This did not reflect on the project’s efficiency or on its relevance, but it did affect the consistency of the Bank’s reporting instruments as specified in the PAD. 3. In focal areas, no more than 30% to 50% (depending on each focal area) of production (in area or producers) is associated with selected, high-impact resource use practices that are detrimental to biodiversity (e.g., uncontrolled fire use in agriculture, inadequate waste disposal, overfishing, overhunting) in native ecosystems. 3. The project did not produce a baseline census to follow up on this indicator. The proxy used for reporting: a total of 47,042 producers in 15 of the 16 original focal areas and in new communities within the corridors incorporated after the MTR have adopted sustainable, productive activities, which would be equivalent to more than 50% of the number of producers estimated in the focal areas. There were shortcomings in the capacity to appropriately measure the achievement of the operation’s objectives, since the project did not produce a baseline of all producers associated with high-impact resource use practices that are detrimental to biodiversity in native ecosystems in focal areas, in order to appropriately respond to the question of whether no more than 30–50% of producers continue to use such practices after the project’s intervention. The proxy used does reflect on efficiency and relevance since the involvement of producers in sustainable management with improved livelihoods is certain to have had the expected result. 4. In focal areas, at least 30% to 50% of production (by area, number of producers or total value of products) is generated by selected, financially sustainable, practices of natural resources use (forest Sustainable, biodiversity-friendly production was established through subprojects financed or cofinanced by the MMBC in 22,580 ha, which represent approximately 32% of the productive areas of the focal areas. The indicator selected to assess the share of sustainable production achieved did not specify the means of measurement and verification; in addition, an appropriate baseline was lacking. Therefore, the following proxy indicator was used: Area under sustainable
