18.506,25 EUR Trinidad and Tobago; Caribbean March 15, 2022 to August 14, 2022

Protected and conserved area(s) concerned

• Aripo Savannas Strict Nature Reserve, Long Stretch Reserve

• Matura National Park, St. David Reserve and Eastern Extension Matura

• Nariva Swamp Managed Resource Protected Area

The BIOPAMA AC Objectives addressed

Small Technical Grant for Assessment for improved protected areas management and governance (STGA)

Priority need addressed

To identify or update result-oriented priority actions for improved protected and conserved areas management and governance, through new or updated quantified management and governance assessments and their associated enhancement plans.

Project activities

Consultants will, for each protected area:

  • Conduct a METT-4 assessment, through stakeholder engagement exercises and a desktop analysis of available data;
  • Develop an action plan, based on the results/recommendations of the METT-4 assessment, which outlines the results of the METT-4 assessment, recommends updated priority actions for the management plan and describes the process for implementing the priority actions;
  • Develop a communications plan to share the results of the METT-4 assessment locally and globally.

The change the project implementation will bring for the protected area(s)

The project’s implementation will facilitate the establishment of a framework for a quantitative assessment of the status of the three (3) Environmentally Sensitive Areas, with the aim of improving their management. Outputs from the METT-4 assessments will focus different state bodies and other stakeholders on priority management actions and help develop opportunities for inter-agency cooperation to achieve management goals.
