Threats
• 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

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
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
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
•
•
•

•
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: comanagement, private reserves,
indigenous PA´s.
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.
• 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
• 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
