mexico City office, servicing growing portfolios in Belize and Panama, Policy and economics specialist. • Ensuring adequate geographic and thematic coverage. CHALLENGES

  21.  Defining priority species, sites, landscapes and seascapes based on best available science and climate change adaptation scenarios. • Biodiversity conservation and climate change included into national planning processes and reflected in political, institutional and cross-sectoral priorities • Design and start implementation of a portfolio of RED and PES projects in the CBC. • Strengthen full implementation of CI´s policies and procedures CHALLENGES
