The Centre will provide coordination and technical support for actions taken to protect biodiversity in the Caspian according to the provisions of the Convention for Biodiversity. The Centre will gather historical records of changes in biodiversity since historical records were first established for the Caspian. The Centre will initiate a survey of the habitats and biodiversity, developments, uses, values, impacts and threats for the Caspian coastal zone of each of the five littoral states. The Centre will prepare National Reports on the State of the Caspian Environment according to an agreed scope and prescription. The five National Reports will be melded into a Regional Overview on the State of the Caspian Biodiversity. The Center will establish a joint regional database, as the repository for biodiversity information. The database will be linked to users in the region and abroad through electronic mail and remote access systems, and form part of the broader Caspian network. The Centre will develop a Caspian Red Data Book describing and identifying rare and endangered species. The Centre will review and evaluate Protected areas and develop a Regional Strategy for the Protected Areas. In addition, the Centre will help to develop a Biodiversity Investment Plan. Technical expertise and financial support for this work will also be sought for this project from The World Bank and international NGOs. Major Tasks:
