BIOREACH: Biodiversity
Conservation and Agroecological Land Restoration in Productive Landscapes of
Trinidad and Tobago
Project
Preparation Grant (PPG) Inception Meetings
The Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United
Nation’s (FAO/UN) project preparation team is leading the development of a
Project Document (for the BIOREACH: Biodiversity Conservation and Agroecological Land Restoration
in Productive Landscapes of Trinidad and Tobago project) in
collaboration and consultation with relevant Agencies and stakeholders in
Trinidad and Tobago. The outcome document is to be completed by March 2020, for
submission to Global Environment Facility (GEF) for their endorsement.
In light of this, on October 8th and 10th
2019 the BIOREACH Project Inception Workshops were held at the Cara
Suites in Claxton Bay, Trinidad, and at the Magdalena Grand Beach & Golf Resort
in Tobago.
The workshops were geared at creating awareness
among national stakeholders about the Project, and getting their feedback on
the design of the Project.
Participants were informed through presentations on
different components of the Project (which seeks to address threats to our
local biodiversity and productive landscapes from human encroachment, forest
fires and unsustainable practices); and also participated in several group
discussions, with the aim of assisting in the development of a Project proposal
that when completed will result in a well-drafted proposal with the potential
to achieve sustainable and effective results.
