This document proposes a project to enhance knowledge sharing of sustainable land management (SLM) practices through audio-visual messages from land users. The objectives are to give voice to land users, share local and scientific SLM knowledge between land users and the global community, and highlight land user adaptations to climate change. SLM technologies and approaches would be documented using the standardized WOCAT format and enhanced through video clips of land users explaining practices. Six proposed products include videos shared online and through national broadcasts to spread documented SLM practices.

overall objective
enhance existing WOCAT knowledge
with video and new media for
knowledge sharing in SLM
specific objectives
give voice to land users
audio-visualize local and scientific SLM knowledge
share SLM knowledge between land users, planners and global community
highlight dependency of land users within watersheds
show land users' adaptations to changing environment
link local improvements with global concerns

8. Key questions to land users
How was practice done?
How does it work?
What degradation is addressed?
What are the local and regional impacts / benefits?
What is the difference between SLM practice and
non-practice?
How does practice cope with extreme climate
events?
