Шаблон:Infobox organization The Amazon Region Protected Areas Program (ARPA; Шаблон:Lang-pt) is a joint initiative sponsored by government and non-government agencies to expand protection of the Amazon rainforest in Brazil.

Foundation

The Amazon Region Protected Areas Program (ARPA) originated in a 1998 promise by the Brazilian government to triple the area of the Amazon that was legally protected. The program was launched in 2003, supported by government agencies, NGOs and major donors.Шаблон:Sfn The program is based on a major two-year planning exercise with experts from different disciplines, representatives of the indigenous people and others. This defined a set of priority areas for new parks and reserves throughout the Amazon.Шаблон:Sfn

Objectives

Initial objectives were:Шаблон:Sfn

  • Establish about Шаблон:Convert of new strictly protected conservation units of Brazil
  • Upgrade about Шаблон:Convert of neglected existing parks to effective standards of management
  • Establish about Шаблон:Convert of sustainable use reserves supported by local communities, and provide effective stewardship
  • Establish a US$220 million long-term Protected Areas Trust Fund to ensure perpetual financial viability and integrity of the system

Benefits include protecting habitats, ecosystems and biodiversity, reducing conflicts over land ownership, providing sustainable use options to local communities, creating barriers against deforestation and burning, maintaining forest coverage to lock up carbon and avoid changes to rainfall patterns.Шаблон:Sfn

Organization

The program is led by the Brazilian Institute of Environment and Renewable Natural Resources (IBAMA), which coordinates the process of identifying protected areas, creating them by law, preparing management plans and establishing staff and infrastructure. IBAMA works with local government authorities and community members. Implementation is overseen by a steering committee that includes representatives from government agencies and civil society.Шаблон:Sfn

The Brazilian government covers core staffing costs. The World Bank oversees additional funding, which is managed by the Brazilian Biodiversity Fund (FUNBIO).Шаблон:Sfn Funding is provided by the Global Environment Facility through the World Bank, the government of Germany through the KfW German Development Bank, the World Wide Fund for Nature through WWF-Brazil and the Amazon Fund through the Brazilian Development Bank (BNDES).Шаблон:Sfn Conservation units are eligible for disbursements from the fund only when they can show that they comply with rigorous standards.Шаблон:Sfn

Operations

The first phase, which cost US$81.50 million, financed creation and consolidation of Шаблон:Convert of new protected areas, established the endowment fund, established a system for monitoring biodiversity and supported overall coordination by the Ministry of Environment, IBAMA and the Brazilian Biodiversity Fund.Шаблон:Sfn ARPA Phase 2 was to expand the protected areas system, with about Шаблон:Convert of new coverage, and to ensure that the program has solid and sustainable finances. It was approved by the World Bank board on 23 February 2012.Шаблон:Sfn ARPA resulted in a 68% increase in protected areas and indigenous territories from 2004 to 2012.Шаблон:Sfn

In February 2016 it was announced that the federal Ministry of the Environment would include the Serra dos Reis State Park, Samuel Ecological Station and Rio Pacaás Novos Extractive Reserve, all in Rondônia, among the conservation areas supported under ARPA.Шаблон:Sfn Rondônia conservation units already covered by ARPA were the Corumbiara State Park, Guajará-Mirim State Park, Rio Preto Jacundá Extractive Reserve, Rio Cautário Extractive Reserve and Serra dos Três Irmãos Ecological Station. The Umirizal Ecological Station would be created. With this expansion the total area covered by ARPA in Brazil rose to Шаблон:Convert.Шаблон:Sfn
