Component 1: Water Resources Assessment and Optimizaiton - the planned studies continue to make substantial progress to find out the target water consumtion for economic activities within the Aibi Lake Basin in order to release more water flows to the Aibi Lake; Component 2: Sustainable Land Management Practices - about 1,800 hectares of Natural Grassland are now under active grazing managment and about 400 hectares of land are being devoted to fodder production to help reduce impacts of grazing on natural areas; Component 3: Biodiversity Conservation and Local Livelihood Enhancement - both goveronment and related project implementing agencies are monitoring biodiversity and habitat quality, as well as carrying out more effective patrolling of protected areas, and project affected people are receiving training to improve their livelihood; and Component 4: Project managemnet - various awareness raising activities for biodiversity consdervation are being conducted; training has been provided and the picture album and popular science documentary movie have been made, which are under review and further improvements. Due to appreciation of RMB Yuan and increase of labor costs, there is a modest financing gap, which will likely be resolved through provision of additional counterpart funds. 1/20/2015 Public Disclosure Copy Page 2 of 9 Public Disclosure Copy The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Sustainable Management and Biodiversity Conservation of the Lake Aibi Basin (P110661) Risks Systematic Operations Risk-rating Tool Risk Category Rating at Approval Previous Rating Current Rating Political and Governance  --  --  Low Macroeconomic  --  --  Low Sector Strategies and Policies  --  --  Moderate Technical Design of Project or Program  --  --  Moderate Institutional Capacity for Implementation and Sustainability  --  --  Moderate Fiduciary  --  --  Moderate Environment and Social  --  --  Moderate Stakeholders  --  --  Low Other  --  --  Low Overall  --  --  Moderate Results Global Environmental Objective Indicators PHINDGEOTBL  1.
