Build on a previous CEPF small grant which enabled a full biodiversity assessment of the Grand Police wetland area, a site for which development of a resort and marina was initially planned. The biological assessment demonstrated the importance of the site and resulted in government commitment to protect area. The project will enable urgent action for interim protection of site against dumping and poaching, and in parallel work with the government and local communities to prepare all the documentation for the nomination of the site as a Protected Area.
