The Mission intends to design an Activity, called Renda Verde, that seeks to boost communities
in leveraging the benefits of living in nature across key biodiversity conservation areas ‐ and
benefit local people through sharing of nature‐based revenue. In addition to ongoing
enforcement to dissuade and punish destruction of natural resources and habitats, this Activity
will focus on the tangible incentives of living with nature, seeking to catalyze the market and
community benefits of human coexistence with wildlife in harmony across conservation areas,
buffer zones and key biodiversity corridors. USAID’s biodiversity conservation programming
creates positive outcomes for biologically significant areas and human well‐being.
