This presentation was presented during the Joint Meeting of Steering and Scientific Commitee that took place at FAO headquarters 28-29 April 2015. The presentation was made by Prof. Stuart Harrop, University of Sussex
From 27-29 October 2014, WLE, in cooperation with the CGIAR Systemwide Program on Collective Action and Property Rights (CAPRI) and the CGIAR Research Program on Forests, Trees, and Agroforestry (FTA), held a workshop on Institutions for Ecosystems Services in Washington DC.
The goals of the workshop were to:
-Encourage sharing and discussion on research methods and tools to study the links between institutions and ecosystem services
-Synthesize lessons about institutional arrangements needed to ensure that ecosystem services projects are able to deliver benefits to local resource users and produce local, regional, and national global environmental benefits
-Identify policies and program interventions that can strengthen these institutions
-Outline priorities for future research, policy, and project implementation, particularly of relevance for PIM, WLE, and FTA programs
Biodiversity conservation has conventionally dealt with management aspects, but over the last decade the issue of governance, i.e. who decides and how, has gained prominence, resulting in crucial paradigm shifts in protected area and other conservation policies and practice.

UNDERSTANDING WHAT GREEN WASHING IS!.pdfJulietMogola
Many companies today use green washing to lure the public into thinking they are conserving the environment but in real sense they are doing more harm. There have been such several cases from very big companies here in Kenya and also globally. This ranges from various sectors from manufacturing and goes to consumer products. Educating people on greenwashing will enable people to make better choices based on their analysis and not on what they see on marketing sites.
Climate Change All over the World .pptxsairaanwer024
Climate change refers to significant and lasting changes in the average weather patterns over periods ranging from decades to millions of years. It encompasses both global warming driven by human emissions of greenhouse gases and the resulting large-scale shifts in weather patterns. While climate change is a natural phenomenon, human activities, particularly since the Industrial Revolution, have accelerated its pace and intensity

"Understanding the Carbon Cycle: Processes, Human Impacts, and Strategies for...MMariSelvam4
The carbon cycle is a critical component of Earth's environmental system, governing the movement and transformation of carbon through various reservoirs, including the atmosphere, oceans, soil, and living organisms. This complex cycle involves several key processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, and carbon sequestration, each contributing to the regulation of carbon levels on the planet.
Human activities, particularly fossil fuel combustion and deforestation, have significantly altered the natural carbon cycle, leading to increased atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and driving climate change. Understanding the intricacies of the carbon cycle is essential for assessing the impacts of these changes and developing effective mitigation strategies.
By studying the carbon cycle, scientists can identify carbon sources and sinks, measure carbon fluxes, and predict future trends. This knowledge is crucial for crafting policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions, enhancing carbon storage, and promoting sustainable practices. The carbon cycle's interplay with climate systems, ecosystems, and human activities underscores its importance in maintaining a stable and healthy planet.
In-depth exploration of the carbon cycle reveals the delicate balance required to sustain life and the urgent need to address anthropogenic influences. Through research, education, and policy, we can work towards restoring equilibrium in the carbon cycle and ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.

Characterization and the Kinetics of drying at the drying oven and with micro...Open Access Research Paper
The objective of this work is to contribute to valorization de Nephelium lappaceum by the characterization of kinetics of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum. The seeds were dehydrated until a constant mass respectively in a drying oven and a microwawe oven. The temperatures and the powers of drying are respectively: 50, 60 and 70°C and 140, 280 and 420 W. The results show that the curves of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum do not present a phase of constant kinetics. The coefficients of diffusion vary between 2.09.10-8 to 2.98. 10-8m-2/s in the interval of 50°C at 70°C and between 4.83×10-07 at 9.04×10-07 m-8/s for the powers going of 140 W with 420 W the relation between Arrhenius and a value of energy of activation of 16.49 kJ. mol-1 expressed the effect of the temperature on effective diffusivity.
4. Broad priorities to improve PA
management includes developing a
national PA system plan and an
appropriate legal framework for its
management.
Establish a PA System for conservation
and designate measures for
maintaining ecosystem protection,
especially for large forest expanses and
wetlands.
Undertake a national protected area
systems plan.
Prepare a comprehensive PA law.
Introduce a user pays approach to
maintaining PA services and products.
2003
5. Thailand should formulate and
adopt a statement of the vision for
the PA system.
Examine the potential of the full
range of PA governance types to
contribute to the conservation estate
in Thailand and how these might be
implemented.
DNP, through a participatory
process, should formulate national
policies to guide PA activities.
Develop a background paper and
hold a national workshop on
whether PA Categories should form
the basis for a new typology of PAs
in Thailand.
2012
6. Puts people at the center of development
Focus on participation of local people in natural resource mgmt,
including for climate change
Conserve & create security for natural resources & environment by
safeguarding & restoring forests and conservation areas
Supports >19% of land for conservation, integrated watershed
mgmt, research on resource mgmt, marine conservation, databases,
innovative fund-raising from biodiversity
7. So why have a System Plan?
Covering over 20% of the land and significant parts
of the sea, Thailand’s PAs must be managed well.
This requires making the individual sites part of the
social, economic, and environment context of the
country.
Demonstrate the major contributions PAs make to the
culture and economy of Thailand.
Provide a framework for appropriate objectives for each
PA so that the system as a whole meets national
objectives.
8. More reasons for a System Plan
Suggest additional areas to ensure all biodiversity is included
in the System.
Provide a clear framework for appropriate objectives for each
PA so the system as a whole meets national objectives, link
PAs to each other & thereby increase their effective size,
identify contributions of research and monitoring, & show
how PAs contribute to national climate change efforts.
Establish policy framework so Management Plan of each site
meets the site requirements while also supporting national
policies on tourism, financing, research, road design, etc.
Provide the basis for an enhanced communications and
outreach program.
9. And most important
Capitalize on the full range of management options
and models offered by the system of categories
prepared by the World Commission on Protected
Areas (which has 14 members in Thailand).
This will facilitate systematic conservation
planning, through presenting a more nuanced
picture of protected areas rather than assuming they
are all under identical management.
11. Chapter 1. Fundamental principles so
everyone understands the approach
Define the basic terms and concepts, such as
“protected area”, “biological diversity”,
“ecosystem”, “ecosystem services” “payments of
ecosystem services”, “species”, “genetic diversity”,
“biotechnology”.
Describe the current legal basis, both domestic and
international (such as the Program of Work on PAs
of the Convention on Biological Diversity), and the
organizational structure of PAs within government.
State the guiding principles for the System Plan.
12. Chapter 2. Then build on agreed
vision & objectives for the System Plan
Today, we are seeking your
input to a vision and strategic
objectives for the system plan.
13. Chapter 3. We next need to identify the
major challenges faced by PA managers
14. Water-related services:
Provision of fresh water
for drinking, agriculture,
electricity generating, etc.
Regulation of floods and
extreme weather events
Purification of wastes
Delivery of nutrient-rich
sediments to flood plains
These are worth US$7 trillion
per year
Chapter 4.
Then describe
the
multiple
benefits
PAs provide
15. Chapter 5. The System
Plan then uses landscapes
and seascapes to link PAs
to each other and to
adjacent land uses.
This approach is already
being taken in some parts
of the system, and
provides the basis for
working with other land
users, perhaps drawing on
the Town and Country
Planning Act.
16.
17. Chapter 6. Completing the system. A
critical section of the System Plan
considers potential additional sites to
link PAs in the landscape and consider
new sites that would conserve
biodiversity and deliver ecosystem
services. This requires an Expert Panel
to prepare detailed advice on this topic.
22. Advantages of a Categories
System
Facilitates systematic conservation planning by showing that
different kinds of sites have different management objectives.
Facilitates determination of priorities, application of
innovative financing, and communications and outreach.
Provides a way to address the call for greater involvement of
local communities.
Brings Thailand into conformity with the CBD call for “a
single international classification system for PAs” and “to
assign PA management categories.. For “providing
information consistent with the refined IUCN categories for
reporting purposes.”

25. What is “Governance”?
Governance is “the interactions among
structures, processes, and traditions that
determine how power and responsibilities are
exercised, how decisions are taken and how
citizens or other stakeholders have their say.”
The PA management categories are applied with
a typology of governance types: a description of
who holds authority and responsibility for the
protected area.
26. 4 broad types of
governance:
1. Government
2. Shared governance
or co-management
3. Private governance
4. Governance by local
communities
27. Type 1. Governance by
Government
In most countries, central government is responsible for
nationally important protected areas, with protected areas of
regional or local interest managed by provincial or local
authorities.
In Thailand, DNP is organized with regional offices,
decentralization of management has been discussed and
considered. Some provinces are providing budgetary support
to protected areas within the province.
Managing PAs at the provincial level could build local support
and provide budgetary support.
Protected areas clusters may spread across two or more
provinces, requiring at least support and coordination from the
government of each province in the cluster.
28. But perhaps a “national park” such as Nam Tok
Sam Lan in Saraburi could be managed more
effectively at the provincial level, as Category III.
29. Type 2: Shared Governance
The National Parks Act and the Wildlife Preservation Act provide for
representatives of civil society on national-level committees, and site-
level Protected Areas Committees have been established. These
committees are advisory and have only a modest influence on
governance.
DNP’s Pilot Protected Areas Project tested joint management in six
national parks (Thaleban, Laem Son, Chalerm Rattanakosin, Phu
Phaman, Ob Luang and Doi Phu Ka) about a decade ago.
PA categories IV, V, and VI lend themselves to greater co-
management, with local communities gaining greater involvement in
governance in collaboration with DNP.
Co-management should proceed in a step-by-step manner, beginning
with a few demonstration sites or learning from sites where co-
management is already effective.
30. ”Joint Management of Protected Areas”
project (2005-) in Huay Kha Khaeng
developed new relations with the
surrounding communities, NGOs, and
various government agencies and is now
being applied more widely.
31. Type 3. Private Governance
Thailand has few large private land holdings that would
qualify as a protected area, though private ownership of some
sites that might qualify as Category III Natural Monuments
could be possible.
Perhaps some universities, non-governmental conservation
organizations, or socially-responsible corporations could obtain
control over relatively large areas of land and water that are
important for conservation and could qualify as protected areas
as defined in the System Plan.
It probably is sufficient to wait until the possibility is closer to
reality before developing a response, but it is worth at least
starting to consider the implications for conservation of such
governance.
34. Type 4: Governance by
Local Communities
In some parts of the world, such as India, “community
conserved areas” have been established, and some
community forests and buffer zones in Thailand are managed
by local communities.
This type of governance is foreseen in the 2007 Constitution
and the 2012-2016 NESDP.
It may be possible, on a trial basis, for local communities to
be given governance responsibility for some portions or
zones of Category IV, V, or VI protected areas.
35. Each community (n=10) has demarcated conservation forest,
utilization forest, and agricultural lands, with accompanying
rules and regulations
Have formed community watershed network to coordinate
natural resource management throughout the watershed.
Research showed on a per household basis, net benefits from
PA conservation increased significantly with community
participation in PA mgmt (more than Ob Luang NP &DI NP)
Mae Khong Kha, a community-
managed watershed
36.
37. Conflict with illegal settlers in protected
areasis an eternal problem in Thailand, with
as many as 600,000 people living within the
protected areas. Type 4 governance, combined
with a new approach to categories IV, V, or VI
and innovative application of zoning, may
offer some innovative ways to deal with this
challenge.
38. Chapter 8. Based on the material covered,
the System Plan then considers how to
generate additional funding.
• This needs appropriate legislation,
regulations, oversight, and incentives.
• Payment for the ecosystem services related to
water provided by PAs.
• Payment for carbon storage and climate
change adaption.
• Support from the private sector and the
general public.
39.
40. Chapter 9. Building a Broader Base of
Support for Protected Areas
• PAs already draw over 10 million visitors per
year, but how to convert these into active
supporters?
• A Communications Strategy is proposed,
drawing especially on social media such as
Facebook (18 million users in Thailand and
improving relevant websites).
• Building a broader base of supporters is also
proposed, with details on how to accomplish.
41.
42.
43. The success of the System Plan
depends on clear policy guidance:
Chapter 10.
Builds on the high-level policy directions provided
by the Constitution, the NESDP, and relevant
legislation.
A systematic compilation of existing policies.
Revisions of policies where required.
New policies, prepared through consultation with
affected stakeholders, on topics like research,
tourism, cultural values, and sustainable use.
44. Chapter 11. Building the capacity to
implement the System Plan
Building capacity needs incentives,
reinforcement, and application.
Innovative approaches to PA management
require the staff trained to implement modern
ways PAs are being managed.
PA management needs to be a career, with
regular training courses and clear ways of
advancing within DNP.
Build on the traditional knowledge of forest-
dwelling people and fishing communities.
45. The proposed System plan will help ensure that
waters continue to flow, wildlife flourishes, and
the Kingdom’s natural heritage is conserved.
47. Q. 1. Is the content and
structure appropriate?
Is the content appropriate?
Is anything important being
left out?
48. Q. 2. What about vision
and strategic objectives?
How can the Vision be agreed at the
highest level?
Is the following list of Strategic
Objectives complete and appropriate?
Should some be added (or deleted)?
How can the vision and strategic
objectives be agreed at the highest
appropriate level?
49. Here are some options for Strategic
Objectives

other sectors beyond the PA;
Enhance the range of funding options for PAs;
Design PA system as part of national climate change
objectives;
Allocate PAs to categories based on objectives of mgmt;
Use PAs to support research for conservation and economic
development.
Ensure that all biodiversity is included within the PA system
Provide an information and outreach program that will
enhance PAs as part of national identity (along with tourism
benefits)

deserve the greatest attention?
Biodiversity
Water
Tourism
Benefits to local people Natural
Resources)
Others?

Agriculture
Army camps/Navy bases
Dams
Forest/Fishery
Urban
Others?
57. Lessons learned from Ob Luang National Park :
• villagers have long experience in natural
resource management, including conflict
management & conservation;
• meeting the needs of communities, such as
joint designation of boundaries & zones, is
essential;
• building trust through open communication &
joint learning is an important part of the
process; &
• the willingness of the National Park officers to
support the project was a key success factor.
58.
59. Q. 6. How can any gaps in the system
be filled?
Agricultural systems
Army camps/Navy bases
Category 1 Watersheds
Biosphere Reserves
Important Bird Areas
Others?
And what is the most effective process for
filling the gaps?
60. Inland wetlands provide monetary
values of $981-44,597 per hectare
per year. More need to be added
to the PA system.
61.
