National Learning Exchange on Protected Area Management Enhancement (6-7 September 2017, Pasig City)

 
Background
Since 2012, the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) commissioned the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH to implement the Protected Area Management Enhancement (PAME) project. Together with the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), specifically the Biodiversity Management Bureau (BMB), PAME aims to enhance the protection and management of Key Biodiversity Areas (KBAs) in the Philippines. To achieve this, the project will contribute to the (i) improvement of management and technical capacities of relevant staff of the DENR, BMB, and partners at all levels; (ii) management of 60 existing terrestrial and marine protected areas in KBAs; (iii) establishment of 100 conservation areas under innovative conservation management systems; and (iv) knowledge management and awareness raising about the values of biodiversity. In the last five years, the project has supported the Philippine government in its international commitments to the Convention on Biological Diversity by improving the legislative conditions for the protection and management of KBAs. Hence, a closing event and national learning exchange was conducted to celebrate the achievements and successes of PAME project.
Objectives
The closing event and national learning exchange aimed at the following objectives.
1. Present the accomplishments of the PAME Project;
2. Share and learn local experiences during the implementation of the project on a broader scale (national level);
3. Establish and/or strengthen the biodiversity conservation network and platform for learning among partners; and
4. Handover of project accomplishments and recognition of the partnerships formed to ensure sustainability of project interventions through showcasing cooperation and collaboration good practices among select LGUs and partners.
