BIODIVERSITY ASSESSMENT FOR CROATIA

E&E - 117/119 Report - Croatia Introduction This biodiversity assessment for Croatia has three interlinked objectives: · Summarizes the status of biodiversity and its conservation in Croatia; analyzes threats, identifies opportunities, and makes recommendations for the improved conservation of biodiversity. This information will help USAID Croatia make decisions related to biodiversity conservation. · Meets the requirements stipulated under Section 119.d (1) & (2) of the Foreign Assistance Act (see Annex A, FAA Sections 117 and 119), required when USAID missions are developing new strategic programs. The assessment also prepares the Mission to address issues arising under Sections 117 and 119 of the FAA by providing information on biodiversity and natural resources in Croatia. · Analyzes the impact of future USAID activities in Croatia on biodiversity conservation, suggests actions that USAID could support that would improve the status of biodiversity conservation in Croatia and are consistent with current USAID programs, and identifies special opportunities for the Mission in the area of biodiversity conservation.
