By 2015 main infraestructure development in the area has environmental considerations, with mitigation and compensation schemes
|
|
By 2015 at least 20 national and local organizations have public policies related to the conservation of the coastal cordillera. The policies should cover at least 300,000 hectares.
|
|
By 2015 conserve 100.000 hectares of forests under voluntary conservation agreements (communal and private)
|
|
By 2015 financial mechanisms allow to cover 75% of the estimated budget for the initiative
|
|
By 2015 incorporate 20, 000 hectares of key areas (high biodiversity and high vulnerabilty, connectivity) in a formal management system
|
|
By 2015 mantain at least 100,000 under conservation agreements with effective conservation, increasing connectivity among conservation areas
|
|
By 2015, 120,000 hectares of the buffer zone are under sustainable productive activities
|
|
By 2015, 60,000 hectares of protected areas are under effective conservation
|
|
By 2015, develop and implement a decision support tool directed to local goverments, local organizations, and local communities
|
|
By 2015, Diminish in at least 75% of the illegal logging
|
|
By 2015, local communities of Chongon-Colonche and local goverments are strengthened in technical and financial capacities
