A principal achievement of the GEF project was the preparation of the Biodiversity Conservation Zoning Plan for the Archipelago, endorsed by the Government of Yemen in April 2000.
The Plan aims to integrate development needs with environmental protection and sustainable use of natural resources, so that the unique biodiversity and natural beauty of Socotra would continue to flourish, and continue to be a resource for the local people, in the process of development.
