No later than 17 May 2016. The Mainstreaming Biodiversity in the Tourism Sector Development in Jordan Project is a GEF/UNDP project commenced in January 2014. The four years project aim is to make the consideration of biodiversity a fundamental part of everyday planning and development for tourism in Jordan. More specifically, the Project Objective is: “Biodiversity conservation objectives are effectively mainstreamed and advanced into and through tourism sector development in Jordan”. The project executed jointly by a number of national institutions namely, the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities (MoTA), the Ministry of Municipal Affairs (MoMA), the Petra Development and Tourism Region Authority (PDTRA), the Royal Society for the Conservation of Nature (RSCN) and the Aqaba Special Economic Zone Authority (ASEZA). The project is further coordinated with the Ministry of Planning and International Cooperation (MoPIC) and the Ministry of Environment (MoEnv). The project scope includes three components, each reflected in one strategic outcome as follows: Outcome 1: Regulatory and enforcement framework in place to avoid, reduce, mitigate and offset adverse impacts of tourism on biodiversity. Outcome 2: Institutional capacities for planning, monitoring and enforcement strengthened in Jerash, Petra and Wadi Rum landscapes so as to manage the impacts of tourism development on biodiversity within ecologically valuable and sensitive areas. Outcome 3: Improved management effectiveness particularly in revenue generation, tourism planning and management, and community relations in Dibbin, Shoubak and Wadi Rum Protected Area. The land use planning component of the project is one of the main upstream interventions addressing the integration of biodiversity protection and conservation in the existing planning and management frameworks and processes in the project’s three pilot sites in the Jerash Governorate with specific focus on the areas associated with the Dibbin Protected Area, the Wider Wadi Rum Landscape in the Aqaba Governorate, and the Petra Region. The component will be undertaken at the national level by the Ministry of Municipal Affairs (MOMA) and the regional level by the Aqaba Special Economic Zone (ASEZA) for the Wadi Rum landscape Region, and by the Petra Development and Tourism Regional Authority (PDTRA) for the Petra landscape Region.
