This FRAMEgram focuses on information and resources from two major USAID biodiversity projects: the Biodiversity Understanding in Infrastructure and Landscape Development (BUILD) and Sustainable Conservation Approaches in Priority Ecosystems (SCAPES). You will also find many tools and resources in the links provided.
A webinar on “How Farmers in Africa are restoring Degraded Lands and Enhancing Resilience” was held at the World Resources Institute (WRI) in Washington DC.

USAID LESTARI supports the Government of Indonesia to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and conserve biodiversity in carbon rich and biologically significant forest and mangrove ecosystems. LESTARI applies a landscape approach to reduce emissions, integrating forest and peatland conservation with low emissions development on other, already degraded land. This is achieved through improved land use governance, enhanced protected areas management and protection of key species, sustainable private sector and industry practices, and expanded constituencies for conservation among various stakeholders.
This special edition of FRAMEgram is in recognition of World Wildlife Day 2017. Every year March 3rd marks the United Nations World Wildlife Day. This year’s theme is “Listen to the Young Voices.” The U.S. State Department’s theme is “Front Line Defenders: Honoring Those Who Protect Wildlife.”
