| Findings |
| Recommendations | |
|---|---|
| 1 | Midterm Review recommendation 1. Update the National List in coordination with government agencies in charge of the missing species. |
| 2 | Midterm Review recommendation 2. Consolidate risk assessment protocols in user-friendly systems (e.g. Excel) and adjust the rapid assessment protocol (MERI), providing validation tests to ensure there is no bias. Pursue options to formalize the use of risk assessment by agencies in charge of authorizing species imports for different uses in order to establish an impartial and consistent risk assessment process that includes biodiversity concerns. Pursue the inclusion of biodiversity criteria in risk assessment protocols used by SENASICA. |
| 3 | Midterm Review recommendation 3. Strengthen the sectors within SEMARNAT in charge of IAS in order to: a) improve IAS management, b) optimize authorization processes for eradication and control actions and to establish an expedited process for rapid response actions in EDRR systems in coordination with CONANP and c) ensure resources are available for the implementation of the National Strategy on Invasive Species. SEMARNAT personnel responsible for IAS management might require specific training to allow for pro-active institutional coordination with CONABIO, CONANP and other government agencies in complementary sectors in charge of species introductions or sectors that function as pathways and vectors of IAS introduction and spread. |
| 4 | Midterm Review recommendation 4. Replicate biosecurity protocols developed for ornamental fishes to other species in aquaculture, pursuing a public policy to support producers in the implementation of biosecurity measures. Considering that aquaculture represents an expanding market, many new introductions of fishes, biological invasions and impacts due to the escape of alien fishes from breeding stations can be avoided. |
| 5 | Midterm Review recommendation 5. Strengthen the Central CONANP Coordination for Invasive Alien Species by assigning more personnel or allowing the Coordination to be exclusively dedicated to IAS management. This will improve management efficiency and increase support to NPA in order to ensure that all pending actions in the project are implemented in due time, as well as for future replication to other NPA. A higher level of involvement by the Director for the Conservation of Priority Species is desirable, as this position is levelled with NPA Directors. This is especially relevant for decision-making in key moments to ensure implementation of prevention measures, EDRR and control of IAS. |
| 6 | Midterm Review recommendation 6. Control five invasive plant species in PN Arrecife Alacranes (planned for year 1) with support and permits issued by CONANP for mechanical and chemical control as needed and based on technical reference for each species and/or experts in invasive plant control. Conclude goat eradication on Espíritu Santo Island using the most viable methods and considering the cost-benefit ratio. Eradication must proceed based on hunting and complementary methods to ensure success. CONANP must support the work and provide the necessary permits for eradication to be achieved in a few months, as planned, to prevent the goat population from increasing, as well as the costs involved. |
| 7 | Midterm Review recommendation 7. Systematize vertebrate eradication processes and verification methods for early detection alerts on islands for reference to other areas and projects. These references are especially important for CONANP in the application of EDRR systems, as it is not viable for GECI to travel to each island upon early detection alerts. CONANP must consolidate the capacity to verify the presence of IAS upon early detection alerts and carry out at least basic control and contention work as indicated in rapid response protocols. |
| 8 | Midterm Review recommendation 8. Take the lead in applying biosecurity protocols for insular NPA, supported by the CONANP Department for Priority Species for Conservation (DEPC), General Directorate for Regional Operation (DGOR) and Regional Departments for NPA so that GECI takes a supporting role, inverting current roles. As GECI is an NGO, it can provide technical support, but does not have the legal mandate to enforce the necessary actions except for voluntary cooperation by the public. In this case, a government institution must take the lead in ensuring that the biosecurity protocols are effective. Besides, the presence of GECI on islands depends on projects, being occasional, while the presence of CONANP is sustained. |
| 9 | Midterm Review recommendation 9. To promote simulations of EDRR systems developed for NPA (response chains) in order to test their efficacy and as a way to build capacity for NPA personnel. Once the effectiveness has been evaluated, the protocols should be disseminated for replication in other NPA |
| 10 | Midterm Review recommendation 10. Not perform experiments in the control of invasive plants without a technical basis. It is desirable to nominate one person to be in charge of IAS control in NPA, as well as one focal point in the Coordination for IAS in Central CONANP, who receive specific training to provide qualified technical support to ongoing control work. The best methods available must be applied, making use of existing experience and technical and scientific knowledge, in order to increase the chances of consolidating efficient control methods before project closure. Urgently implement new invasive plant control measures to consolidate replicable methods. Use chemical control for alien invasive grasses and estimate costs and efficacy in comparison with mechanical control. Make use of the expertise available in the Scientific Committee to support these actions and pursue capacity building alternatives outside Mexico if necessary, as there seems not to be much experience on integrated management of invasive plants in natural areas in the country. |
| 11 | Midterm Review recommendation 12. Ensure the extension of the project deadline to the end of 2019 in order to allow enough time for practical implementation of all the information produced through the project as well as for mainstreaming IAS management commitments in the new government. |
| 12 | Midterm Review recommendation 13. Support the PMU in project management on the constant changes in administrative processes that may cause implementation delays. Carry out an assessment of processes that cause delays in project implementation, especially the approval of consultancy reports and other products. Seek ways to improve the initial quality of reports by providing consultants with a proposed structure and minimum contents to facilitate approval. This is important to optimize product reviews and, especially, to make sure that payments are completed in due time to allow field activities to be carried out as necessary. |
| 13 | Midterm Review recommendation 14. Strengthen the PMU with more personnel in this final implementation phase to ensure that all outcomes are achieved, especially due to the current changes in administrative processes of the UNDP. |
| 14 | Midterm Review recommendation 15. Systematize information on progress, achievements and limitations of the project for use in project management and especially for the Terminal Evaluation. Use the indicator and output tables updated for the MTR (Tables 2 and 8 – Strategic Results Framework, Table 3 – Indicators per output, Table 4 - progress per output and the Management Effectiveness / Institutional Capacity Tracking Tools), to monitor project implementation. The MTR Team does not recommend reviewing the indicators at this point in implementation because many would require revision, diverting efforts that must now be focused on the consolidation of activities and best practices. Include reports and products from complementary sources, such as PROCER reports on plant control in NPA, on the web page, organized by topic and by NPA. |
| 15 | Midterm Review recommendation 17. Mainstream IAS prevention and control into sectorial regulations of productive systems (aquaculture, forage grasses, forest products and others) and develop regulations for unregulated sectors (pets, ornamental plants and others) in order to reduce IAS escape and impacts of these sectors on biodiversity and ecosystem services. |
