Mesoamerica provides a unique context for biodiversity conservation in managed landscapes because of
its geography, history of human intervention, and present conservation and development initiatives. The
long and narrow form of the Mesoamerican landmass, and its division by a central mountain range, has
served as both a bridge and a barrier. Conservation efforts in Mesoamerica are unique for the emphasis
they place on regional connectivity through the Mesoamerican Biological Corridor and on biodiversity
conservation in managed landscapes. The emphasis on conservation in agricultural systems has fostered
innovations in payment for ecosystem services, and provides novel insights on the functional role that
biodiversity plays in the provisioning of ecosystem services. The increasing rate of economic development
in the region and the advent of new payment for ecosystem service schemes have provided new
opportunities for forest regeneration and restoration. However, the small scale of private landholdings
and the diversity of land uses featured in the region, while contributing to biodiversity conservation
due to their structural and floristic complexity, present challenges for biodiversity monitoring and
management. |
