Strengthening of Biosphere Reserves of Ecuador, as a Strategy for Conservation and Sustainable Development (RedViva)

Project aimed at strengthening the management of Ecuador's seven biosphere reserves through the design and implementation of multi-level and multi-stakeholder coordination mechanisms, the adoption of landscape-approach planning tools and the improvement of governance, training and communication. In the pilot reserves of Bosque Seco (Loja) and Chocó Andino (Pichincha) it improves the conservation, sustainable development and research functions, and promotes sustainable soil management practices and bio-enterprises, with a gender approach.
