The document discusses Adam Smith's contributions to political economy, including his ideas about the division of labor, self-interest, competition, and the invisible hand coordinating the market. It also covers different dimensions and scales of governance, from the community level to the international level, and provides examples of place-based, identity-based, and interest-based communities. Local governance and structures like municipal councils are examined.

The document summarizes case studies on the impact of FLEGT and REDD+ processes on community rights in several African countries, including Cameroon, Ghana, Republic of Congo, Gabon, and Democratic Republic of Congo. In Cameroon, while efforts have been made to enforce forest laws and involve communities, problems remain such as weak compliance by companies with social responsibilities and benefit sharing. The country signed a FLEGT VPA in 2010 but licenses have yet to be issued. The R-PP was approved in 2012 but its impact on community rights is still unclear. Overall, the report aims to assess progress on legal reforms and stakeholder participation under FLEGT and REDD+, identify good practices, and provide recommendations

The document compares community forests and domestic forests in Cameroon. Community forests are granted by the state for 25 years and have management plans, while domestic forests are under customary ownership with no state oversight. However, community forest rules are often not followed in practice due to local livelihood needs. While community forests may offer economic opportunities, domestic forests still provide most household income from agriculture and resources remain managed under customary rules rather than conservation plans. Overall community forests have not significantly changed local forest management approaches.

Linking great apes and poverty: the case of orangutans in Asia

CIFOR-ICRAF

The document discusses the crisis facing orangutans in Asia, as their habitat has decreased by more than 80% in the last 20 years due to logging, burning of forests for oil palm and rubber plantations, and small-holder agriculture. There are estimated to be between 20,000 and 30,000 orangutans remaining in the wild. While orangutans are legally protected, government policies aimed at poverty alleviation have primarily damaged environmental protection. Efforts to link orangutan conservation to poverty reduction through ecotourism or REDD+ programs have been unclear or uncompetitive with more profitable land uses like oil palm.

CIFOR-ICRAF

This document discusses the need to consider landscapes beyond protected areas for conservation purposes. It summarizes research from projects in Southeast Asia analyzing what data is needed to assess and manage biodiversity in landscape mosaics. The projects found that understanding livelihoods, land use patterns, governance, and ecosystem services is critical for landscape-scale conservation and development initiatives. Monitoring is also important but often lacking. Integrating tools like modeling can help landscape planning but solutions must be context specific and consider tradeoffs between conservation and development.

Traditional wildlife hunting has been described mainly from studies of local practices and from the monitoring of urban bushmeat markets. However, the overall value chain connecting hunters to end consumers remains largely unknown, thus preventing any estimate of the actual socio-economic importance of the bushmeat sector. On the basis of existing literature, this talk provides an order of magnitude for the financial and economic benefits of the bushmeat commodity chain in Cameroon. This presentation was given by Guillaume Lescuyer and Robert Nasi of CIFOR at the 53rd Annual Meeting of the Association of Tropical Biology and Conservation.

Forests, food security and nutrition: an update

CIFOR-ICRAF

This document discusses the relationship between forests, trees, and food/nutritional security. It provides evidence that forests and trees play an important role in supporting nutrition and livelihoods for many communities. Forest foods and ecosystem services from forests can contribute significantly to more diverse and nutrient-rich diets. However, more empirical research is still needed to better understand these relationships and how forest loss may impact food security and nutrition.

PEN: How global-comparative data challenges conventional wisdom

CIFOR-ICRAF

The PEN (Poverty-Environment Network) project is a large, comprehensive analysis of the linkages between poverty and the environment across 24 countries in the tropics. It involved detailed data collection through nearly 40 studies across over 8,000 households. The data challenges some conventional understandings by finding that rural smallholders derive a significant portion of their income, around 27.5%, from forests and the environment. This highlights the continued importance of extractive incomes from natural resources for rural livelihoods. Further analyses of the PEN data aim to provide insights to help improve measurement of these environmental incomes.

Landscape-scale management for sustainable development

CIFOR-ICRAF

The document discusses the landscape approach for sustainable development. It defines landscapes as areas that include both biophysical and human/social components. The landscape approach has evolved over time from integrated conservation and development projects in the 1980s to more modern frameworks that aim to concurrently address conservation, development, and restoration. Key aspects of the modern landscape approach include adaptive management, stakeholder involvement, integration of multiple objectives like poverty alleviation and food security, and consideration of trade-offs. The document outlines 10 principles of the landscape approach and provides initial examples of projects applying this framework. It also discusses aligning the landscape approach with achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

Wildlife: a forgotten and threatened resource

CIFOR-ICRAF

The harvest of forest wildlife provides invaluable benefits to local people, but understanding of such practices remains fragmentary. With global attention drawn to the issue of declining biodiversity, this talk assesses the consequences, both for ecosystems and local livelihoods, of the loss of important forest resources, and alternative management options. This presentation was given by Robert Nasi of CIFOR at the 53rd Annual Meeting of the Association of Tropical Biology and Conservation.

Role of bushmeat in food security and nutrition

CIFOR-ICRAF

This presentation highlights the importance of bushmeat for the food security, nutrition and income of rural and urban populations in the Amazon and Congo Basins. Following an introduction on the size and nature of the bushmeat value chain, we show the potential ecological, economical and nutritional crises if we pursue unsustainable practices. We then propose a portfolio of solution around a more sustainable supply, a reduced demand and a conducive enabling environment at national and international levels.

This document discusses community forestry and timber production in Latin America. It summarizes that devolution of forest rights to communities has led to an uneven and sometimes disappointing process. However, some traditional and indigenous communities in Mexico with strong social capital and organizational structures have been able to engage in successful collective action for timber production through community forest enterprises (CFEs). Key factors in their success include existing governance structures, clearly defined property rights, human and social capital development, and support from government and NGOs. The emergence of "supercommunity" CFEs with substantial assets shows that with the right conditions, communities can become internationally competitive timber businesses.

The document discusses community-based forest management (CBFM) and joint forest management (JFM) approaches in Tanzania. It provides context on Tanzania's forest coverage and definitions of CBFM and JFM. It then summarizes the potential impacts of CBFM on livelihoods, the current status of participatory forest management in Tanzania, and some challenges. The document concludes by discussing opportunities for REDD+ carbon financing and considerations around ownership, benefit-sharing, and payment mechanisms.

1. The document examines the complex "governance arrangements and institutions" that govern forest product value chains in Cameroon, which involve diverse actors harvesting resources from forests and trading them locally and internationally. 2. These governance systems are described as a "fine mess" with "overlapping and multiple layers of institutions" that have changed over time, including both customary and new hybrid systems. Actors involved in the chains engage in "institutional bricolage" to navigate this complex environment. 3. The impacts of these arrangements on livelihoods and sustainability are varied, with some groups like women benefiting from more opportunities, while those further in the chains towards trading and markets face higher risks and dependence on

Global Trends in Land Tenure Reform_Ch4

Judith van Eijnatten

The document discusses land tenure reforms in Cameroon and their negative impacts, particularly on women. It focuses on the 1994 Forestry Law which established community forests but maintained state ownership of land. This has disadvantaged women by prioritizing men's timber exploitation over women's collection of non-timber forest products. The law's requirements also empower educated men over marginalized groups like women. However, a recent project demonstrated that improving organization and market access can help women benefit commercially from non-timber products under the law.

Presented as part of the Seminar on Securing Forest and Community Land Rights - Challenges, Trends and Ways Forward. The seminar focused on forests and other off-farm areas that constitute vital resources for the food security and livelihoods of the rural poor in many developing countries. These lands are often used in integrated ways by local communities under communal customary arrangements while often formally owned by the state. Unclear land rights make these resources and associated livelihoods particularly vulnerable in the current context of increased demand for land; this needs to be better recognized and articulated in discussions on land rights and responsible land investments.

This document discusses tenure security and co-management in community forestry, using examples from the Philippines. It makes three key points: 1. Traditional tenure systems provided long-term management of forest resources by communities, but increasing pressures have weakened these systems. Re-establishing tenure security through instruments like co-management can empower communities to restore sustainable practices. 2. Co-management involves stakeholders like communities and government agencies partnering in substantial involvement in management. It requires defining partnership roles and can help address conflicts over resource use. 3. Elements to consider in co-management agreements include the area boundaries, resource uses, stakeholders, management responsibilities, benefits, priorities, plans, conflict resolution processes, enforcement, and

Participatory Forest Management (Pakistan)

Student

Participatory Forest Management (PFM) is a strategy for sustainable forest management that encourages local communities living near forests to manage or co-manage forest resources. PFM aims to involve local stakeholders in decision making for forest management. In the 1980s, governments began decentralizing natural resource management to local institutions to reduce costs, more effectively protect resources and local livelihoods, and increase local responsiveness and efficiency through community participation and skills. PFM strategies include Community Based Forest Management, where villagers fully own and manage village lands, and Joint Forest Management, where government and communities collaboratively manage government forest reserves.

Isabelle Anguelovski-Theoretical Perspectives on Environmental Inequalities

environmentalconflicts

This document discusses theoretical perspectives on environmental inequalities and justice from multiple dimensions. It examines justice as distribution, recognition, procedure, and capabilities. Environmental injustices stem from unequal distribution, lack of recognition of marginalized groups, lack of participation in decision making, and limited opportunities and agency. The roles of social metabolism, corporations, the state, alliances, movements, racism, and lack of political power in perpetuating environmental inequalities are also analyzed.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...

indexPub

The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
