11 Common concerns Land and territory Threats from agribusiness Institutional capacities of local organizations Technical capacities of national organizations Lack of influence on government Little cooperation with private sector Limited involvement in conservation Growing scarcity of water 11

12 Key beneficiaries of ecosystem services Urban population (water supply). Agribusiness. Hydroelectric power for all of Brazil. Rainfall in Southeast, South, neighboring countries. Small farmers and agroextractivists. Traditional and indigenous communities.

13 Environmental Policies National System of Protected Areas Forest Law: Legal Reserves (20%-35%) of properties and Permanent Preservation Areas (APPs) Low-Carbon Agriculture Plan to Recover Natural Vegetation Environment in Indigenous Lands Policy Context Development Plan for new frontier (Matopiba) 13

14 Threats to biodiversity Crops (commodities) Frequent burning and wildfire Cattle (low productivity) Biofuel (sugar cane, soy) Charcoal for steel Tree plantations 14

15 Climate Change Higher temperatures and less precipitation. CC also due to local land use change. CC also threatens economy and society. 15

16 Current Investments

17 Support from international community Far greater for the Amazon, but deforestation there has dropped >80%. Growing recognition of the importance of the Cerrado. Brazil no longer a priority country, but also faces economic crisis. Important to influence international donors. Above all, influence the use of funds within Brazil. Introduce environmental criteria in social and economic development. 17

19 CEPF Niche and Strategy

20 1. Presence of restricted range species and the status of threatened species 2. Anthropic Pressure Index 3. Protected areas and priority areas for conservation 4. Capacity of civil society organizations to leverage matching funds and assets 5. High native vegetation coverage 6. High importance for water supply Priority KBAs VHI

21 Priority corridors 1. KBA Ranking. 2. Gap of conservation investments. 3. Better opportunities to work with civil society. 4. High potential to leverage. 5. Urgency of conservation actions. 6. Natural vegetation coverage.

22 CEPF priorities Four priority corridors: Mirador Mesas Central de Matopiba Veadeiros Pouso Alto Kalungas Sertão Veredas 4.75 Peruaçu x priority KBAs: 9.3 million ha

23 CEPF Niche for investment Beyond biodiversity Best practices Public and private protected areas Sustainable networks Information and knowledge Multi stakeholders initiatives

27 Portfolio logframe Objective Engage civil society in the conservation of globally threatened biodiversity through targeted investments that maintain ecosystem functions and human wellbeing Targets At least 40 local civil society organizations with increased capacities actively participate in conservation actions and management of territories guided by the ecosystem profile. At least eight partnerships and networks formed among public, private and civil society actors to facilitate synergies and to catalyze integrated actions and policies for the conservation and sustainable development of the Cerrado in support of the ecosystem profile. At least 500,000 hectares of protected areas targeted by CEPF grants with new or strengthened protection and management. At least five land-use planning or public policies influenced to accommodate biodiversity. At least 500,000 hectares of production landscapes with improved management for biodiversity conservation or sustainable use within four corridors targeted by CEPF grants. At least five globally threatened species targeted by CEPF grants have stable or improved conservation status. Means of Verification Civil Society Tracking Tool (CSTT) on CEPF s investment beneficiaries. Click to edit Master assessment subtitle style At least 60 local and indigenous communities are empowered and directly benefit from the sustainable use of resources and/or the restoration of ecological connectivity at the landscape scale. Grantee and RIT performance reports. Protected Area Tracking Tool (SP1 METT). Annual portfolio overview reports; portfolio midterm and final reports. IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. Important Assumptions The CEPF ecosystem portfolio will effectively guide and coordinate conservation action in the Cerrado Hotspot. Investments by other funders will support complementary activities that reduce threats to priority corridors, sites and species. Civil society organizations, government and private companies will be willing to engage in biodiversity conservation, form new partnerships, and adopt innovative approaches.
