Table 10. Incremental Cost Matrix Cost/Benefit Baseline (B) Alternative (A) Increment (A-B) BENEFITS Global benefits There is no effective framework to operationalise transboundary cooperation for the conservation of snow leopards and their high mountain ecosystems beyond the current baseline levels of GSLEP (forums and planning) There are no transboundary snow leopard landscapes with active conservation/cooperation programmes in place There is inadequate institutional capacity and awareness to implement transboundary cooperation for snow leopard conservation. Lack of a common (global) monitoring framework for monitoring snow leopards, their prey and their habitats Financial planning and resources for GSLEP coordination will not advance beyond current baseline levels, limiting the capacity to support NSLEP implementation An effective framework to operationalise transboundary cooperation for the conservation of snow leopards and their high mountain ecosystems is operationalised in the four target countries and made available globally Operationalisation of model transboundary cooperation for snow leopard conservation in one pilot landscape addresses critical threats and results in improved conservation outcomes Strategic capacity building conducted for target groups including public and private sector Common monitoring framework, including suite of indicators and a spatial database is developed. Enhanced financial planning and innovative financing mechanisms for GSLEP are developed and implemented, improving global coordination Snow leopard populations in the 4 project countries do not decline from baseline levels Contributions towards the maintenance of globally significant biodiversity and ecosystem services The Sarychat / Northern Tien Shan pilot landscape (39,500km2), shared between Kazakhstan and the Kyrgyz republic is a model for transboundary cooperation for snow leopards There is a reduction in poaching and retaliatory hunting, and no net loss of quality habitat in the Sarychat / Northern Tien Shan pilot landscape Improving the overall institutional and individual capacity to implement transboundary cooperation for snow leopard populations and ecosystems from a baseline of 24%, to a final value of 31% as measured by the adapted Capacity Assessment Scorecard.
