Summary
In the last ten years, more than a hundred municipalities from across the Andes have experimented with an innovative form of incentive-based conservation: Reciprocal Watershed Agreements (RWA). This project will build capacity and capability to adapt and improve the RWA model to finance biodiversity management. The facilitating organizations (Natura (Bolivia), CVC (Colombia), IBC (Peru), and ETAPA (Ecuador)) will also build their and their partners capacity to use the RWA model more effectively to support conservation of Key
Biodiversity Areas.
