Editor's Notes
- Problems to address through LUP/landscape approach- insecure land tenure and concessions, unclear village boundaries making management domains unclear, upstream/downstream and shared resources (forests, etc.) not addressed only at village level, deforestation and shifting cultivation at cross-purposes with national forest cover targets, need for a basis for sustainable development at the village level linked to wider development efforts (at the landscape scale).
- The “solution”– landscape-scale planning. Kumban level boundary demarcation as first step, then the village-level process (four images), and rigorous data collection and consultation with communities to understand their uses of local resources, management planning. Also, early identification of possible products and resources around which to build development interventions (SPAs)
- Boundaries are agreed as a basis for planning and management, rectifying inter-village conflict. Landscape-level planning for addressing upstream-downstream management of shared catchments and water resources (upper box), effectiveness in management planning for transboundary forest resources (lower box).
- On shifting cultivation and forest cover- comparison of current land use and future plans, example of 36% increase in area set aside for forest (left two images). Cooperative planning for co-location of shifting cultivation rotations on an annual basis, allowing for longer fallow periods and the conservation of forest values by reducing fragmentation at the landscape scale
- Community development through SPAs, using the LUPs as a basis for development by identifying resources on which to build these interventions, leveraging the development potential of local resources while incentivizing the conservation of agrobiodiversity. On this slide, also discuss weaknesses in our application of the Landscape approach: Not yet clear the impact of LUP on land tenure, though this is being explored, agricultural officials convinced of the approach but the forestry officials are not yet, SPA activities not always strategically-linked to LUPs, different teams and government partners doing different tasks and responsive to requests and market development opportunities and these are not always in the same places.
