Biodiversity conservation through community mobilisation and building sustainable livelihoods for three selected IBAs in Nepal

Contributing IUCN constituents:Bird Conservation Nepal

Project Details

NameBiodiversity conservation through community mobilisation and building sustainable livelihoods for three selected IBAs in Nepal
DescriptionBiodiversity conservation through community mobilisation and building sustainable livelihoods, targeting communities bordering three Important Bird Areas (IBAs), in Nepal. The project (i) will strengthen civil society structures around the IBAs and (ii) is expected to lead to enhanced community involvement in biodiversity conservation and (iii) a number of community businesses that demonstrate that sustainable income can be significantly enhanced through the project’s approach.

Potential reduction of species extinction risk resulting from threat abatement actions

Absolute value (STAR)

11.3

0.6% of the total biodiversity conservation potential of Nepal is covered by this project.

1,926.1

0.6% of Asia's biodiversity conservation potential is from Nepal.

309,761.9

25.9% of global biodiversity conservation potential is from Asia.

This stacked bar chart represents the relative disaggregation of the selected contribution's total potential opportunity for reducing global species extinction risk through taking actions to abate different threats to species within its boundaries. The percentages refer to the amount of the total opportunity that could potentially be achieved through abating that particular threat.
