Ecosystem Services for Biodiversity Conservation: Study of Corbett India Water Portal
Traditionally, the only market economic values Protected Areas recognised are tourism revenues and income from extractive activities.The difficulty in quantifying many of the economic, social, environmental and cultural values of protected areas lead to their undervaluation in land and resource use decisions
It is often perceived to be more profitable to convert a natural ecosystem than to leave it intact. A study of Corbett National Park shows indirect benefits like carbon storage and direct benefits like tourism.
From the 2019 NACD Summer Conservation Forum and Tour.
With the increased occurrence of catastrophic fires and droughts, managing woodlands and forests has taken on an increase importance. Learn about different forest management techniques and how they impact the community.

The 4th Philippine National Report to the Convention on Biological DiversityNo to mining in Palawan
This is the 4th National Report (4NR) of the Philippines to the CBD. It covers the period from mid-2005 to mid-2008 with updates up to early 2009.
It focuses on the assessment of the country’s progress towards meeting the
2010 biodiversity target of achieving a significant reduction in the current
rate of biodiversity loss at the global, regional and national levels, consistent
with the strategic plan for the CBD.
The 2010 biodiversity target is also
one of recent targets incorporated in the Millennium Development Goals
(MDG).
Highlights and specific case samples are cited in this Report to give snapshots
of the current status, trends and threats in the following ecosystems based on the thematic programmes of the CBD: forest and mountain, agriculture, inland waters, coastal, marine and island. Moreover, this Report identifies the gaps that should be addressed and some recommended actions for us to be able to meet the 2010 biodiversity target.
New York, 18 June, 2015 — The UNDP Equator Initiative hosted a Brown Bag Lunch to discuss how community-based climate solutions are achieved and what they can teach us about engaging communities to address climate change.
The talk featured Gregory Mock, former Editor in-Chief of the World Resources Report series, and was moderated by Nick Remple, Global Advisor for Community Based Landscape Management at BPPS and Director of the Community Development and Knowledge Management for the Satoyama Initiative (COMDEKS).
Mr. Mock, who has written extensively on local environmental governance and community-based efforts to sustainably manage local ecosystems, drew parallels between the findings of the Equator Initiative and the COMDEKS program:
“Forest communities can be a potent source of local climate solutions when they are empowered with resource rights and access to support networks,” said Mr. Mock. “Experience from the Equator Initiative and COMDEKS shows that community-based management of local forests can cut deforestation rates and reverse forest degradation."
In 2012, Mr. Mock collaborated with the Equator Initiative to survey 10 years of Equator Prize experience and extract lessons on the enabling conditions for successful local action. In 2014, he worked with the COMDEKS Programme to document its community-based approach to managing rural landscapes in 10 pilot countries.”
Why and how do we evaluate ecosystems, Nature is the source of much value to us every day, and yet it mostly bypasses markets, escapes pricing and defies valuation. This lack of valuation is an underlying cause for ecological degradation and loss of biodiversity. Globally, efforts are being made to assess impact of conservation or degradation of ecological resources and a new term Green Gross Domestic Product (GGDP) has also been coined to reflect the same.

resource use conflicts and biodiversity conservation in jozani ecosystem, zan...IJEAB
Resource Conflicts are the major challenge to the responsible Institutions in the management and conservation of biodiversity in Zanzibar due to the existence of multiple and interactive reasons that lead to conflicts. This paper intends to reveal the less known current status of resource conflicts in the management of biodiversity in Jozani ecosystem, Zanzibar. The study employed descriptive survey research design of the causal comparative research design to collect data from 280 respondents which constitute the study population. Descriptive statistics such as percentages, mean, frequency, standard deviation and Pearson correlation were used for data analysis. The outcome of the study showed that there is significant relationship existed between resource conflicts and the management of biodiversity conservation in Jozani ecosystem. The study has implications for environmental policy makers. The study concludes by asserting that unemployment, poverty and scarcity of environmental resources are the major causes of conflict, therefore the call is directed to policy makers to strengthen efforts on resolving conflicts by establishing overall strategies such as establishment of participatory community-based approaches to natural resource management, conflict resolution capacity building measures among the stakeholders, amendment of Laws and expansion of employment to reduce direct relying on using natural resource assets for livelihood.
Biodiversity action plan
A biodiversity action plan (BAP) is an internationally recognized program addressing threatened species and habitats and is designed to protect and restore biological systems. The original impetus for these plans derives from the 1992 Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD). As of 2009, 191 countries have ratified the CBD, but only a fraction of these have developed substantive BAP documents.
The principal elements of a BAP typically include: (a) preparing inventories of biological information for selected species or habitats; (b) assessing the conservation status of species within specified ecosystems; (c) creation of targets for conservation and restoration; and (d) establishing budgets, timelines and institutional partnerships for implementing the BAP.
Summary
Pakistan spans a number of the world’s ecological regions with its latitudinal spread and immense variations in altitude. These regions include the coastal mangrove forests of the Arabian Sea as well as some of the highest mountains of the world, where the western Himalayas, Hindu Kush and Karakoram ranges meet. This diversity encompasses a variety of habitats that support a rich biodiversity. A number of animals and plants have become endangered due to over-exploitation and loss of natural habitat. Rapid human population growth puts increasing pressure on the country’s natural resource base. Increased poverty has forced rural people to exploit biodiversity at unsustainable rates. Deforestation, overgrazing, soil erosion, salinity and waterlogging have become major threats to Pakistan’s remaining biodiversity. The continuing loss of forest habitat, with its associated fauna and flora, will have serious implications for the nation’s other natural and agricultural ecosystems. Protected areas have been established for in-situ conservation of biodiversity.
A wide range of laws also exists relating to conservation of various components of biodiversity. The key to protecting the biological diversity of Pakistan is involving local communities and obtaining support from relevant institutions in sustainable use initiatives. The Government of Pakistan recognised the importance of these measures in the preparation of the National Conservation Strategy (1992) and in becoming a party to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) in 1994. The Biodiversity Action Plan (BAP), endorsed by the Pakistan Environmental Protection Council (PEPC) in 1999, calls for government agencies, local communities and NGOs to work together as partners in biodiversity conservation.
These are the most critical issues for biodiversity conservation in Pakistan:
The need for associated policy and institutional reforms and institutional strengthening; integration of biodiversity conservation measures into sectoral initiatives; better understanding of all aspects of biodiversity and effective means for ensuring their sustainable use; developing community-based biodiver

Good, MoEFCC attempting to review Forest policy after 3 decades. But found no objective goal, all old theory.
A fundamental question. Should MoEFCC have Forest policy or Environmental Policy? Forest is for conservation, just protect it and do some recovery (conservation) activity for endangered species. Nothing more. Less activity inside, more wilderness, more animals, ...
It should have environmental policy. It should list down objective methods to achieve 40% green cover, meeting INDC of 2.5 million carbon sink through additional tree cover, improvement of EPI, objective methods to improve URBAN tree cover, reducing AIR pollution, sustainable use of ground water, chemical pollution ....etc
I object using urban / farm FOREST, because Forest implies wilderness. All these urban / farm tree growing is no wild,
Major REFORM is required in MoEFCC as mentioned by Shri TSR Subramaniam HIgh level committee in 2014
Thanks

Reduced Impact Logging (RIL) is thought to be the most suitable, but also most politically discussed, method to exploit tropical forest ecosystems for timber. In this review we give an assessment of RIL from biodiversity, silvicultural and socio-economic perspectives. We first place RIL as a potential tool for retaining forest diversity and structure whilst moving towards a forest transition. We then discuss whether RIL is an advancement of traditional tropical logging methods using the three perspectives.
Statement by the executive secretary of the convention on biological diversit...Christina Parmionova
Forests harbor some 80 per cent of the world’s terrestrial biodiversity; they support more than a
billion people with food, shelter, income, and energy. And they provide three quarters of the
world’s accessible freshwater. Containing over half of the global carbon stock in soils and
vegetation, forests also support us in combating climate change.
The Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, or the Biodiversity Plan, is a
comprehensive plan to protect forests and all ecosystems. Its goals are closely aligned with the
Global Forest Goals. They aim to to protect and restore nature; to prosper with nature; to share
benefits fairly; and to invest and collaborate for nature.
Over the past year, we have seen bold actions on forest conservation regionally and globally. A
number of countries have achieved major reductions in the rate of deforestation. The Belem
Declaration on the future of the Amazon Forest, the Three Basins Summit, and the Climate Change
Conference all set renewed commitments to step up action to protect forests.
But forests continue to face major threats.
The theme this year for International Day of Forests “Forests and Innovation: New Solutions for a
Better World” is thus very pertinent. We need innovation and new solutions to provide early
warning of forest fires and other threats, to combat organized crime, and to promote sustainable
forest management and fair supply chains in support of a sustainable bioeconomy. New solutions
can build on the knowledge, innovations and practices of indigenous peoples and local
communities and help to secure their rights over land and resources.
Let us all work together to protect forests and to implement the Biodiversity Plan.
Let us work to halt and reverse the loss of biodiversity by 2030, towards our vision on living in
harmony with nature.
We can all be part of the Plan.

people depend on forests for a high degree for subsistence
and income (World Bank 2004).
The poor rely on forest goods and ecosystem services for a
range of basic needs: food, shelter, clothing and heating.

Forestry can have a variety of negative impacts on biodiversity,
particularly when carried out without management standards
designed to protect natural assets.
Biodiversity loss: Unsustainable forest operations and other pressures on
forest resources, such as gathering of fuelwood, can lead to forest
degradation and permanent losses in biodiversity.
Climate change: As forest ecosystems are important stores for carbon,
their loss has serious implications for climate change. Deforestation and
forest degradation are estimated to cause about 20% of annual
greenhouse gas emissions (SCBD 2008).
Livelihoods of forest dwellers: Forestry can also have negative impacts on
indigenous and local communities, and on the livelihoods of other forest
dwellers by competing with these communities for access to a finite forest
resource base, and by disregarding cultural or spiritual sites and practices.

7. Illegal hunting: Increased hunting continues to be a major threat to
forest biodiversity in many countries. The depletion of wildlife is
intimately linked to the food security and livelihood of numerous
tropical forest-region inhabitants, as many of these forest-dependent
people have few alternative sources of protein and income.
Unsustainable hunting pressures are often linked to logging activities
(Nasi et al. 2008).
Illegal settlements: Another side effect of forestry operations, illegal
settlements are a threat to forest biodiversity following construction of
new forest access roads to previously inaccessible regions.
i Environmental impacts of forestry
INTRODUCTION
8. i Positive impacts of forestry
Yet, forestry management has evolved considerably in past
decades, demonstrating significant positive impacts for biodiversity
conservation, while also delivering social and economic benefits to
host communities.
Sustainable Forest Management (SFM): The General Assembly of the UN
has adopted the most widely, intergovernmentally agreed defition of SFM
as: a dynamic and evolving concept aims to maintain and enhance the
economic, social and environmental value of all types of forests, for the
benefit of present and future generations (UN 2008, Resolution 62/98).
Reduced Impact Logging (RIL) practices can include some of the following:
Directional tree felling to inflict the smallest impact on the surrounding forest;
Establishing stream buffer zones and watershed protection areas;
Using improved technologies to reduce damage to the soil caused by log extraction;
Careful planning to prevent excess roads which give access to transient settlers
INTRODUCTION
9. i Some current trends: Forest biodiversity
INTRODUCTION
Forest biodiversity is being lost at an alarming rate. Key publications
such as the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment (MEA 2005) and the Red
List of Threatened Species™ (IUCN 2004) indicate that a large and
increasing number of forest ecosystems, populations and species are
threatened globally or being lost due to the loss and degradation of forest
habitats.
The percentage of forest area designated for the conservation of
biological diversity has increased significantly between 1990 and 2005,
with an estimated 11.2% of total forest area having this objective as its
primary function.
Forested wetlands represent a particularly vulnerable forest type.
Forested wetlands are highly biodiversity-rich and provide significant
ecosystem services, such as carbon sequestration, and they underpin
productive fisheries.
Areas under agriculture and pasture are expanding, often at the expense
of forest.
10. i Some current trends:
Sustainable use and consumption
INTRODUCTION
More than 1.6 billion people depend to varying degrees on forests for
their livelihoods, e.g. fuelwood, medicinal plants and forest foods.
The consumption of main timber products (roundwood, sawnwood,
pulp, paper) is expected to increase over the next 30 years.
Illegal and /or unsustainable logging and harvesting of forest
products seriously undermine national efforts to improve sustainable
forest management in many countries. Governments, mostly in
developing countries, lose an estimated US$15 billion a year as a result
of uncollected taxes and royalties.
There has been significant growth in some non-timber forest
products (NTFP) markets with extension of market systems to more
remote areas; growing interest in products such as herbal medicines,
wild foods, handcrafted utensils, and decorative items; and
development projects focused on production and trade of NTFPs.
11. Civil society and private sector players are playing an increasingly
important role in management of forest products, reflecting the
public’s desire to secure a range of ecosystem services from forests.
There has been a strong move toward both privatization and the
decentralization of control over forests, forest management services,
and enterprise.
Market-based responses are redistributing rights to stakeholders,
making them more effective in securing both wood supplies and other
ecosystem services.
The forest area under certification has increased rapidly in recent
years. However, to date this trend is seen primarily in industrialized
countries, and only locally in developing countries, and certification
does not yet seem to be affecting timber production or trade at a
significant scale.

GOOD
PRACTICES
The International Tropical Timber Organization (ITTO) and the
International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) have developed
“Guidelines for the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity in
tropical timber production forests” (ITTO and IUCN 2009). The guidelines
include, amongst others:
1. Observe national laws, plans and practices of local communities in
forest management activities, and support the implementation of
international biodiversity related agreements.
2. Establish a forest management plan in which biodiversity
conservation objectives are clearly and explicitly identified for each area
of forest under management.
3. In preparation of harvesting plans, pay particular attention to the
local occurrence of species or habitats of special conservation concern
and species that perform vital ecological functions

4. Plan the allocation of tropical production forests at a landscape scale
and plan harvesting blocks in ways that do not disrupt the continuity of
mature forests.
5. Raise public and political awareness on international/national laws
and disseminate biodiversity information and strategies using various
media.
6. Coordinate actions of forest owners, users and managers across
landscapes to best ensure the maintenance of sufficient high quality
connected habitat for species.
7. Large-scale planted forests can provide a forest matrix within which
areas of high conservation value can be protected and managed.
Encourage the establishment of representative natural forest within the
plantation estate and, where possible, the restoration of natural forests
on appropriate sites.

PRACTICES
Biodiversity in production forests (Malaysia)
Approximately 1.5 million hectares in the Malaysian state of Sarawak are
degraded forests, earmarked for tree plantations (Hevea brasiliensis (rubber)
and Acacia mangium)
Grand Perfect Sdn Bhd, a consortium of local timber companies, has
planned three types of land uses in the project area:
1. state lands earmarked for A. mangium planting (230,000 hectares);
2. indigenous customary rights and former shifting cultivation lands
(110,000 hectares); and
3. conservation zones (150,000 hectares) that contain high conservation
value or other kinds of ecologically important forests.
The project will eventually produce 5 million tonnes of industrial wood per
year and simultaneously play a crucial role in biodiversity conservation in the
state of Sarawak.

15. Agroforestry is defined as: a land-use system in which woody perennials
(trees, shrubs, palms, bamboos) are deliberately used on the same land
management unit as agricultural crops (woody or not), animals or both, in
some form of spatial arrangement or temporal sequence (ICRAF n.d.).
Trees can provide a range of benefits in agricultural systems:
fruit trees for nutrition and medicinal trees to combat disease.
fodder trees that improve smallholder livestock production
timber and fuelwood trees for shelter and energy
Agroforestry landscapes have higher biodiversity per unit than
agricultural landscapes, and they offer habitats to numerous rare species
Agroforestry contributes to human well-being by providing additional
income; increasing food security through a higher diversity of agricultural
products (e.g. fruits, nuts, and edible oils); and by providing fuelwood and
construction material and thus reducing deforestation.

16. Biodiversity conservation and local livelihoods – Traditional
Rubber Agroforestry (Sumatra)
The traditional rubber agroforests are complex multi-strata systems
important for biodiversity, yet are being destroyed by the intensification of
agriculture and other land uses
Potential to conserve biodiversity within rubber agroforests depends on
appropriate innovative interventions, including payment mechanisms.
The World Agroforestry Centre (ICRAF) in partnership with local NGOs
WARSI and Gita Buana, implemented an action-research project in Bungo
district in Jambi, Sumatra on reward mechanisms for conservation of
traditional rubber agroforests.
Agreements to conserve 2,000 ha of jungle rubber were made with four
villages. Rewards in the form of support to establish micro-hydro power
generators, local tree nurseries and model village forests were provided.

17. Estimates of the amount of land available for forest landscape restoration
(FLR) activities range from 350 to 850 million ha.
The Global Partnership on Forest Landscape Restoration identifies three
main principles which characterise FLR:
1. Restoration of a balanced and agreed-upon package of forest functions;
2. Active collaboration and negotiation among a mix of stakeholders; and
3. Working across a landscape.
Restored forest landscapes may include areas protected for watershed
management and nature conservation, well-managed commercial
plantations, tree buffers or strips along rivers to protect against flooding and
erosion, agroforestry systems, and planned community development.
Restored forest landscapes can provide a range of benefits such as
employment opportunities, a source of timber for forest industries and local
communities, increased habitats for animals and plants, a secure and high-
quality supply of water, and recreation and tourism opportunities.

18. Restoring forests in the Miyun Reservoir watershed
benefits rural and city communities (China)
Three quarters of the forests in the watershed of China’s Miyun
Reservoir – which provides most of the drinking water for Beijing’s 17
million residents – are in poor condition.
Many of the residents of the watershed are poor and economically
disadvantaged, especially compared to their neighbours in the city.
The IUCN Livelihoods and Landscape Strategy is working with the
Beijing Forestry Society to enhance local peoples’ access to forest
products, improve benefits for community livelihoods, and increase
household income by 25%. Activities being undertaken include:
Developing a multi-stakeholder landscape and biodiversity restoration plan
for the Miyun reservoir watershed
Investigating and improving the potential for alternative energy sources,
NTFP production and ecotourism
Improving compensation schemes for the ecosystem services of the Miyun
reservoir.

19. A protected area is defined by IUCN as: an area of land and/or sea
especially dedicated to the protection and maintenance of biological
diversity, and of natural and associated cultural resources, and managed
through legal or other effective means (IUCN n.d.).
Forested protected areas can help safeguard a range of ecosystem goods
and services, and are therefore a vital tool in managing for resilient forest
ecosystems, and forest-dependent communities.
Protected areas provide valuable and numerous benefits to:
Protect biological diversity and evolutionary processes
Prevent and reduce poverty by supporting livelihoods, providing social and
cultural governance and subsistence values
Ensuring breeding grounds for wildlife and fish, critical to food security
Generate tremendous direct economic benefits, and serve as a key asset
for the tourism industry—critical to many developing economies.

CASE STUDY
GOOD
PRACTICES
Livelihood benefits of an extractive forest reserve (Brazil)
The 506,200 ha Alto Juruá Extractive Reserve (AJER), is located in the
westernmost part of the Amazon, and was created in 1990.
The creation of AJER has allowed inhabitants within the reserve to
organise to create management plans, and to allocate responsibilities
for reserve governance.
More secure land and tenure rights accompanying reserve creation
have led to diversification of the local economy — beans have replaced
rubber as the primary commodity, and are grown mainly on riverbanks.
Analysis of forest cover changes during the first decade of AJER’s
establishment (1989-2000) indicates deforestation to have occurred in
only 1% of the area.
There have been indications of recovery of threatened species such as
jaguar, tapir, peccaries, and several species of primates, assumed to be
linked to the depopulation of remote forest areas.
21. The Millennium Ecosystem Assessment estimates that up to 96% of the
value of forests is derived from non-timber forest products (NTFPs) and
services (MEA 2005).
Most of the more than 5,000 commercial forest products are non-timber
products, including pharmaceuticals and food.
Forests are often the ‘pharmacy’ and ‘supermarket’ for the rural poor.
Yet, the important role of NTFPs in the national and particular rural
economy is often not reflected in national statistics, or in relevant
strategies and plans.
Good forest governance, including clear tenure rights and proper law
enforcement, plays a crucial role for the sustainable use of NTFPs. The
most successful approaches for governance are based on a ‘tri-partite
approach’, with government, civil society, and the private sector jointly
agreeing upon necessary reforms and improvements.

22. The Novella Africa Initiative (East, Central and West Africa)
CASE STUDY
Sources: IUCN 2008, UNDP n.d.
GOOD
PRACTICES
The Novella Africa Initiative is a public-private partnership formed in
2002 by Unilever, a number of internataional NGOs , and governmental
organizations and NGOs in Africa.
The initiative is undertaking commercial scale collection and
extraction of oil from seeds of the Allanblackia (AB) tree, which is native
to tropical forests of West, Central and East Africa. This oil is used by
Unilever to make food products, such as spreads, and detergents.
In Ghana and Tanzania, the planting of AB trees is increasing from
several thousand to about 100,000 trees a year and is being
incorporated into forest landscape restoration projects.
The project is expected to grow to include 150,000 farmers in Ghana,
Tanzania, Nigeria, Cameroon, and Liberia over the next decade,
generating US$100 million in returns.
23. The omission of NFTPs from government development strategies and
policies makes them more susceptible to unsustainable, unregulated and
unauthorized harvesting, as in the case of bushmeat hunting.
Bushmeat hunting is the extraction from the wild of any non-
domesticated terrestrial mammal, bird, reptile, and amphibian.
Hunting for food in tropical forests is an issue of concern as the scale of
hunting occurring in these regions threatens many tropical forest species; it
is also linked to the food security and livelihood of numerous tropical forest-
region inhabitants, who have few alternative sources of protein and income.
Greater attention must therefore be given to governance issues (e.g.
policy and legislation, links to development assistance) and treating the
high-value bushmeat trade as an aspect of the national economy.
Local empowerment of resource users is a potential key strategy to
achieve long-term sustainability.

CASE STUDY
Source: Nasi et al. 2008
GOOD
PRACTICES
The Reserva Comunal Tamshiyacu-Tahuayo in the Peruvian Amazon
comprises some 3,225 km2.
The diversity of mammals in the reserve is greater than in any other
protected area in the Amazon, and possibly globally.
Hunting pressure is limited to local subsistence consumption, sales of
dried meat to Iquitos, and peccary pelts for sale to overseas markets.
Wildlife management draws on community-based and co-
management strategies, involving local communities, government
agencies, NGO extension workers and researchers.
Decisions on resource use and management are voted upon during
community meetings, and are informed by research and monitoring.
Data shows that harvests of all species except tapir are sustainable,
and ways are being sought to ensure that tapir hunting is also reduced
to sustainable levels.
25. Payments for environmental services
Payments for environmental services (PES) can be defined as: voluntary
transactions whereby a defined environmental service (or a land-use likely
to secure that service) is bought by a buyer from a provider, on the
condition that the provider secures provision of the service (Wunder 2008).
PES is a type of economic instrument that provides incentives to land
owners to supply environmental services, which benefit society more
broadly.
Environmental services markets have been developed for carbon
sequestration, watershed services, biodiversity conservation, and
landscape beauty / recreation.
PES projects can potentially serve the dual goals of preserving critical
ecosystem services and the biodiversity upon which they depend, while
also contributing to poverty reduction (UNEP and IUCN n.d.).

26. Pioneering payments for forest environmental services (Costa Rica)
Source: Pagiola 2008
CASE STUDY
GOOD
PRACTICES
Costa Rica’s Pagos por Servicios Ambientales (PSA) recognizes four
environmental services provided by forests: mitigation of greenhouse gas
emissions, hydrological services, biodiversity conservation, and provision
of scenic beauty for recreation and ecotourism.
Landowners must submit a sustainable forest management plan,
prepared by a licensed forester, describing plans for preventing poaching
and illegal harvesting, and outlining monitoring schedules.
Payments for landowners: US$64/ha/year for forest conservation plans,
and US$816/ha over 10 years for plantations.
As of 2005, about 270,000 ha were enrolled in the programme,
primarily as forest conservation contracts.
The PSA programme has been partly credited for helping Costa Rica,
once having some of the world’s highest deforestation rates, to achieve
zero net deforestation by the early 2000s.
27. The role of indigenous and local communities
Forests are home to an estimated 60 million indigenous people, who are
directly dependent on forest resources and the health of forest
ecosystems for their livelihoods.
The cultural and spiritual identity of Indigenous Peoples is often linked
to intact primary forests with their rich biodiversity.
In the Amazon basin, for example, knowledge of the medicinal,
nutritional and cultural uses of over 1,300 different forest plants is
common in local indigenous communities.
Forest operations, as well as landscape-level planning, should take into
account both the rights and traditional knowledge of indigenous and local
communities.
The main principle for achieving this is through the effective
participation of indigenous peoples and local stakeholders in decision-
making and governance processes, on the basis of free, prior and
informed consent to any projects, plans or changes that affect their
communities, traditional lifestyles, and environment.

cultural sites (Congo)
CASE STUDY
Source: CTA 2008
GOOD
PRACTICES
Congolaise Industrielle des Bois (CIB) manages a 1.3 million hectare
area of Congolese forest home to 9,000 Mbendjele Pygmies.
Standards set by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) require CIB to
protect ‘sites of special cultural, ecological, economic or religious
significance to indigenous peoples’.
Such information can only come directly from the Mbendjeles, who
are dispersed throughout the forest, and most do not speak any
European languages.
The “Indigenous People’s Voices project” allows the Mbendjeles to
plot significant forest areas using a geographic information system (GIS),
which are then accounted for in CIB’s harvesting plans.
Using GIS and radio technology, the Mbendjele keep each other
informed about areas to be protected and areas to be logged, thereby
helping them protect their land and culture.
29. Forest biodiversity in national strategies
and action plans
National Biodiversity Strategies and Action Plans (NBSAPs) are important
national tools for the conservation and sustainable use of forest
biodiversity, but forests are also addressed in a number of other strategies
and action plans, such as Poverty Reduction Strategy Papers (PRSPs).
PRSPs, NBSAPs, National Forestry Programmes, and other strategies and
plans, must converge towards a holistic approach to natural resource
management at a landscape level.

The HASHI (Hifadhi Ardhi Shinyanga—Swahili for soil conservation)
project supports restoration of ngitili (forest and shrubland set aside as
traditional grazing and fodder reserves).
Prior to the HASHI project, the forest lands of Shinyanga were highly
degraded as a result of government (both colonial and postcolonial)
policies, such as villagization and commercial coffee growing.
The 2002 Forest Act permits forest tenure at the local level through
Village land forest reserves and Community forest reserves; rights to use
and sell forest products from ngitili are recognized.
By 2004, at least 350,000 hectares of ngitili were restored or created
in 833 villages, encompassing a population of 2.8 million. The estimated
benefit per person per month of ngitili is US$14.
31. Access and benefit-sharing
The third objective of the Convention on Biological Diversity provides for
“the fair and equitable sharing of the benefits arising out of the utilisation
of genetic resources…”
The properties of some genetic resources from timber and non-timber
forest products have contributed to the development of a broad range of
products, including pharmaceuticals and cosmetics.
The Convention establishes that a person or institution seeking access to
a biological resource in a foreign country in order to use its genetic
material, should seek the prior informed consent of the country in which
the resource is located.
The sharing of benefits, through technology transfer, research results,
training, and profits can contribute to poverty reduction and sustainable
development in biodiversity rich developing countries.
Sharing of benefits can take the form of payment of royalties, joint
ownership over property rights, provision of equipment, etc..

shown potential to provide treatment for the human
immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1);
Cussonia zimmermannii, a tree found in Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda
and Mozambique and widely distributed in South Africa is used as a
remedy for mental disorders;
The bark of the Prunus Africana tree, in sub-Saharan Africa has
been used by local communities for the treatment of a variety of
illnesses, including malaria, syphilis, high blood pressure, Asthma,
etc.
33. Communication, education and public awareness
One of the core principles of Sustainable Forest Management (SFM) is
that it reflects a diverse range of societal values in reference to forest
conservation and use.
Public awareness raising and communication activities play a critical role
in informing and educating the public, thereby allowing them to more
effectively participate in SFM decision-making.
SFM requires the support at varying times and places from different
government departments, NGOs, indigenous and local communities,
business and industry, scientists, women’s groups, youth, and community-
based groups.
To work with these different groups, communication, education and
public awareness (CEPA) are crucial instruments to build trust,
understanding and shared agreements for action and to reduce conflict.
CEPA is needed to help people work together and innovate, and spread
information, knowledge, values and goals.
