The document summarizes a meeting that took place from June 26-29, 2018 in Rome, Italy to discuss fisheries tenure as part of the EU Land Governance Programme. The meeting included role playing and group discussions about how changes to tenure rules would impact different actors in a fishing community, including elders, fishermen, women, and merchants. The elders decided to implement new rules ensuring fishing access rights, consultative decision making, and requiring fishermen to give their catch to their wives or female relatives. This was expected to change how the different actors behave and interact. Key issues that could impact fishing communities were identified, such as marginalization and insecure tenure, as well as potential opportunities like empowering stakeholders and improved governance.
Global taxonomy initiative ppt
The Global Taxonomy Initiative (GTI) was developed by the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) to address the lack of taxonomic information and expertise, known as the "taxonomic impediment", which undermines conservation efforts. The GTI aims to facilitate access to taxonomic knowledge to inform decision-making. It has a program of work comprising 19 activities within 5 operational objectives focused on assessing needs, building capacity, facilitating information access, generating taxonomic information to support CBD thematic programs, and cross-cutting issues. Parties to the CBD and other organizations collaborate under the GTI to advance global taxonomic research and training.

The document summarizes the progress and next steps of a project in Colombia that aims to address land governance and socio-environmental conflicts in protected natural areas. Over 60% of protected areas have been transformed due to land use and occupation. The project works to strengthen dialogue between communities and authorities, develop guidelines for land management, and restore territorial rights affected by conflict. Progress includes characterizing conflicts in 5 parks, diagnosing land tenure issues, and assisting over 700 families with territorial rights. Challenges include overcoming restrictions from armed groups. Next steps are to generate policy inputs, continue support for dialogue platforms, and implement capacity building and communication plans.
Grassroots involvement in Rural development policy in Romania, Atilla Szocs
Eco Ruralis is a grassroots organization in Romania representing over 5,000 small peasant farmers. It aims to promote sustainable small-scale family farming and agroecology. Rural development in Romania faces challenges such as an aging farmer population, land grabbing, rural exodus, and lack of market access for small farms. Eco Ruralis works to address these issues through organizing farmers, seed sharing, advocacy, and creating alternative food networks. It calls for policies that stop land grabbing and speculative investments, maintain fair access to land, enhance biodiversity, and support short farm to fork supply chains and local markets over industrial agriculture and supermarket consolidation.

Presented in the Canadian Sustainable Technology for the Mining Sector, Jakarta, September 2018. The slide highlights regulatory framework of mine closure in Indonesia compared with International Guidelines.Perspectives and initiatives of indigenous and community organizations
Indigenous peoples and community organizations are actively engaged in the climate change dialogue. They call for respect of indigenous rights and their role in climate action. Carbon trading schemes are seen as ineffective and a new form of colonialism by expropriating indigenous lands. Indigenous forums have called for principles of free prior and informed consent, benefit sharing, and independent monitoring in climate projects. Indigenous groups are also conducting their own research on climate impacts and developing community-based adaptation and mitigation initiatives.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
