vi Project Benefits and Beneficiaries The Project benefits target the 20,356 people within the Project Area of which some 4,593 reside within the CDA zone and a further 15,763 in the CDA zone. A further 23,405 residents within the immediate fringe of the Project Area especially those located close to the ex-situ zone will also benefit. Within the Project Area the poverty ratio is estimated to be 37% on a head count basis or close to 40% on a household basis. Within the Project area there are significant differences with the level of poverty in the CDA area being over 70% compared to 23% for the ex-situ zone. Poverty will be reduced dramatically through (i) significant employment opportunities during construction, (ii) approximately 1370 full time jobs, (iii) indirect economic benefits providing services and goods to the influx of workers and visitors, (iv) access to collective forest land for the 16 villages within the CDA zone, (v) development of Small and medium enterprises,(vi) development of 10 home stay community tourism enterprises, (vii) provision of improved mountain pathways and roads, and social infrastructure programs. For the CDA resident it is expected that over 90% will benefit directly from the Project. In the medium term there is an estimated 1.2 million visitors per annum that add between ½ and 1 day to the average length of stay of tourists within Shaanxi and Xian in particular. The commercial benefits from tourism will enable USD $350,000 per annum to be reinvested into conservation and livelihood programs a figure that is predicted to increase to well over USD $ 1 million in the medium to longer term. These funds will add to the Project funded conservation demonstrations and will increasingly generate conservation benefits through the wider Qinling Mountains where over 5 million residents currently reside. Risks and Assumptions Delays of extended construction periods will place significant pressure on cash flow for the QBG. The SPG has recognized this risk and has committed to underwrite the cashflow provided the business plan indicates financial viability. Technical Assistance The major risks relate to the capacity of QNBG as an new institution with little commercial management experience and an unproven management team. Within the QNBG there lack of past experience in the QBG to operate large commercial operations with the skill and acumen that will allow them to compete with other tourism attractions. Weak management and poor operation of the proposed investments will threaten the financial viability of the QBG which is currently assessed as adequate but not strong. The assumed visitation to the QBG site has been reduced to slightly over 50% of the original proposal but still represents a major determinant of the overall project success. It is also assumed that a share of surpluses will be reinvested into CDA conservation. This will require a legally defined and enforced contract with each enterprise. The Louguantai Forest Farm has no experience in the management of conservation forestry and little experience in natural forest management two of the functions assigned to them. Risks relating to potential invasive species and poor animal welfare have been factored into the design of the project through the introduction of international expertise and the restriction on the Botanical garden to limit the plant species to those from the Qinling mountain.
