The Biodiversity Conservation Corridors (BCC) Project was funded by Asian Development Bank. It has been implemented for the last 6 years in Thua Thien Hue province.
The Project is one of three country level projects that enhance transboundary cooperation and management of forest ecosystems in the Greater Mekong Subregion (GMS). The GMS Governments, with support from ADB have identified the most important biodiversity conservation landscapes in the subregion that are vulnerable to increased development pressures and environmental degradation.
In Viet Nam, the Biodiversity Corridor Conservation (BCC) project will address fragmentation within the biodiversity rich forest landscapes of central Viet Nam. Continued fragmentation is impairing the ability to provide a range of ecosystem services necessary for sustaining local livelihoods and investments in hydropower, transport, water and food-security sectors. The Project will promote sustainable resource use, and restore and then enhance these productive landscapes. It will do so through conservation activities supported by targeted economic development activities that support the change from inappropriate resource use to more benign and supportive resource use.
The Project represents Phase II of the GMS Biodiversity Conservation Corridors Initiative (BCI). The completed pilot phase was endorsed by the GMS Summit of Leaders in 2005 in Kunming and implemented between 2006-2009 in Quang Nam and Quang Tri Provinces under the ADB regional technical assistance (RETA 6289). The Project will (i) establish biodiversity corridors in the provinces of Quang Nam, Quang Tri and Thua Thien Hue and then restore and maintain the habitat and biodiversity connectivity within the Viet Nam corridor and the wider regional ecosystem (connection of regions for Cambodia, Lao PDR and Viet Nam); (ii) guarantee the sustainable service of forest ecosystems and adaptation to climate change; (iii) create livelihood benefits to local communities in order to reduce pressure on forest; (iv) develop management plans and their implementation; and (v) draft management guidelines at the interprovincial level being used to inform future National level guidance to achieve long-term influence on ecosystem services and sustainability. Biodiversity corridors and provincial management guidelines are expected to be established and in use by 2019.
The Biodiversity Conservation Corridors (BCC) Project’s expected impact is climate resilient sustainable forest ecosystems in the Central Annamites (Trung Truong Son) benefiting local livelihoods and downstream users while the intended outcome is sustainably managed biodiversity corridors in Quang Nam, Quang Tri and Thua Thien Hue provinces. The BCC Project has four outputs: (i) institutions and communities strengthened in biodiversity corridor management; (ii) biodiversity corridors restored, ecosystem services protected and maintained; (iii) livelihoods improved and small-scale infrastructure support provided to target communities; and (iv) project management and support services operational.
