    Generating opportunities for livelihoods and biodiversity through participatory governance of natural resources and the economic diversification of the communities of the central forest corridor of Honduras 2024

    Honduras has a unique combination of coniferous forests from the Northern Hemisphere and deciduous or broadleaf forests from the Southern Hemisphere, allowing for the encounter of unique flora and fauna species and vegetation types. Forests provide multiple ecosystem services for supply, regulation, cultural and population, such as water regulation, carbon storage, ecosystem and wildlife habitat conservation, scenic beauty or landscapes, and soil conservation. This rich and diverse natural capital in Honduras is critical to sustaining key economic sectors and supporting the livelihoods of the rural poor. Farming and livestock activities are part of the livelihood, and the agricultural sector accounts for 13.9% of the national GDP.Despite its importance, the country's natural capital is rapidly degrading for several causes, including agriculture, mining, and livestock. The country's forests are increasingly degraded, losing their capacity to provide ecosystem services and benefits, and contributing to ecosystem fragmentation, biodiversity loss and climate change. At the same time, the country's high vulnerability to natural disasters and climate change negatively affects its economy. Honduras is a country severely affected by weather-related events and other hazards.The proposed GEF project aims to address the degradation and fragmentation of Honduras' natural capital and improve the livelihoods of local communities in the productive landscapes in the Olancho Department with a particular focus on the landscapes area between Sierra de Agalta, Boquerón, and La Muralla protected areas.

    The Central Asian countries (Kazakhstan, the Kyrgyz Republic, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan) share ecologically important river and wetland systems, extensive grasslands, semi-deserts, and high mountain ranges which support some of the most unique species and habitats on earth. These ecosystems also provide essential services to people, including water, food and livelihoods, and are critical for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
