Synopsis (short abstract) Ecuador has been recognized as one of the 17 megadiverse countries in the world. The Napo province presents 19 of the 91 ecosystems reported for Ecuador. With an integrated approach, the GEF-funded project “Conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity, forests, soil and water to achieve good living (Sumac Kawsay)” sought to overcome the many threats affecting biodiversity while reducing rural poverty. The project is contributing to the adoption of good management practices of forests, water, soil, crops and livestock by improving participation of the local Kichwa community, inclusion of its cosmovision in project activities and by addressing awareness raising and capacity building issues, also at institutional level. The project should continue its efforts to support the local government in giving a normative framework to conservation and sustainable production, institutionalize promotional instruments and implement value chain plans for cocoa, “naranjilla” and bio-trade products to generate an improvement in the living conditions and income of the beneficiary families.

The project Conservation and sustainable use of natural resources as a mean to achieve Sumac Kawsay (Good Living) in the province of Napo, co-executed by FAO, the Ministry of Environment of Ecuador and the Decentralized Autonomous Government of Napo, aimed at promoting the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity, reversing land degradation and deforestation and contextually increasing and improving the supply of goods and services from agriculture, livestock, and forestry. The project has contributed significantly to these objectives, achieving: i) adequate support for different productive and conservation activities; ii) an initial impact on the conservation of forests and soils and on the restoration of various areas of the natural ecosystem in Napo and; iii) generated a net benefit, whether economic or social, for several hundred families. The final evaluation recommends a brief extension so that the project can implement measures for the sustainability of its results and develop a capitalization strategy of lessons learned and communication.
