Communities now own or manage a quarter of the world’s tropical forests, but the case studies in this presentation illustrate the many key challenges remaining for smallholder and community forest management in the tropics. For example, the customary rights of smallholders and communities are still not properly recognised; there are discrepancies between the law and the reality in forest management and use; and there are difficulties in linking communities to markets. CIFOR scientist Amy Duchelle explains how the smallholder and community forest management model came about, and where we need to go next. She gave this presentation on 16 June 2012 as part of the Forest Stewardship Council’s side event at Rio+20. She was answering the topic “Focussing on smallholders and forest communities: achievements and challenges at the local level”.

Growing forest partnerships and the investing in locally controlled initiative

CIFOR-ICRAF

The document discusses the Growing Forest Partnerships & Investing in Locally Controlled Initiative, a World Bank funded effort to increase stakeholder participation in forest policy. It is working in several countries to identify priorities, test projects, and link local and national decision-making. The initiative also facilitates global dialogues on investing in locally controlled forestry. Several alliances of forest rights holders are mentioned that promote community forestry and sustainable management. Locally controlled forestry is defined as decisions made by local forest owners and communities with secure tenure rights and access to markets.

Kanel National Adaptation Plan Role Of Land Rights Keshav Kanel Oct 2008

rightsandclimate

Nepal has proposed several adaptation strategies including focusing on agriculture, water resources, forests, biodiversity, health, and integrating sectors. Some ways to strengthen adaptation discussed are handing over national forests to communities, land reform, improving natural resource governance, enhancing community capacity, and increasing resiliency. Over 35% of national forests have been handed over to about 40% of households, and communities now have access, use, and management rights over forests. Devolving more control to communities over natural resources is seen as a way to increase resiliency.

CIFOR-ICRAF

This presentation by Naya Sharma Paudel & Ani Adiwinata Nawir given during the Forests Asia Summit in the discussion forum "Equitable development: What is the fairest of them all? Assessing aspects of equity in incentive mechanisms for natural resource conservation and management" focuses on why CF can provide some lessons for REDD+, the importance of community forestry in Nepal and CF as an unique tenure arrangement.

The evolving role of tropical forests for local livelihoods in Indonesia

CIFOR-ICRAF

This document summarizes research on how the role of tropical forests has evolved for local livelihoods in Indonesia. Key findings include: (1) Forests remain important but their significance is declining for local communities. (2) Major trends affecting livelihoods and forests are development projects, logging/mining activities, floods, and decreasing yields of rice and eaglewood. (3) While development projects improved infrastructure, they also degraded forests and environmental resources that communities rely on. Balancing conservation and development that supports sustainable local livelihoods is important going forward.

Communnity Based Forest Management

Achal Gupta

Community-based forest management (CFM) involves inclusive participation of local communities in the sustainable management of forests. CFM is more informal and autonomous than joint forest management, with private ownership rather than state ownership. CFM aims to develop poor forest communities through generating income, employment, and sustainable management. It enhances the capacity of non-timber forest product stakeholders. CFM is community-driven, with communities making decisions and the state monitoring and providing guidance. CFM has been practiced in many villages across India, involving over 12,000-15,000 villages in northeast India and protecting 1-2 million hectares of forest land.

A presentation on community forest

Ebidhya

Community forests in Nepal cover 25% of the country's forest land and are managed by over 14,000 local community forest user groups (CFUGs) representing 35% of Nepal's population. Under the 1993 Forest Act, national forests are handed over to CFUGs for protection, management, and sustainable use. Since 1978, community forestry has led to increased forest cover, social mobilization, income generation, and institutional development at the local level. However, challenges remain in ensuring disadvantaged groups' access, improving technical forest management, focusing on local needs, and supporting women and the poor through CFUG decision making. Overall, community forestry shows promise for sustainable forest management if democratic processes and people's participation are strengthened

This document summarizes a presentation about using multi-stakeholder dialogue processes to address deforestation issues. It provides an overview of The Forests Dialogue organization, which facilitates constructive discussions between stakeholders to find collaborative solutions to challenges in the forestry sector. It describes lessons learned from TFD's dialogues in Indonesia around issues like intensively managed plantation forests, free and informed consent, and investing in locally controlled forestry. The presentation emphasizes that multi-stakeholder processes can build trust, share perspectives, and help develop collaborative approaches to issues like reducing deforestation.

Steven Lawry, Director of Equity, Gender and Tenure research program at Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR) summarized findings of selected meta-analyses, presented case studies from Nepal, Guatemala, and Mexico, and previewed emerging research looking at the investment effects of community forestry models that feature strong elements of forest rights devolution.

26 0930 1_mrlg_introduction on customary tenure

mrlgregion

This document discusses customary forest tenure in the Mekong region. It defines customary tenure as a set of rules and norms created by communities over time to govern land and resource allocation, use, access, and transfer. It notes the over 200 ethnic groups and 70 million people in the region rely on rotational agro-forestry and community-based practices. The document provides an overview of the laws and policies related to customary tenure and community forestry in Cambodia, Lao PDR, Myanmar, and Vietnam. It concludes by stating opportunities exist to further recognize and formalize customary tenure rights in the region.

26 0930 3_cegorn_customary tenure recognition in vietnam

mrlgregion

This document discusses community-based forest management in Vietnam. It notes that over 1.26 million hectares of forestland is managed by community forest groups. The forestry law of 2017 recognized customary forest practices and prioritized forest allocation to ethnic minority communities. However, challenges remain around the legal framework, local institutional capacity and flexibility, market access, and safeguards for vulnerable groups. Case studies show how cooperatives have helped communities market forest products and increase land tenure security. Moving forward, greater recognition of community tenure rights is needed alongside legal reforms and capacity building to strengthen community forest management.

This document summarizes a presentation on indigenous women's access and political rights to forest spaces and territories in Asia. It notes that indigenous communities, about half of whom are women, are highly dependent on forests but face challenges to their customary practices and lack of recognition of their knowledge. The presentation highlights indigenous women's roles as knowledge holders and protectors of forests. It identifies gaps in research, indigenous women's empowerment and representation. It outlines interventions by the Asia Indigenous Peoples Pact such as documenting best practices, strengthening indigenous women's organizations, and advocating for indigenous women's rights in decision-making platforms.

26 1400 1_fao_global & regional overview of community forest tenure

mrlgregion

This document discusses global and regional trends in forest tenure for communities and smallholders. Over the past 40 years, there has been a trend toward stronger legal recognition of community-based forestry rights, with about 1/3 of forests now owned or managed by local communities. However, while legal rights have strengthened in many places, implementation remains a challenge, limiting the potential economic benefits. Six key factors are identified that could help unlock greater benefits if tenure rights were strengthened, including improving forest governance and sustaining livelihoods.

26 1400 3_ntfp-ep_regional customary tenure & cso forum

mrlgregion

This document discusses increasing customary and collective forest tenure in the Mekong region through a regional policy framework. It begins by defining forest tenure and customary rights. It then describes a regional workstream led by participating organizations to strengthen customary tenure rights through national alliances in Cambodia, Lao PDR, Myanmar and Vietnam. The objectives are to develop a common understanding of customary forest tenure, address contradictions in policies, and develop guidelines for customary forest tenure principles, processes, roles and responsibilities. A regional framework could complement bright spots in national policies, slow deforestation, and strengthen forest governance and indigenous participation.

26 1115 regional 1_recoftc ct recognition

mrlgregion

This document discusses pathways for recognizing customary tenure in the Mekong region. It describes customary tenure as the rules and norms that govern a community's relationship to and use of forest and land resources. There are three main pathways for recognizing customary tenure: self-recognition by communities, co-recognition between communities and external actors, and legal/statutory recognition by the state. Both informal pathways like community mapping and formal agreements, and formal pathways like community forestry programs and land titling, have challenges and opportunities to secure communities' tenure rights and livelihoods. Formal recognition of customary tenure is still limited in providing full rights and can be complex, but opportunities exist to better support self- and co-recognition and increase statutory recognition

Empowering Community-Based Climate Solutions

equatorinitiative

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.”

CIFOR-ICRAF

This document discusses scientific knowledge and traditional ecological knowledge regarding non-timber forest products in Latin America. It finds that there are significant gaps in scientific knowledge about key ecological variables for many species, especially regarding their population dynamics, regeneration, and effects of harvesting. Traditional knowledge developed over thousands of years offers important complementary insights into forest management, but it is rarely documented. A case study on Himatanthus drasticus shows that new collaborative research between scientists and traditional communities generated knowledge that had greater similarities to traditional knowledge than previous scientific studies alone. The document argues that integrating different knowledge systems can lead to more effective forest management strategies.

Discuss the Changing discourses in policy arena and current status of Nepal.

Amit Chaudhary

Changing Discourses in Forest Policy Arena and Current Status is a term paper presentation on forest policy, laws, and international conventions in Nepal. It discusses the historical shifts in Nepal's forest policy discourse from 1950 to present day across four periods: strict protection (1950-1975), resource creation for crisis management (1975-1986), participatory forestry (1986-2008), and broad-based global normative discourse (2008-onwards). The current status synthesizes these historical shifts and frames Nepal's forest policy with a focus on sustainable and participatory resource use, prosperity, and maintaining forest cover through cooperation across stakeholders.

A Future for Social Forestry in the Indonesia and ASEAN Economic Community (AEC)

CIFOR-ICRAF

This document discusses the potential for social forestry in Indonesia and ASEAN. It notes that past forest management policies have failed to guarantee community access and led to degradation, but that social forestry provides communities long-term forest access and improves livelihoods. It outlines social forestry targets and activities in Indonesia, including enterprise development and partnerships around bamboo, silk, agarwood, and rattan. Research, investment, and multistakeholder engagement are needed to ensure sustainable social forestry and value chains that can contribute to ASEAN economic integration goals.

Potentiality and constraint of Private Forest in Nepal

DiveshShrestha1

- Private forests in Nepal can be categorized as registered, unregistered but with land ownership, and de facto ownership without formal rights. Only a small percentage are officially registered. - Private forests make significant contributions to timber supply and the national economy, though farmers face constraints such as complex permitting processes and restrictions on harvesting and transporting high-value species. - Recommendations include making regulations more flexible, providing financial incentives to private forest owners, and enhancing support services to increase commercialization opportunities.
