Grant Description

The focus of this IAA with the USFS is the first sub-purpose, or "Intermediate Result" of the USAID/Brazil Environment Strategy: "Biodiversity conservation efforts strengthened in priority protected areas." USFS will provide technical assistance to the Ministry of Environment, the Chico Mendes Institute for Biodiversity (which manages national parks and other protected areas) and other GOB agencies working in biodiversity conservation.

Of particular interest will be work related to land use planning, concessions planning, facilitating public use of protected areas, and economic studies including assessments of supply chains of sustainably produced or collected products. (IM# 57639; GCC-SL indirect: $2,400,000)
