The Critical Ecosystem Partnership Fund finesseclassified101 https://padlet.com/finesseclassified101/jesfvvo7nbsf/wish/140590068 1. mechanisms to integrate local groups and individuals in the management of protected areas and reserves; 2. private-sector conservation initiatives such as plantation forestry and nature tourism; 3. support for biodiversity conservation and management training; 4. promotion of advocacy and awareness; 5. a Biodiversity Action Fund to respond to critical, unanticipated conservation needs; and 6. a participatory coordination network to ensure continuity of the overall program. The purpose of the investment strategy is to facilitate effective participation by nongovernmental and other private-sector organizations in the conservation of biodiversity in Madagascar. ]]> 2016-11-29 17:40:11 UTC https://padlet.com/finesseclassified101/jesfvvo7nbsf/wish/140590068 Sources finesseclassified101 https://padlet.com/finesseclassified101/jesfvvo7nbsf/wish/140592534 http://environmentalresearchweb.org/cws/article/news/33737
