Book (series)Evaluation reportTerminal evaluation of the project “Securing Biodiversity Conservation and Sustainable Use in Huangshan Municipality”
Project code: GCP/CPR/049/GFF - GEF ID: 4526
2023Also available in:
No results found.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. -
Book (series)Evaluation reportMid-term evaluation of “Securing Biodiversity Conservation and Sustainable Use in Huangshan Municipality”
Project code: GCP/CPR/049/GFF GEF ID: 4526
2020Also available in:
No results found.The project's specific objective is to “evaluate, adapt, and implement relevant best practices derived from the successful management of Huangshan National Scenic Reserve to strengthen and upgrade the existing municipal system of protected areas (PAs).” This is to be achieved by adopting a tiered, sequential approach applied to different classes of Nature Reserves (NR) grouped to best benefit from project-supported activities in a cost-effective manner. This MTE is being conducted for the purposes of both accountability and learning of GEF, GCU, FAO, and other participating institutions. This MTE documents important lessons to guide the remaining phase of the project and will serve as an input to improve its implementation. Likewise, it will present strategic recommendations in order to ensure that all the planned results of the project will be achieved if considered realistic.

No results found.Huangshan Municipality lies in the Anhui Province of eastern China. It is a forested, mountainous area that is home to over 1 800 species of plants and456 species of vertebrates, comprising seven percent of all known plant and animal species in the country. For many reasons, including illegal logging, hunting and fishing, the impacts of climate change, and an increase in domestic and international tourism to the area, the biodiversity in Huangshan Municipality is threatened. In fact, many of the plant and animal species in the area are endangered. Despite a strong commitment by the government and the public to conserve Huangshan’s biodiversity and ensure its sustainable use, the management of existing PAs needs improvement. To achieve this goal, the project evaluated, adapted and implemented best practices derived from the successfully managed Huangshan National Scenic Reserve (HNSR) to strengthen the management capacities of staff in the network of PAs established prior to the project. A tiered, community-based approach was implemented to ensure sustainability and the effective management of the large number of existing PAs.

Book (stand-alone)General interest bookTransforming livestock sector: Ethiopia
What do long-term projections say?
2018Also available in:
No results found.Africa is in the midst of simultaneously urban, socio-economic, policy and technological transitions. These rapid transitions will have major implications for the African agricultural sector. Consumers will move away from a predominantly cereal-based diet towards the so-called 'Livestock revolution', which will affect the development of African livestock in the coming decades. This note presents long-term projections of key socio-economic and livestock-related variables for Ethiopia, for the period 2015-2050, as estimated by the FAO Global Perspective Studies Team under a business as usual development trajectory.
