Biodiversity-based products to balance economic development and biodiversity protection

Why attend
In an engaging Speaker's Pitch we will be showcasing multistakeholder win-win solutions for biodiversity-based value chains that balance the economic development for local people and biodiversity protection in and around ASEAN Heritage Parks and National Protected Areas in South-East Asia.
HideDescription
Now more than ever, it is vital to understand and acknowledge the value and wealth of biodiversity and its opportunities for economic development of a country. Our session will share best practices and lessons learned from pilots on Biodiversity-based Products (BBP) as an economic leverage to improve livelihoods and biodiversity protection in and around four national parks in South-East Asia (Cambodia, Vietnam, Lao PDR). The 4-year project was implemented by GFA Consulting Group on behalf of GIZ and in cooperation with the ASEAN Centre for Biodiversity (ACB). We will present practical examples of successful green value chain development that strengthen economic development of local communities, support participation of women and youth in income-generating activities and biodiversity protection and support national processes in adressing several SDGs and various strategic goals of the Aichi targets.
