Legacy Landscapes Fund 3.Tranche Legacy Landscapes Fund 3.Tranche Ökosysteme und ihre Dienstleistungen sind die Grundlage des menschlichen Daseins und ihres ökonomischen Handelns, sind aber durch wachsenden menschlichen Einfluss bedroht. 1 Mio. Arten sind vom Aussterben bedroht. Ländliche Gemeinschaften und indigene Bevölkerungsgruppen verlören damit ihre Lebensgrundlagen. Zahlreiche ODA-Länder verfügen noch über letzte Wildnisgebiete mit bedeutenden Konzentrationen an endemischen Arten und regional wie global bedeutenden Ökosystemen. Effektiv gemanagte Schutzgebiete werden allgemein als das wirksamste Instrument zur Sicherung bedeutender Landschaften, ihrer biologischen Vielfalt und ihrer Ökosystemdienstleistungen anerkannt. Werden die Schutzgebiete angemessen bewirtschaftet und geschützt sowie gleichzeitig die Rechte und Bedürfnisse der lokalen Gemeinschaften respektiert, kann ein wichtiger Teil der biologischen Vielfalt auf der Erde erhalten bleiben. Durch den Schutz intakter Ökosysteme kann auch ein wichtiger Beitrag zur Verhinderung der Ausbreitung von Zoonosen geleistet werden. Das Kernproblem besteht in der nicht ausreichenden Finanzierung der global bedeutendsten Naturlandschaften (Legacy Landscapes) in den ärmeren Ländern des globalen Südens. Das Vorhaben soll die langfristige Grundfinanzierung global bedeutender Landschaften durch einen gemeinsam aus öffentlichen und philanthropischen Quellen gespeisten Finanztransfer aus den Industrieländern sichern, ihr Management stärken und damit einen erheblichen Beitrag zum Erhalt der globalen biologischen Vielfalt zu leisten. Es trägt maßgeblich zum Schutz global bedeutender v.a. terrestrischer Ökosysteme bei. Modulziel ist: Auf der Grundlage jährlicher Zuwendungen der LLF Stiftung bewirtschaften professionelle Partnerschaften in ODA-Ländern ausgewählte Legacy Landscapes effizient und nachhaltig. Empfänger der Mittel und Träger der Maßnahme ist die im Dezember 2020 gegründete gemeinnützige Stiftung Internationaler Naturerbe Fonds / Legacy Landscapes Fund. Ecosystems and the services they provide are the basis of human existence and their economic activities, but are threatened by growing human influence. One million species are threatened with extinction. Many ODA countries still have last wilderness areas with significant concentrations of endemic species and regionally and globally important ecosystems. These areas are threatened by massive degradation as a result of increasing anthropogenic pressure. Rural communities and indigenous peoples would lose their livelihoods. Effectively managed protected areas are widely recognized as the most effective tool for safeguarding important landscapes, their biodiversity and ecosystem services. If protected areas are managed and protected appropriately, while respecting the rights and needs of local communities, an important part of the Earth's biodiversity can be preserved. By protecting intact ecosystems, an important contribution can be made to preventing the spread of zoonoses. The core problem is the insufficient funding of the globally most important natural landscapes in the poorer countries of the global south (Legacy Landscapes). This contributes to inadequate management of these areas and the loss of globally significant biodiversity. The project aims to secure long-term core funding for globally significant landscapes through a joint public and philanthropic financial transfer from developed countries, strengthening their management and thus making a significant contribution to the conservation of global biodiversity. It contributes significantly to the conservation of globally important terrestrial ecosystems. Based on annual grants from the LLF Foundation, professional partnerships in ODA countries manage selected Legacy Landscapes efficiently and sustainably (Module objective). Recipient of the funds and executing agency of the measure is the non-profit foundation Legacy Landscapes Fund established in December 2020 Professional partnerships manage selected legacy landscape effectively and sustainably based on secured LLF long-term core funding.
