The mission of the Latin America Regional Program is to provide technical and financial assistance to partners to conserve the region’s priority species and their habitats. It advances its mission by supporting projects that reduce threats to key wildlife species and strengthen local capacity that results in measurable conservation impacts that benefit biodiversity and its people in the long-term. Projects should address the following threats: unsustainable resource use, habitat loss and fragmentation, agricultural expansion, human-wildlife conflict, and climate change have on species and ecosystems. Therefore, this Program will only consider projects that clearly articulate how the proposed actions will reduce these above-mentioned threats under at least one of the following two categories: Species Conservation: This category seeks to support projects that promote the recovery and conservation efforts of key terrestrial species and their habitats along their range. Proposed activities can be implemented on the local, national, or regional (transnational) level, and can involve more than one priority species. Species should meet the criteria to be listed either as “Endangered” or “Threatened” on the ESA, or as “Critically Endangered,” “Endangered,” or “Vulnerable” on the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List. Species listed as “Data Deficient” or “Extinct in Wild” on the IUCN Red List are not eligible under this NOFO. Conservation Stewardship: This category seeks to support projects that assist communities living in and along critical wildlife corridors and strongholds, by building on their traditional land-use practices, governance principles, ethnobiological knowledge and reduce their costs of living with wildlife. Proposed activities can be implemented on the local, national or regional (transnational) level. Projects are to be implemented in or around natural protected areas, biological corridors, and recovery units in: Mexico: Species: jaguar. Geographic Eligibility: Yucatan Peninsula and Lacandon jungle. Central America: Geographic Eligibility: Guatemala and Honduras. South America: Geographic Eligibility: Gran Chaco (Eastern Bolivia, Paraguay, and northern. Argentina) and Andes-Amazon (Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru).
