Job Purpose and Organizational Context
Project objective: to scale innovative integrated approaches to ecosystem restoration and conservation to catalyze transformational shifts in three high value landscapes in Uzbekistan
The project is part of the GEF8 global Ecosystem Restoration Integrated Program. The four components proposed by this project have been designed within available GEF and co-financing framework to address the corresponding drivers of ecosystem degradation and biodiversity decline, which are driven by multiple drivers of unsustainable land use practices. The project will deliver Global Environmental Benefits using a participatory approach that ensures promotion of women, youth and vulnerable groups and equitable participation opportunities.
This will result in the improved management of 1.3 million hectares of land across the West Tian Shan, Nuratau, and Kugitangtau landscapes. The targeted ecosystems are characterized as classic rural mosaic landscapes, with multiple types of HCVF, dry steppe rangelands, and smallholder agriculture. The project will implement integrated multi-stakeholder management mechanisms, and support innovative approaches such as the development of catalytic financial mechanisms to achieve restoration at scale.
The project addresses three target high value landscapes: the West Tian Shan, Nuratau, and Kugitangtau, which each encompass approximately 400,000-500,000 ha, for a total project area of approximately 1.5 million. The three landscapes are within the Mountains of Central Asia biodiversity hotspot, and are composed of clusters of Key Biodiversity Areas. Project sites encompass three high value mountain / foothill landscapes: including 10 KBAs (881,000 ha), and 6 national level PAs (142,278 ha), as well as several other effective area-based conservation measures (OECMs) that could be recognized.
