Project objectives
- A 5% increase in protected areas for targeted threatened species;
- More sustainable terrestrial and marine resource management by local people;
- Better prices for conservation-dependent commodities, mainly through a 25% sales increase of premium conservation coffee. Such support of community livelihoods will empower communities to protect the YUS CA ecosystem and the wildlife that uses it;
- Developing model mechanisms for monitoring and reporting and communicating on globally threatened species internationally.
