The ESPA programme The ESPA programme builds upon the IES Prototype EnviroSecurity Assessments carried out in 2004-2005 which focused on Kalimantan in Indonesia, the Virunga-Bwindi region in Africa and the Mataven area in Colombia. In the new programme we continue our monitoring, mapping and GIS interface work and the development and implementation of EnviroSecurity Action Plans with respect to these eco-regions. We continue to work to ensure that the data for each of these case studies stays up-to-date and that we follow through on the implementation of the recommendations from these studies. Since 2007, work on three additional case studies is being carried out in the DRC-Congo Basin, Horn of Africa and the Mekong River Basin.
