Biodiversity Integration in Practice: A Case Study of USAID in Western Honduras
This case study illustrates the approach and process used by USAID's Honduras mission to integrate its biodiversity, education, food security and nutrition, and governance sectors. In Honduras, improved conservation and management of natural resources, particularly water, has increased understanding across the mission of the importance of natural resources for supporting development gains in other sectors.
The document highlights the enabling environment for achieving development goals across sectors through biodiversity integration and offers lessons learned for USAID missions, bureaus and offices interested in pursuing integration. The case study may be of particular interest to biodiversity and natural resource management specialists who are interested in learning how to integrate biodiversity with other sectors and other Agency staff interested in learning how to work across sectors.
