This project will result in effective collaborative protected area management, expanding conservation function through ‘other effective area-based conservation measures’ in West Papua’s most diverse land and seascapes, reducing emissions from avoiding deforestation by protecting key terrestrial and marine ecosystems through local community participation, and leveraging long-term biodiversity investment to close financial gaps for conservation and sustainable use of natural resources. Local threats to biodiversity will be reduced through the improvement of community tenure over natural resources and alternative livelihood opportunities.
