Strengthening and Catalyzing the Sustainability of Nicaragua's Protected Areas System

The project goal is, "Nicaraguan society conserves biodiversity in-situ through a sustainable National Protected Areas System ". This is based on the goal of SINAP’s Development Strategy and responds to the nexus between Nicaragua’s large constituency of private property owners and their need for economic growth that must be balanced with the need for conservation of biodiversity. The project objective is, "The Nicaraguan Protected Areas System is effectively managed through legal reforms, strengthened institutions, sustainable financing and partnerships."
