SUSTAINABLE ECOSYSTEM RESTORATION AND BIODIVERSITY CONSERVATION PROJECT

Project Implementation Management Consulting Services

Terms of Reference (TOR)

 

  1. Project Background

The Sustainable Ecosystem Restoration And Biodiversity Conservation Project (hereinafter referred to as the "Project") is proposed to be implemented utilizing loans from the World Bank (International Bank for Reconstruction and Development) (hereinafter referred to as the "World Bank") and domestic counterpart funds. The project will contribute directly to conserving globally significant biodiversity resources in China’s Shanxi province, contributing to halting and reversing global biodiversity loss. Biodiversity provides essential ecosystem services, which are often shared widely across populations, making them difficult to monetize in ways that attract private investment. As a result, without public sector involvement, biodiversity conservation may be underfunded, leading to ecosystem degradation and loss of valuable resources. In addition, it will directly contribute to global climate change mitigation through carbon sequestration from the restoration of ecosystems and habitats. Finally, the project will generate knowledge and experience on the implementation of the GBF which can provide models for replication in other parts of China as well as globally. Knowledge generated under the project will also be disseminated to other countries facing similar challenges, especially in Africa, South and Central Asia, through the China-World Bank Group Global Center for Ecological Systems and Transitions launched in December 2024.

The Project Development Objective is (PDO) to restore priority habitats and enhance in-situ and ex-situ conservation for priority species in targeted areas of Shanxi Province. The project's construction content consists of two components:

Component 1: Investments in Ecosystem Restoration and Species Conservation. The key outputs include: (i) Completion of mixed forest ecosystem planting; (ii) Installation of water points, salt points, and shelter shrubs; (iii) Establishment and operationalization of prey breeding and rewilding facilities; (iv) Protection of key habitats for priority species; (v) Establishment and operationalization of a botanical garden; (vi) Restoration of key wetlands.

Component 2: Strengthening Knowledge and Institutional Capacities for Biodiversity Conservation. The key outputs include: (i) Establishment and operationalization of a data platform for monitoring priority species; (ii) Completion of biodiversity research, surveys, and assessments; (iii) Upgrading of wildlife rescue and disease control facilities; (iv) Establishment and operationalization of visitor centers and education bases; (v) Successful implementation of community outreach activities; (vi) Completion of satisfaction surveys; (vii) Implementation of training and capacity building activities; (viii) Development of technical standards, guidelines, and strategies; (ix) Conducting assessments and certifications according to the Guidelines for OECM and the IUCN Green List of Protected and Conserved Areas; (x) Successful organization of knowledge sharing and exchange activities.

The Component 1 will focus on ecosystem restoration by rehabilitating targeted priority habitats for umbrella and migratory species and combining in-situ and ex-situ conservation for other priority species. The Component 2 will generate knowledge and strengthen institutional capacities to enhance sustainability of biodiversity conservation outcomes and enable replicability and future scale-up. On-the-ground habitat restoration under Component 1 will be integrated with rigorous M&E, capacity-building, public engagement, and technical assistance under Component 2 to ensure that conservation efforts in Shanxi are effective, sustainable, and scalable. Improved M&E will allow for timely interventions for adaptive management and informing the development of evidence-based technical standards to enable replication; increased public awareness will enhance community support for biodiversity conservation; while strengthened capacities will support local institutions in implementing and sustaining conservation efforts beyond the project lifetime. Together, both Components will contribute to the conservation of threatened and endemic species, the resilience of ecosystems and people, and the overall health of biodiversity, so that project outcomes are effective and sustainable in the long term.

The overall implementation period for the project is from 2025 to May 31, 2031. The total planned investment is US$168 million, of which US$100 million is proposed to be financed by a World Bank loan, with the remaining funds covered by domestic counterpart funds.

  1. Consulting Services Objectives

To ensure the smooth implementation of the project and the achievement of the development objectives jointly established by the Shanxi Provincial Government and the World Bank, the Sustainable Ecosystem Restoration And Biodiversity Conservation Project Management Office (hereinafter referred to as the "Provincial PMO") proposes to utilize the World Bank loan to hire Project Implementation Management Consultants (hereinafter referred to as the "Consultants") to provide project management consulting services (hereinafter referred to as the "Consulting Services") throughout the entire project implementation period.

Working under the authorization of the Provincial PMO, the Consultants will carry out project implementation and management tasks, closely collaborating with all relevant project stakeholders. Their responsibilities include formulating project implementation plans, driving project execution, and facilitating timely communication and resolution of various issues arising during implementation.
