The Multilateral Investment Fund issued a press release last week<\/a> about our Environmental Leadership and Entrepreneurship for Geotourism<\/a> project:<\/p>\n

The Multilateral Investment Fund (MIF), a member of the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) Group, will support the Paso Pacifico Foundation in a project that seeks to position Nicaragua as a competitive ecotourism destination that contributes to the conservation of biodiversity in and around the La Flor Wildlife Refuge in the department of Rivas.<\/p>\n

The MIF expects that this project will integrate selected communities into sustainable tourism value chains, and will promote the protection of natural capital, especially the region\u2019s sea turtle population, which is one of the key tourist attractions.<\/p>\n

Given the turtle\u2019s importance to local tourism offerings, the MIF will support the identification, design and implementation of innovative financing mechanisms for the protection and monitoring of these animals. One of these mechanisms will promote the creation of “turtle credits” – certificates representing a turtle egg not removed from its nest, equivalent to a born turtle – that will be offered to consumers and businesses that support the conservation of marine ecosystem conservation, such as surf and dive shops, medium-to-high-end seafood restaurant chains and NGOs devoted to conservation.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Desde un comunicado de prensa de FOMIN<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Nicaragua: \u201cCr\u00e9ditos de Tortuga\u201d para salvaguardar el capital natural del Refugio de Vida Silvestre de la Flor<\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

<\/b>El Fondo Multilateral de Inversiones (FOMIN), miembro del Grupo del Banco Interamericano de Desarrollo (BID) apoyar\u00e1 a la Fundaci\u00f3n Paso Pac\u00edfico en un proyecto que busca posicionar a Nicaragua como un destino eco-tur\u00edstico competitivo que contribuya a la conservaci\u00f3n de la biodiversidad dentro y alrededor del Refugio de Vida Silvestre de la Flor en el Departamento de Rivas…<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

El FOMIN espera que este proyecto integre a las comunidades seleccionadas en la cadena de valor del turismo sostenible, promoviendo la salvaguardia del capital natural, especialmente las poblaciones de tortugas de la regi\u00f3n que representar\u00e1n la base de los servicios tur\u00edsticos ofertados del proyecto…<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Dada la importancia de las tortugas para la oferta tur\u00edstica local, el FOMIN apoyar\u00e1 la identificaci\u00f3n, el dise\u00f1o y la implementaci\u00f3n de mecanismos innovadores para el financiamiento de actividades de protecci\u00f3n y monitoreo de estos animales. Uno de estos mecanismos fomentar\u00e1 la generaci\u00f3n de \u201ccr\u00e9ditos de tortugas\u201d \u2013 certificados que representan un huevo de tortuga no sacado del nido, lo que equivale a una tortuga nacida- los cuales ser\u00e1n ofrecidos a consumidores, y negocios que apoyan la conservaci\u00f3n de los ecosistemas marinos, tales como tiendas de surf y buceo, cadenas de restaurantes de pescado de nivel medio-alto y ONG conservacionistas.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
