Barriers and Best Practices in Integrated Management of Mountain Ecosystems

The overall objective of the project is to assist developing countries to promote and enhance the protection and sustainable development of the mountains and their resources globally, as a contribution to the International Year of Mountains, WSSD and BGMS. Through collaboration among GEF implementing agencies and other partners this MSP will identify best practice in GEF and non-GEF projects dealing with biodiversity, climate change, and international waters in the context of integrated management of mountain ecosystems. Common obstacles to success and lessons learned from recent experiences will be highlighted.
