New York, 18 June, 2015 — The UNDP Equator Initiative hosted a Brown Bag Lunch to discuss how community-based climate solutions are achieved and what they can teach us about engaging communities to address climate change.
The talk featured Gregory Mock, former Editor in-Chief of the World Resources Report series, and was moderated by Nick Remple, Global Advisor for Community Based Landscape Management at BPPS and Director of the Community Development and Knowledge Management for the Satoyama Initiative (COMDEKS).
Mr. Mock, who has written extensively on local environmental governance and community-based efforts to sustainably manage local ecosystems, drew parallels between the findings of the Equator Initiative and the COMDEKS program:
“Forest communities can be a potent source of local climate solutions when they are empowered with resource rights and access to support networks,” said Mr. Mock. “Experience from the Equator Initiative and COMDEKS shows that community-based management of local forests can cut deforestation rates and reverse forest degradation."
In 2012, Mr. Mock collaborated with the Equator Initiative to survey 10 years of Equator Prize experience and extract lessons on the enabling conditions for successful local action. In 2014, he worked with the COMDEKS Programme to document its community-based approach to managing rural landscapes in 10 pilot countries.”

The study reviewed Land use practices in Gedeo Zone Dilla Zuria woreda to assess its role and achievements in ensuring good food security since 2014 in which the people of Gedeo were being practice on. The objectives were to (1) identify the land Use practice that have been used over time; (2) identify the problem of current land Use practice in the area (3) identify the challenges of the practice in the soil; (4) determine the extent of use of land use practice from historical approaches in maintaining good service and (5) make recommendations for further improvement of land use practice. Primary sources, Published and unpublished secondary sources revealed that several agricultural approach were being undertaken in order to make clear land use practice of the area. One of the basic approaches undertaken today was Agroforestry practice, which culturally tied with Nation of Gedeo. Land use practice dealt with challenges of previous and current approaches of land use practice. Aspects of challenges to effective Land use practice in area were administrative or management, farmer awareness, and in general, attitudinal change of farmers in the area. Natural resource management such as integrated watershed management, soil and water conservation practice, consequence of improper land use practice are discussed and recommended for further improvement of land use practice in the study area.

The Dynamics of Forests, Livelihoods and Poverty Alleviation Relationships – ...IFPRIMaSSP
Forests play very critical roles in Malawi. Over 90% of the country’s energy requirements are fuelwood-based. However, Malawi, like most Sub-Saharan African countries, presents a case of policy dilemma in sustainable forest management. With its growing population and the resultant contraction of per capita land area, coupled with the ever increasing fuelwood demand, the challenge is to sustainably manage the forests without alienating the majority of rural communities whose livelihoods heavily depend on the forests. There is therefore need to fully understand the forest-reliant people if the goal of sustainable forest management is to be achieved. The aim of this desk study is to characterize the forest-livelihoods-poverty alleviation links and their impact on households’ choice of livelihood strategies. By synthesizing relevant theoretical and empirical literature, the study demonstrates that the links between poverty and forests are complex. For example, while there is evidence that it is the poor that rely more on forests, the reverse causality, though rare in literature, is also possible, i.e. forest reliance can act as a poverty trap. Understanding the livelihood status of forest-reliant households is therefore a necessary condition to sustainably manage the forests in particular and other environmental resources in general.
Agroforestry has a high potential for simultaneously satisfying three important objectives viz., protecting and also stabilizing the ecosystems; producing a high level of output of economic goods; and improving the income and basic materials to the rural population. It has helped in the rehabilitation of the degraded lands on the one hand and has increased farm productivity on the other. At present, agroforestry meets almost half of the demand for fuelwood, 2/3 of the small timber, approx. 70-80 per cent wood for plywood, 60 per cent raw material for paper pulp and approx. 9-11 per cent of the green fodder requirement of livestock, besides meeting the subsistence needs of the households for food, fruit, fiber, medicine etc.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

1.INTRODUCTION
• Participatory forestry refers to and mechanisms that
enable those people who have a direct stake in forest
resources.
• Participatory forest Manegment (PFM) is mechanisms to
protect forests resources from forest degradation and
deforestation .
• It mproving sustainable livelihoods of community the
users and gaining of benefits from them in the processes.
3. Cont...
• Today PFM is formally written in forest proclamation of
Ethiopia’s federal government and several regional
states.
Participatory forest management is the overall rural
development strategy, intended to improve
rural livelihoods and thereby help reduce poverty,
protect the environment and promote equitable
distribution of benefits.
improving forest management and participation of
society.
effective management to contribution of resources .
Thus all communitys are acceptable because it essential
activities.
4. 1.2 Problem Statement of study
• In Ethiopia there is not sustainable forest management
programs has been put in place due to lack of enough
adequate funding for community.
• many researchers are indicate this proplems at different areas,
but I used at jello muctar ferest because:
• The population of this area are highly affect the forest by
charcoal production and firewood.
ferest decreasing the coverage area through by
human lack of awareness
settlement
grazing
agricultural farming like chat production so deforestation is
mainly takes place.
5. 1.3 Objectives of study
1.3.1 General objectives
• The overall objective of the study was to examine the
Contribution of the participatory forest management for
sustainable livelihood in the case of ,west Hararghe zone
,in jello forest.
• 1.3.2 Specific objectives
• To identify the Contributions of participatory forest
management for socio-economic and sustainable
livelihood of local community.
• To asses the benefits of participatory forest
management in environmental sustainability.
• To asses awareness of community for participatory
forest management.
6. 1.4 Research question
• What is the role of PFM for local community
sustainably?
• What are the role of participatory forest management
in socio-economic in the case of rural area?
• How participatory forest management used for
sustainably livelihood for society?
7. 1.5 Limitation of study
• The major constraints face in conducting this research paper was the
shortage of time and money during data collection. In addition to this,
there is also difficult to observe the study area.
• 1.6 Significance of study area
• In this area of jello forest is the huge and covered by highly covered by
natural forest but deforestation is increasing at a time.
• In this forest management is stakeholder is not crucial but participation
of community is maintained is important to reduce deforestation but
not remove and improve sustainable utilization of resource with out
affecting the next generation or return.
• In additionally the forest coverage of this area are reduced through
time to time by settlement, grazing and agricultural land.
• So sustainable livelihood of community is essential or particular for
improve forest generation is for the next return.
8. 3,METHODOLOGY
3.1,Description of the study areas
The study was conduct on Jello Forest which is situated
in Jello-Muktar State Forest Priority Area at about 326 kms
southeast of Addis Ababa.
The geographical location of the study area is found at
9.03 North of latitude and longitude of 40.88 Eset with
the elevation between 2156 meter above sea level _The
forest shares boundaries in North and East with Chiro
district
in the South-east with Gemechis district and in the west
with Oda Bultum district.
9. 3.2,Climate
• Jello forest area is found at an altitude ranging between
2000 and 3074masl.
• It has a subtropical climate condition with mean
annual temperature of 15°C and mean rainfall of
1220mm.
• The length of growing period ranges from 210-270
days.
• The rain fall pattern is bimodal, with the short rainy
season from February to March and the main rainy
season from March to July.
10. 3.3,Soil characteristic s of the area
The soil of the study area is mainly made up of loam soil that
consist the varying proportion of clay, silt, and sand.formation
that resulted from the formation of two main soil types.On
the flat plateau and wide valley bottom, there are heavy clay
soils-which is black cotton soil and on the slopes reddish
brown loam which are comb soils .
3.4 Vegetation character
The forest in the study is mainly characterised by dry
afromountain forest.
covering an area of around 1710 ha.
Some of the characteristic tree and shrub species include:
Podocarpusfalcatus, Juniperus excels, Vernonia spp., Rosa
abyssinica, Bersema abyssinica, Dodonaeaaugostifolia,
Haginia abyssinica and others.
11. 3.5,Population
The central statistical authority in its annual
statistical abstract of 2022.
chiro has the total population around 69793,
whereas 3724 are males and 32589 are females.
Land holding population of 11829 kilo meter squer
(Chiro town administration office).
3.6,Data collection techniques
3.6.1primary data collection
Data were collected both Primary and Secondary
form. survey, interviews, questionnaires were used to
collect primary data from households
12. Cont...
• At household level, the necessary data relate to background
information, household characteristics (sex, age, educational
status…etc.), local knowledge on management and utilization
of jello forest and its management, (conservation activities,
biodiversity…etc.) Werecollected using structured
questionnaire through interviewing the household heads.
• 3.6.2,Secondary data collection
• Secondary data were collected from different raw materials
both published and un published sources. such as
• book,
• searching through different media,
• internet and other writen documents.
13. Cont...
• 3.6.3,Sampling techniques and sampling sizes
For the purpose of this study, two-stage sampling techniques
were employed to select the respondents. In the first stage
purposive selection of the kebele out of total were done by
considering or understanding of the distance, the second reason is
since there is mainly shortage of time and budget
it is difficult to conduct research in other far places.
In the second stage simple random sampling will be used to select
the sample household for household.
These techniques are employed with the assumption of that it
avoids bias and it creates an opportunity to the all people in the
population equal chance of being selected. The sample sizes for
this study were determined by using formula, which is as follow
14. Cont...
n = N/1+N (e) 2
Where n= sample size
N= total household (1775)
℮ = is the level of precision with the 10% of sampling
intensity
n =1775/1+1775*(0.01) ^2=1775/18.75=95
Finally, the determined sample size (n) = (95) would be
taken by using simple random sampling method. But due
to shortage of time and money, 95 households were
used.A total of 95 sample households are selected
through simple random sampling technique. This
technique is selected because of all target population
have equal probability to be selected.
15. 3.7,Data analysis methods
The qualitative and quantitative data collecte was
organized and summarized using descriptive statistics
such as, table, and graphs.
The qualitative data that was collected through key
informant interview/FGDs and physical observation was
narrated and summarized.
The quantitative data that was obtained through formal
survey was analyz in excel version 10.

from the forest through supplying of forest products such
as timber products and non-timber products (charcoal,
honey, spices, construction materials, and etc.).
18. Cont..
4.2, The benefits of participatory forest management for
community
• area of forest can be protecting and preserving through
cultures of the societies and more advantages for
community through creating employment.

• finally sustain food security rural people (community).
20. .4 The positive effects of participatory forest
management for environment
• PFM have a major role in environmental sustainability
through protection of forest by decreasing of carbon from
atmosphere.
• 4.5 The major challenges of the Participatory Forest
Management .
• The major challenges to participatory forest management
by the suffering of resource by
• lack of resources
• weak governance
• lack of readiness of institutional structure and lack of
supportive structures.
21. 5 Conclusions and recommendations
5.1 Conclusions
Depending on the finding of the study, it
could be inferred that, local communities
have a positive attitude towards the
participatory forest management system.
They accepted PFM was able to enhance local
people’s level of participation as it promotes
equal participation for both female and male
in fores.
22. Cont..
• Generally it could be concluded that PFM in Jello forest
is effective in terms of creating favourable attitude
towards forest conservation and stimulating a
perception that PFM has positive awareness to
sustainable livelihood effects on the creating healthy
environment at this area .
•
23. 5.2 Recommendations
• Participatory forest management is very important for
sustainable livelihoods, So The government should work
jointly with the local farmers to protect thier environment
and wisely use of forest products Sustainably.
• Different organization should be helping their management
and conservation their environmental condition.
• Government and different nongovernment organization will
have to appreciation their management system and improve
their capacity of local community.
• The income of local community is very low at a time but
government will achieve their levels, however if the
population increasing from time to time the forest may be
affected.
24. Cont..
•
• In the area of forest there is increase the deforestation
and decrease sustain their forest resource utilization from
time to time. So different organization can enhance their
management system.
•
• The govermentes should develop good framework
institution to support Participatory forest management.
•
• The govermentes will be awareness or inform the
community about the contribution of participatory
forest management for Sustainable livelihood.
