The expansion of collaborations and targeted interventions to include agricultural production, ecotourism, and indigenous communities sought to include the other government ministries including those of economy, tourism and agriculture as well as social welfare ministries with a mandate to serve populations living in the MBC. The private sector, NGOs and other stakeholder groups participate actively in the major programs of the MBC, including the Conservation and Sustainable Use of the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef System (MBRS) Project, the Bank-Netherlands Partnership Program (BNPP), and the collaboration with the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to use satellite and imaging technology to map the region and collect critical environmental data. Other efforts have included Prototype Carbon Fund interventions to encourage the use of clean energy and discourage the use of fossil fuels for unsustainable uses in energy generation and as cooking fuels.  更少显示
