Threats
• Governance, policies and economic issues– Lack of good environmental governance, policies
and financial instruments for sustainable development
– Conservation policy decoupled from development policies
– Role of biodiversity conservation not reflected in national development and poverty alleviation strategies
– Values of natural capital not incorporated into national accounting systems
INCREASING PRESSURE FOR OIL DRILLING IN PROTECTED
AREAS
KBAs in the CBC
STRATEGY AND OPERATIONS• 5 year Strategic Plan completed in
FY08• Overall operational capacity
bolstered• Stable staff and budget levels were
maintained during FY08• Improved working relationship with
several HQ units • Enhanced partnerships on strategic
issues in particular policy and markets
• Advance in priority setting to link biodiversity and human well-being
POLICY AND ECONOMICS
• Joint initiative between CI, CEPF and IUCN to bolster support for improved environmental policy implementation
• National and regional climate change, PES and bio-fuels strategies jointly designed and shared with partners.
•
• Partnership with UNDP on PES.
• Training in Forest-Carbon and REDD for partners
SCIENCE AND STRATEGIC THEMATIC AREAS
• KBA definition completed for five C.A. countries and five Mexican states.
• Improved staff and partner capacity to engage in CC, PES and FW projects and activities.
• National coastal/marine strategy jointly developed by CI and partners for Costa Rica
PA´S SUPPORT• Management plans supported in 8
Protected Areas• Direct operational support
provided to 10 Protected Areas• Capacity building (four regional
courses for PA managers)• Sustainable finance: efforts
included debt swaps support (CR, GUA), OSA campaign and Sierra de las Minas Water Fund (GUA)
• Improved policies for: co-management, private reserves, indigenous PA´s.
FUNDRAISING
Raised $4.1 million to date from diverse set of
donors, out of 21 proposals submitted, totaling
$14 million.
Fundraising strategy to be completed in FY08.
Raised $2.2 M for the Debt Swaps in Guatemala and Costa Rica.
• Use the CBC conservation strategy as a tool to raise funds to achieve outcomes and institutional priorities.
• Identifying donors and raising funds for CBC core expenses (we can find project funds, but covering our core costs is much more challenging).
• Expanding our institutional footprint on key themes: species conservation, climate change, freshwater and marine conservation and environmental services
• Filling key positions: Mexico City office, servicing growing portfolios in Belize and Panama, Policy and economics specialist.
• Ensuring adequate geographic and thematic coverage.
• Defining priority species, sites, landscapes and seascapes based on best available science and climate change adaptation scenarios.
• Biodiversity conservation and climate change included into national planning processes and reflected in political, institutional and cross-sectoral priorities
• Design and start implementation of a portfolio of RED and PES projects in the CBC.
• Strengthen full implementation of CI´s policies and procedures

Mexico and Central AmericaSO4: Create and maintain enabling conditions for sustainability of the CBC
• Basic planning and monitoring tools and management capacities developed • Development of policy and market oriented instruments for ecosystem conservation and linked to human well being • Financial strategy in place to fully implement the CBC’s conservation action plan
1. Action plan and monitoring mechanisms based on CBC’s strategy by 20092. Development of an strategy to influence government decisions in meeting
conservation outcomes based on the human benefit of nature conservation.3. All key technical and operation positions filled and capacities strengthened by 20134. Regional strategies and action plans developed to promote the use of economic
instruments for biodiversity conservation and to address climate change impacts on biodiversity and human well being
5. Regional communications and branding strategy in place by 20106. Support consolidation of national PA systems in all countries

Organizational Sustainability Divisional Role:
Facilitate geographic and thematic prioritization across the region, strengthen fundraising capacity, enhance partnerships and utilize policy and market approaches to achieve outcomes through a human well being approach
FY09 Activities:
Advance in priority setting to link biodiversity and human well-being Design and start implementation of a portfolio of REDD and PES projects in
the CBC. Complete KBA’s definition and initiate Corridors design. Use the CBC conservation strategy as a tool to raise funds to achieve
outcomes and institutional priorities. Develop and maintain list of priority unfunded needs that is tied to fundraising
strategy Increase policy incidence efforts in CI related Outcomes
