Synopsis (short abstract) The project, funded by GEF, aimed to improve the institutional frameworks for the control, prevention and management of the invasive exotic species in high value ecosystems for biodiversity in the Magellan region and Chilean Antarctica. In addition, the project tried to address the conservation of biodiversity in the management of productive landscapes. Some of the final evaluation results highlights are: i) the set-up of a governance model for the management and control of the beaver in the Magallanes region, with a Management Plan in the process of being approved; ii) the creation and implementation of the coordinated information, monitoring and early alert system (SIAT); and iii) the implementation of a communication strategy starting at the beginning of the project, iv) the implementation of demonstrative practices in piloting areas.

The project, implemented in Argentina between July 2015 and June 2022, had the objectives of developing a framework strengthened governance that allows the effective protection of biodiversity against the impacts of invasive alien species (IAS) and enhances the current and future socioeconomic benefits derived from the conservation and sustainable use of biological diversity. The evaluation estimates that as a result of the implementation of the project, Argentina is better prepared to face the challenge of IAS management and has made progress towards enhancing the socioeconomic benefits derived from the conservation and sustainable use of biological diversity by controlling IAS.

The purpose of this project is to support national efforts to strengthen the institutional framework for the prevention, early detection, control and eradication of Invasive Alien Species (IAS) and Potentially Invasive Alien Species (PIAS), emphasizing those that threaten environments aquatic species, and implement the National Action Plan of the NSCBD 2010-2020, in its strategic Line 5, which recognizes exotic species as one of the direct causes of the loss of biological diversity.

The project "Mainstreaming conservation and valuation of critically endangered species and ecosystems in development-frontier production landscapes in the regions of Arica y Parinacota and Bibío", executed between 2016 and 2022, aimed to incorporate conservation criteria for four critically endangered species into the management of the main development-frontier production landscapes of the Arica and Parinacota and Biobío regions. The evaluation results highlight the project's high relevance to the Government of Chile by aligning with national environmental priorities. In addition to promoting the development of public policy instruments focused on the knowledge and protection of the Arica hummingbird, Darwin's fox, the huemul, and the queule (strategies, plans, ordinances, monitoring protocols, and educational material), the project made significant efforts in training and raising awareness about the importance of biodiversity among government officials, farmers and the school population. The efforts in implementing good agrosilvopastoral practices on pilot farms are also noteworthy.
