This document summarizes research on how eco-tourism provides a source of livelihood for marginalized communities in Kenya. It defines key terms like eco-tourism, marginalization, and the principles of eco-tourism. It then discusses how marginalized communities in Kenya, like the Maasai, have turned to eco-tourism projects that allow them to earn a living while preserving the environment through activities like tree planting. Eco-tourism also helps marginalized communities maintain their local culture. However, land issues present legal challenges for marginalized communities pursuing eco-tourism. The document examines Kenya's legal framework regarding the rights of marginalized groups and environmental protection.
The document discusses the IUCN Water & Nature Initiative (WANI) which aims to mainstream an ecosystem approach into water management. It provides examples of WANI's work in river basins around the world between 2001-2008 that led to new water policies, empowered stakeholders, restored ecosystems, and mobilized over $40 million in funding. The initiative demonstrated that taking an integrated, multi-stakeholder approach to water management can build resilience and help communities adapt to problems like water scarcity, declining water quality, and climate change impacts.
The extractives industry is a major sector in the economies
of the region as it makes a significant contribution to GDP
and constitutes a large portion of exports. However, the
sector's impact on the livelihoods of citizens has not been as
positive. To the contrary, some argue that the industry has
worsened the state of things in many nations, weakening
effective governance by engendering corruption.
This issue explores trends in sustainable development and
the extractives industry. The first article surveys emerging
trends, the second article examines trends in local content,
and the third article is a case study of the community-level
impact of the mining sector in Sierra Leone.

Hazard reduction strategies for flood vulnerable communities of anambra state...Alexander Decker
This document summarizes a study on hazard reduction strategies for flood vulnerable communities in Anambra State, Nigeria. The study found that the 2012 floods had a major impact in Anambra State, displacing over 2.3 million people and killing 363. It analyzed the structure and operations of flood management agencies in Nigeria from the national to local levels. The study recommended sustainable strategies like improving coordination among agencies, developing flood maps and public participation techniques, building flood-resistant infrastructure, and empowering vulnerable communities through groups and capacity building. Adopting a multi-sector approach and reviewing agency policies and structures were also suggested to better mitigate flooding in Anambra State.
The document discusses the concept of sustainable rural livelihoods from various perspectives. It examines sustainability from an economic, ecological, and social lens. A sustainable livelihood is one that provides adequate resources and income to meet needs over time while maintaining the environment and social systems. The document outlines factors that determine rural livelihoods like birth, gender, and inheritance. It also discusses livelihood resources, strategies like agriculture intensification, diversification, and migration, and the outcomes of improved livelihood sustainability like increased income, reduced poverty and vulnerability, and protection of natural resources.
This is the fifth edition of B-M EMEA's quarterly trends newsletter FUTURE Perspective. This edition focuses on biodiversity, cloud computing, high transparency banking and Death 2.0.
Biodiversity is declining at an alarming rate due to human activity and climate change. While some progress has been made through national biodiversity strategies and increased funding, more urgent action is needed to conserve vulnerable species and ecosystems. Companies also need to address biodiversity issues in their operations and value chains to mitigate risks and opportunities. Direct conservation efforts must continue alongside steps to safeguard ecosystem services important for human welfare.
This document provides an overview of Module 3 from an e-learning course on developing local assets and community strategies in post-disaster areas. The module discusses how engaging communities and using an asset-based approach can help disaster-impacted areas recover economically by developing community-based tourism. It provides examples of how Aceh, Indonesia was able to transition from a disaster site to a tourism destination by developing tsunami-related attractions. The module aims to teach how identifying and leveraging local assets can assist community recovery following a natural disaster.
Just as cities are hubs for innovations and investments that expand opportunities, they are also living laboratories confronting challenges of increasing complexity. They face a wide range of shocks and stresses ranging from natural hazards and climate change, to financial shocks and terrorism; slow-moving chronic stresses like poverty and violence and social conflict. As we consider how cities will adapt to the challenges of the 21st century – both known and unknown – the resilience agenda becomes increasingly important. This presentation highlights the Rockefeller Foundation’s understanding of city resilience, as informed by the RF-Arup City Resilience Framework, as well as its Resilience by Design portfolio, a series of place-based, landscape-scale interventions in U.S. coastal cities to show how we can build resilience with design while working with large federal institutions.

Resilience exists at multiple interconnected levels from individual to global. The IFRC aims to strengthen resilience by increasing capacities through humanitarian relief that also addresses underlying vulnerabilities and builds skills to better cope with future shocks.
This document discusses implementing an integrated sustainable waste management (ISWM) system in Bali, Indonesia to address its waste problems exacerbated by tourism. It outlines the key issues, stakeholders, and an ideal participatory ISWM approach. One proposed tech solution is using solar-powered compacting waste units placed strategically in tourist areas to improve waste collection habits while reducing costs and maintenance needs compared to the current system. Stakeholder cooperation and international pressure are needed to strengthen regulations and prioritize sustainable solutions over short-term fixes.
The document discusses mainstreaming disaster risk reduction into sustainable national water resources development programs in Nigeria. It outlines challenges to water resources management in Nigeria including devastating erosion, perennial flooding, recurring droughts and increasing desertification. The national approach to reducing water resources management related disasters includes the National Water Policy and National Erosion and Flood Control Policy. Integrating disaster risk reduction concerns into integrated water resources management requires strengthening institutions and legal frameworks. The document recommends promoting integrated water resources management planning and developing national disaster prevention and response systems to institutionalize disaster risk reduction in water resources development.
Invasive alien species are non-native plants, animals, and pathogens that harm ecosystems and biodiversity. Globalization has increased their spread by facilitating international trade and travel. Invasive species outcompete native species and disrupt ecosystems, and have contributed to nearly 40% of known animal extinctions. Examples include zebra mussels in North America, water hyacinth worldwide, and ship rats that have caused extinctions on islands. The Convention on Biological Diversity recognizes invasive species as a threat and calls on parties to prevent introductions and mitigate impacts. Prevention is the most effective approach, while management requires collaboration across many organizations and public awareness.

Ecotourism has grown rapidly but definitions vary widely. It aims to involve travel to natural areas in a sustainable way that benefits the environment and local communities. However, in practice ecotourism faces many criticisms. Large-scale operations can degrade the environment and exploit local people rather than helping them. There is a lack of regulation allowing "greenwashing" where unsustainable practices are misleadingly marketed. Negative impacts on communities include displacement, threats to culture, and environmental damage. Better standards and limits on commercialization are needed to ensure ecotourism truly achieves its goals.
Ecotourism is a form of tourism that promotes sustainable development by generating income and jobs while also protecting the environment and local communities. It benefits local economies through job creation in hospitality, transportation, and guiding services, while also raising environmental awareness and fostering cultural exchange. For ecotourism to be successful, it must involve local communities, adopt sustainable practices, and use tourism revenues to support conservation and community development projects. Examples of successful ecotourism destinations include Costa Rica, Bhutan, and the Galapagos Islands.

Done properly, ecotourism can contribute to sustainable development by improving living standards for local people through jobs and infrastructure while protecting environments for future generations.
Enhancing community involvement in tourism: an assessment of the interaction ...IOSR Journals
Community involvement and support for the conservation of natural resources is a prerequisite for the long term sustainability of protected areas. Benefits’ sharing has been appraised by many as an important management requirement since it can positively affect communities’ perceptions of protected areas. Using the qualitative methodology this study sought to assess the extent to which the community is involved in and is benefiting from tourism in Ngezi Recreational Park. The study elucidated that community involvement was very low. There were few benefits that were available from tourism in the park which however were not evenly distributed to all community members. Little understanding of what is meant by park tourism, lack of financial resources, absence of outdoor activity culture, failure to participate in recreation or income generating activities and exclusion from park tourism management contributed to unequal distribution of tourism benefits. The paper concludes that more still need to be done to boost the level of community involvement in park tourism and recommends that the park restock its game, aggressively market the park and the activities it offers, include the community in park tourism management, and put up a trust fund to evenly distribute tourism benefits amongst community members. The findings of this study help provide a stepping stone in assessing the level of community support for protected areas which is important for wildlife conservation and tourism. Without community support, cases of poaching, habitat encroachment and hostility towards tourists may be the end result which is detrimental to the tourism industry.
The document discusses the concepts of sustainable tourism and its importance. It addresses the three pillars of sustainability - environmental, economic, and socio-cultural aspects. Some key points made include that sustainability ensures the long-term viability of the tourism industry, balances the needs of hosts, guests, and the environment, and leads to benefits for local communities, businesses, and travelers. Both the opportunities and challenges of tourism for local communities are examined.
