Living in harmony with nature: Connecting biodiversity with production systems in the Gualaca Altitudinal Corridor Landscape. Improve the management of the Altitudinal Gualaca Corridor and Landscape (PCAG) to benefit biodiversity conservation and foster sustainable use of natural resources with a landscape approach. Note: Disbursement data provided is cumulative and covers disbursement made by the project Agency. 187. The beneficiaries and stakeholders of the project are identified through a map of actors that have been enriched and complemented through the consultation processes. Beneficiaries and stakeholders that could have a more relevant and direct impact on the activities and results of the Project have been identified and prioritized, as well as those who will be direct beneficiaries of the project.188. The direct beneficiaries are those who have a more direct and strong link with the project activities such as the landscape planning process, the development of the governance scheme and the financial sustainability tool in the case of Component 1 where institutional actors participate (MiAMBIENTE , MIDA, MEDUCA, MIVI, ANATI, MEF, etc.), civil society organizations (NGOs, Universities, OBC, JAAR) and other actors.189. For Component 2, actors related to the management of protected areas (MiAMBIENTE) are included, in addition to the beneficiaries of their environmental goods and services, such as Community-Based Organizations (CBOs), Producer and Community Associations; in addition to beneficiaries of ecosystem services such as hydroelectric plants (ENEL Power Green), among others. In addition, those actors directly related to productive activities in livestock, agriculture and fisheries are included, including government institutions that provide support services or technical extension to producers, research and access to agricultural credit (MIDA, ARAP, IDIAAP, BNP, BDA, ANAGAN ) and the beneficiaries that constitute producer associations, community-based organizations (CBOs), and interested individual producers. This component also includes actions for the recovery and/or reforestation of degraded forest and mangrove areas and the conservation of forests outside protected areas, for which reason it involves the participation of institutional stakeholders such as the Ministry of the Environment, who will provide seedlings and/or mobilization of resources for reforestation or enrichment actions and the beneficiaries include producers, CBOs, producer associations and the Rural Aqueduct Administrative Boards (JAAR) that will be beneficiaries of these reforestation and/or enrichment actions of forests and mangroves through the maintenance and improvement of their ecosystem services.190. The Table 6, presents the results of an interested part mapping, carried out to determine its current relevance or importance based on the fulfillment of the objectives and results of the project, and the potential impact they may have during and after the implementation of the project.191.Table 13 contains the participation of the private sector in the Project, according to the type of actor, its location in the landscape and its relationship with the project outputs.Table 13 Private sector engagement in the Project       National Socioeconomic Benefits   Socioeconomic benefits at the local level   Alignment with Global Environmental Benefits       Governance Platform to facilitate the management of the PCAG and the Sustainable Use Plan of the PCAG.       They will help maintain and improve the provision of ecosystem services of national interest such as the production of hydroelectric energy (Hidroeléctrica Fortuna – green energy).   Provision of water, hydroelectric energy, biodiversity conservation and a site of tourist interest that generates economic benefits to local communities that provide lodging, food, and guide services to visitors.   188, 112 ha of areas of landscapes under improved practices (excluding protected areas).       Preparation and implementation of farm management plans for sustainable agriculture, livestock and fishing (transformation of traditional farms to sustainable production systems)       The productive chain that supplies food to different national markets is strengthened, which contributes to balancing prices of the basic family basket.   Important socioeconomic benefits are generated such as productive diversification, food security, increased farm productivity and its long-term sustainability, which generates an increase in socioeconomic benefits for families. Adaptation to the effects of climate change, improving the resilience of productive activities, which generates cost reduction.   1,000 ha. Area of land restored       Reforestation and restoration of degraded areas of the PCAG to improve connectivity       National goals of reforestation and ecosystem restoration are supported to maintain Panama's Carbon Neutral status. Compliance with national adaptation policies and plans, water security, among others.   The participation of beneficiaries in reforestation and landscape restoration activities generates economic benefits. In the long term, reforestation on beneficiary farms can generate other socioeconomic benefits through the use and sale of wood, firewood, fruits, etc. In the case of livestock, the incorporation of trees in the pasture contributes to generating forage for livestock and creating favorable microclimates (temperature reduction up to 4°C), important to produce milk and meat. Mangrove recovery important to maintain the productivity of fisheries associated with the mangrove. All of this generates socioeconomic benefits for the communities.   1,000 ha. Area of land restored  8,576 Tons. CO2 eq. Greenhouse Gas Emissions Mitigated       Strengthening the management of terrestrial and marine protected areas       Important to maintain the generation of key ecosystem services: water for the provision of communities and the production of hydroelectric energy, tourism and agricultural and fishing production.   They generate important services to communities such as water provision, which is key to quality of life and agricultural productivity. Tourism and recreation that generates important income for communities in the upper part and the marine-coastal zone of the landscape.   40,655 ha. Terrestrial protected areas established or under improved management for conservation and sustainable use. 20,731 Marine protected areas established or under improved management for conservation and sustainable use      192. The communication and knowledge management strategy of the Project (product scheduled at the beginning of the project - output 2.3.1) will establish the key activities to be developed, identify the stakeholders involved, the means of communication that should be used for calls and presentation or dissemination of results and key moments (programming) for these consultations and participation processes to be developed in accordance with the Project Document. The budget allocated to the development and implementation of the communication and knowledge management plan is US$ 120,000.00 during the execution of the project.
