Geographic Focus Sample Clauses
Geographic Focus. The Parties agree that reintroduction activities shall not seek to establish or introduce populations of salmon, steelhead, or Pacific lamprey in the Lost River or its tributaries or the Tule Lake Basin, and any management objectives for such species shall exclude such areas.
Geographic Focus. The Coastal City Adaptation Project (CCAP) focuses its intervention on the most vulnerable coastal cities that are not currently receiving significant support from other donors. We are working in two cities: Pemba and Quelimane. Initially, the objective was to identify a third city, but in consultation with the project’s COR, we are postponing this decision until activities in these two cities are sufficiently advanced to allow us to determine which interventions hold the most potential for success. An option under consideration is to identify a few key, very successful interventions, and scale them in additional cities along the Mozambican coast.
Geographic Focus. National-level technical assistance in Mozambique (based in Maputo) and provincial-level technical assistance in the provinces of Nampula and Zambézia.
Geographic Focus. The geographic focus of the Swiss-Slovak Cooperation Programme will be set on the territory of the Slovak Republic taking into account that at least 40% of the Contribution shall be spent in the region at the level of NUTS-II with the lowest GDP per capita within the three last published years (2002, 2003 and 2004). Based on this measure, the geographic focus will be set in the East Slovak Region (see 3.1a).
Geographic Focus. The two proposed landscapes (see Figure 2) present very different situations, requiring different strategies and approaches to improve conservation and strengthen governance. The large Prey Lang landscape (PLL) is ensconced in a critical watershed that cuts across four provinces. The unique ecological value of the core forest area extends over 80,000-100,000 hectares but approaches 300,000 hectares or more when buffer zones are included. Several forest concessionaires received approval to log some parts of the core area, but considerable overcutting led to suspension of work. Unlike the Eastern Plains landscape (EPL), no areas in the PLL have been granted protection status – no large-scale area management plans exist for sustainable forest management or conservation. However, some community forests have been, or are in the process of, designation in the periphery of the Prey Lang forest. The RGC has proposed a Protected Forest of approximately 400,000 hectares, including the “core” area.
Geographic Focus. Nampula and Sofala Province
Geographic Focus. This collaboration will focus on several target geographies so that the parties can provide proof of concept for new models for working with SFLs. The parties agree to focus on the Puget Sound basin where SFLs face a combination of development pressures, local market opportunities, and forest health issues from single species management on former industrial timberland. A focus on the Puget Sound basin will allow the parties to take advantage of DNR anchor forests and existing clusters of NNRG landowner members. The parties will be open to opportunities for advancing the intent of this collaboration throughout the Puget Sound basin, but will focus particular attention on the following two geographies: South Puget Sound (Thurston, Lewis, Grays Harbor and Xxxxx Counties) Nisqually River Basin (Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx and Xxxxx Counties)
Geographic Focus. UT’s efforts in data procurement, analysis, mapping, and data visualization shall focus on the following geographic regions:
I. Delaware Basin
II. Midland Basin Geographic regions other than those stated above may be considered as funding allows and in RRC’s sole discretion. If RRC elects to purchase data for other geographic regions, RRC shall issue a work order to UT.
Geographic Focus. The Together geographic area of focus presently comprises seven provinces in the North, Northeast and Deep South (subject to change as the Activity progresses): Pattani Khon Kaen Chiang Mai Yala Kalasin Lampang Narathiwas During the period July to November 2019, Together conducted an assessment of government mechanisms and agencies employing them to clarify mechanisms that might best address select drivers of latent and violent conflict and critical issues (grievances) that support underlying vulnerabilities to conflict in each focus area. In highlighting effective government mechanisms, including the geographic locations where they operate best, assessment findings guided Together in narrowing the number of provinces in the North and Northeast where it might focus programming. Criteria for selecting mechanisms include: • Successful in soliciting and using citizen input and feedback, with focus on geographic areas (e.g., Deep South) and demographic groups (e.g., women, youth, marginalized groups) of interest to Together; • Institutionalized – have dedicated staff, budget, and policies; • Replicable – could be expanded to other locales; • Engage with external partners, such as CSOs; and • “Big enough” to have meaning and impact on local issues and underlying vulnerabilities to conflict. As mechanisms are associated closely with the RTG agencies implementing them, selecting focus mechanisms implies selecting government partners as well. Criteria for selecting RTG partner ministries or agencies include: • Employ citizen feedback mechanisms that match Together criteria (above); • Interested to learn and lead, are motivated and have the will to strengthen their citizen feedback mechanisms; • Interested to engage with other government agencies, universities and CSOs; and • Interested to share experiences with other organizations.
Geographic Focus. The geographic focus of this report is on “Areas of Concern” throughout the Great Lakes region. An Area of Concern (AOC) is an ecologically degraded place. The formal definition appears in Annex 2 of the GLWQA: “a geographic area that fails to meet the General or Specific Objectives of the Agreement where such failure has caused, or is likely to cause impairment of beneficial use or of the area’s ability to support aquatic life.” The “impairment of beneficial use,” in turn, is defined as any of 14 possible changes in “the chemical, physical or biological integrity of the Great Lakes System.” These changes are shown in Table 1.1. � Restrictions on fish and wildlife consumption � Tainting of fish and wildlife flavor � Degradation of fish and wildlife populations � Fish tumors or other deformities � Bird or animal deformities or reproduction problems � Degradation of benthos � Restrictions on dredging activities � Eutrophication or undesirable algae � Restrictions on drinking water consumption, or taste and odor problems � Beach closings � Degradation of aesthetics � Added costs to agriculture or industry � Degradation of phytoplankton and zooplankton populations � Loss of fish and wildlife habitat.
