Introduction : Country: Bosnia and Herzegovina Description of the Assignment: Bosnia and Herzegovina is known for its rich biological diversity, endemic species, habitats, and a series of relict ecosystems. Species diversity has the highest level of endemism in Europe. Still, despite the country’s rich biodiversity, international obligations, and growing man-induced pressures, nature conservation efforts remain insufficient. Socioeconomic challenges, such as unemployment and poverty, have resulted in both the government communities focusing on immediate economic priorities rather than environmental issues, including biodiversity. Thus, biodiversity conservation is not seen as a national priority. The objective of the “Sustainability of Protected Areas in BiH” (SPA) project is to achieve practical improvement in the management of protected areas in BiH, providing for better biodiversity status through strengthened resilience of key biodiversity values to climate change impact and increased revenues to protected areas from ecotourism. The project is called to reduce the gap between the current capacities of protected areas (PAs) with their increasing vulnerability to emerging threats, on the one hand, and the growing need to preserve and sustainably maintain biological and ecosystem diversity, on the other. It is planned to provide incremental effort in assisting the protected area management with tools and instruments aimed at diversifying and improving the sustainable, nature-based tourism offering in targeted PAs and neighboring communities, thus providing for sustainable incremental income and a development option that will valorize the unique natural values without further threatening them. The SPA project will also link the PAs to the funding opportunities provided by the government grant programs for tourism development. The SPA project has been financed by the Global Environment Facility (GEF) and is directly implemented by UNDP Bosnia and Herzegovina Country Office. As a segment of Component 1 of the SPA project (Strengthening PA resilience to climate change threats), Project is intended to provide a portfolio of adaptation and climate resilience solutions for targeted species and ecosystems. Under these solutions, and with due account to the species specificities and importance, Project is aiming to implement a series of activities aimed at improving the current state of the natural populations of Serbian spruce (Picea omorika (Pancic) Purk.) through the design and application of in-situ and ex-situ conservation measures. Activities that are to be implemented by the SPA project are the continuation of efforts made so far to improve the conditions of the species’ population. The National Consultant will provide expert support needed to secure the entire process of in-situ and ex-situ conservation of Serbian spruce, including a strong emphasis on cooperation with relevant stakeholders with an aim to raise awareness on the importance of the conservation of this species. By doing so, the respective management authority will be motivated to ensure the future implementation of the entire course of measures to assure that the Serbian spruce population is non-deteriorated. The National Consultant will work under the project manager's overall guidance and direct supervision. Period of assignment/services: 75 days (from August 2023 to December 2024) Proposal should be submitted directly in the portal no later than indicated deadline.
