Key development issues and rationale for Bank involvement The World is facing a biodiversity extinction crisis. Biodiversity loss is increasing at an unprecedented rate, threatening the very basis of sustainable development. Species provide the most useful and recognizable indicators of biodiversity status and loss. The 2008 IUCN Red List records1 in 8 birds, 1 in 4 mammals and 1 in 3 amphibians as threatened. The main threats to biodiversity are habitat loss and fragmentation, overexploitation and invasive species but climate change is likely to exacerbate all of these threats, especially as land and water use change in response to climatic shifts. It has been estimated that 15 to 37% of all species are committed to extinction by 2050 unless widespread and effective conservation actions are undertaken soon and maintained. Although considerable efforts are expended worldwide on species conservation, additional funding to underpin conservation efforts remains a critical need for many species and their critical habitats. This project would address that funding gap, and complement current conservation efforts, by leveraging innovative and additional funding through the private sector, especially from companies which use species motifs as their logos. An ambitious Save Your Logo campaign will promote public-private partnerships to raise additional conservation funding to supplement a core Threatened Species Program and support new conservation initiatives for globally threatened species. The World Bank and the GEF are already supporting efforts to conserve threatened species and their critical habitats, through funding for protected areas and specific initiatives such as the Global Tiger Initiative and long-term support to the Critical Ecosystem Partnership Fund. The project will build on, and complement, other national and regional conservation initiatives, thereby expanding opportunities for exchange of lessons learned and good practice.

2 2. Proposed objective(s) This project will mainstream biodiversity conservation through improving the conservation status of globally threatened species and their critical habitats. 3. Preliminary description The Threatened Species Partnership will include a grant-making mechanism, the Threatened Species Program supported through a draw-down fund. The core program will be resourced with (a) initial funding from the GEF grant and the World Bank and supplemented by (b) a complementary innovative fund raising initiative which will seek contributions from private corporations - the Save Your Logo Fund. The Bank will seek Development Grant Facility (DGF) funding for the program. The structure and governance of the Threatened Species Partnership will be further determined under project preparation, including criteria for new donors. Component 1a: Threatened Species Program The project will complement existing conservation efforts globally by catalyzing a new program to provide mid-sized grants (in the range of $100,000 to $1,000,000) likely to have significant impact on conservation of threatened species and their critical habitats. Stakeholder consultations will be held with other conservation agencies to determine eligibility criteria for sub-projects, including priority species and appropriate funding levels to ensure complementarity and avoid duplication of conservation efforts. Subgrants will be targeted to threatened species and their critical habitats, including but not restricted to, species identified by private donors. Priority will be given to actions that are clearly identified in existing action plans and conservation strategies, including national biodiversity strategies. The program will be implemented through collaboration between scientific institutions, government agencies, international and local NGOs, as well as local stakeholders. Experts from the Species Survival Commission (SSC) will provide technical advice and guide implementation of sub-grants to address conservation of threatened species. To avoid conflict of interest, IUCN will not apply for any of the species grants although its member organizations may be eligible to do so. Component 1b: Catalyzing early action In order to respond to emergency situations that could threaten species in the short term (oils spills, massstranding, disease outbreaks, etc) and to initiate local capacity building, a small-grants facility (between $15,000 and $100,000) will be dedicated for early and/or emergency action. Funding will be quickly made available through a flexible mechanism and a rapid decision-making process in order to mobilize immediate action on the ground. Component 2a: Threatened species profiles The Threatened Species Program investments will be guided by profiles and action plans, based on technical input from the SSC specialist groups. For several species, and species groups, conservation strategies and action plans have already been produced and will guide priority investments to meet identified conservation needs. Many less charismatic, and less well-known, threatened species do not yet have action plans. The project will therefore support the development of at least 3 species profiles to

3 guide future funding allocations for such conservation orphans. This component will have significant cofunding from IUCN, including cash and in-kind contributions associated with the SSC groups. Component 2b: Monitoring status of threatened species as indicators of ecosystem health The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species is recognized as the global authority for assessing the threat status of species. The Red List is a key IUCN product, published annually. The IUCN Red List Index has been adopted by the Convention on Biological Diversity and the United Nations as a tool to monitor progress towards biodiversity targets. The Red List will be used to identify and monitor status of threatened species which benefit under the project. This component will build on the strength of the IUCN SSC and Species Programme, their members and partners, in monitoring the success of fund interventions. IUCN will provide significant cofunding to update the Red List, undertake new species assessments and provide annual reports on species status. Component 3: Mobilizing Innovative Financing and Private Sector Engagement The project will specifically target private sector donors and support a strong communications and marketing campaign to raise additional support and funding. Component 3a: Innovative financing from the private sector The Noé Institute, a Belgian NGO, is already working with the GEF to leverage contributions from companies through a Save Your Logo (SYL) campaign. The private sector will be encouraged to support the species depicted in their corporate logos both through donations to the program and by using the corporations own brands and marketing campaigns to address the plight of threatened species. Several well-known firms have already expressed a strong interest in contributing at least 1.5m Euros for threatened species conservation over 3 years. Modalities for attracting additional donors and accepting private sector funding including fund flows and donor eligibility will be further elaborated during preparation. Private sector finance will be primarily allocated for interventions on the ground, and other project activities, including associated communications and marketing needs, will not exceed 20% of the contributions. Private sector companies would receive up-to-date reports on the status and conservation projects associated with logo species. Component 3b: Communications and marketing The project will promote a strong communication and marketing campaign using threatened species as a way to secure public and private sector support, encourage behavioral changes, and foster activities compatible with the survival of biodiversity. It is expected that the Noé Institute will develop a communication strategy for reaching out to the private and public sectors to mobilize additional funding. Other partners are expected to collaborate in the communications campaign, which would then be maintained through contributions from new private sector funding. Component 4: Project management IUCN will be the overall executing agency for the project and take responsibility for project management. IUCN will provide a secretariat to manage the Threatened Species Program. IUCN will develop a website to maximize the transparency and lessons learned from the fund. This website will be housed under the IUCN home site ( but its architecture will allow visitors to read about the activities being funded, find calls for proposals, and monitor project progress. It is expected that the Noé Institute will

4 take responsibility for component 3 to raise additional funding from the private sector and for communications and marketing 4. Safeguard policies that might apply Environmental Assessment (OP/BP4.01) The project will support a small grants program to the conservation community. It is expected to have positive environmental benefits. Nevertheless a Social and Environmental Framework will be prepared for the project. Natural Habitats (OP/BP 4.04). By design, the project would finance only those activities that promote conservation of natural habitats and threatened species. It is intended to prevent, or reduce, habitat loss or degradation in order to conserve threatened species that depend on these habitats. Beyond the selection criteria for identifying project activities, it is not anticipated that any additional measures will be required under this policy. Forests (OP/BP 4.36). Activities will explicitly focus on conservation and more sustainable management of forests and other natural habitats. All activities would be consistent with existing protected area management plans or other resource management strategies that are applicable to local situations. Beyond the selection criteria for identifying project activities, it is not anticipated that any additional measures will be required under this policy. Indigenous Peoples (OP/BP 4.10). Many of the world s biodiversity hotspots coincide with lands occupied and utilized by Indigenous Peoples (IPs). The project will encourage proposals that support IPs and other local communities in community-based conservation activities that also enhance sustainable resource management and local development. Moreover, all projects would demonstrate that they have made provisions for evaluating the potential impacts on IPs and drafting site-specific action plans when and where necessary. Involuntary Resettlement (OP/BP 4.12). Activities involving resettlement or land acquisition are prohibited under this project. All project applications will be assessed for their potential to reduce access to resources. Restrictions of access to resources will be addressed through preparation of a Process Framework that will describe the process and principles for determining restrictions, offsets, compensation and other mitigation measures with the full participation of all potential and actual affected persons. 5.
