    The FAO project “Securing Biodiversity Conservation and Sustainable Use in Huangshan Municipality” was implemented in China (Huangshan Municipality) and funded by the Global Environment Facility. The rationale behind the project intervention was that the biodiversity conservation objectives were not being fully achieved through the existing mechanisms. The final independent evaluation of the project rated it as Satisfactory, and verified that most of the outcomes and outputs of the project were achieved. The main shortcoming was limited progress with best practices and lessons learned from the project being taken up and replicated elsewhere in non-participating nature reserves. Evaluation recommendations included finalizing the sustainability plan; continuing to support non-participating reserves to improve management effectiveness; assessing the effectiveness of a related innovative protected area management model; and considering opportunities to promote internationally the project’s achievements, best practices and innovations.

    Mid-term evaluation of “Securing Biodiversity Conservation and Sustainable Use in China's Dongting Lake Protected Areas”

    The Dongting Wetlands is China’s second-largest freshwater lake and one of the 200 key global ecozones. Its high biodiversity serves as an important ecosystem for over 120 bird species and many endangered species. It plays an important socioeconomic role in the area as nearly 16 million people live around the lake. Despite the importance of the wetlands, the services it provides are increasingly at risk. Loss of habitat arising from sector conflicts and economic interests of local farmers and fishers has resulted in a decline in wildlife populations and in some cases entire species. FAO intervened to secure the conservation of biodiversity in the area through strengthening existing management efforts and promoting long-term sustainable development. Activities such as hunting, fishing, planting and reclamation have been stopped and most policy level outcome targets for biodiversity have been reached. The mid-term evaluation makes recommendations for the second half of the project, with a particular focus on knowledge management. It recommends a systematic approach to sharing good practices and technical support with learning facilities across the various project sites. GCP/CPR/043/GFF GEF ID: 4356

    Provided in this newsletter is an annual overview of the FAO-GEF project progress covering January to December 2019. As the first newsletter which is expected to be published through FAO, the content covers many project highlights as well as a brief intro of the project rationale and background. It is anticipated that the audiences who have interest in the biodiversity protection and sustainable development of natural resources may learn about the many new and updated legislation passed by the local authority after they get engaged by this project, as well as awareness-building activities carried out by project management office and their local partners to foster community-wise efforts devoted to the conservation of the distinct landscape in this area.
