consists of two main components, namely: 1) improved biodiversity planning and

approach to building ecosystem and landscape connectivity, addressing
transborder forest degradation and habitat restoration, strengthening
biodiversity planning and management and the identification and design of
specific landscape conservation measures at Protected Area (PA) and community
levels. Project preparation activities will shore-up critical aspects of the
developing project�s scope to direct design of on-the-ground activities and
align Protected Area coverage and wider conservation corridor interventions
including government and sector planning and baseline projects (e.g.
ADB-Biodiversity Conservation Corridors, WWF/CarBi and other relevant
