4 BIODIVERSITY AND PROTECTED AREAS MANAGEMENT PROJECT Project Goal: To improve the capabilities of people in the Ministry of Environment (MOE) to plan, implement and effectively monitor National Protected Areas. This includes developing and testing proactive measures to minimize unsustainable exploitation and degradation of the biodiversity of national and global significance in the Virachey National Park. What is learned from the Virachey program will be used to develop systems for other national protected areas. Protecting environment areas and the variety of plant and wildlife that grow in them are necessary to a country s long-term development. Description: There are four components in this four-year project: 1. National policy and capacity building. This component involves funding for consultants to help the MOE develop key elements of a long-term plan for the National Protected Areas system. The consultants will help establish management guidelines, a sustainable financing system, an information system to support management of protected areas, and educational programs promoting public awareness of laws and regulations. They will also review the legal and regulatory constraints. The funding will als o provide for park ranger training programs. 2. Park protection and management. This element involves consultants to help the MOE develop and test activities that support the basic management needs of the Virachey National Park. This includes financing for community education and outreach programs for park protection, staff development, and improvements of park infrastructure. This is necessary in order to build the foundation for a long-term program for biodiversity conservation in Ratanakiri and Stung Treng provinces. 3. Community development. Communities within and adjacent to the Virachey National Park will be more directly involved in the Park s management. Many communities rely on the resources of the park for their daily subsistence needs, especially in times of emergencies. This component will include assessments of the uses of natural resources, cultural values and other socio-economic conditions in and around the park. This project also aims to assist communities in the targeted areas to formulate proposals to address their needs while respecting the management goals for the park. Financing is available for small-scale alternative livelihood initiatives. 4. Project management.
