The document discusses why projects go wrong and how to make them successful. It defines project management as the application of knowledge, skills, tools, and techniques to project activities in order to meet stakeholder needs and expectations. Good project management is reflected in skills like communication, organizational planning, team building, leadership, and coping with challenges. To make a project successful, a project manager should manage the triple constraints of scope, time and cost, leverage ITIL best practices, and monitor for early signs a project may be failing such as lack of planning or risk management.

Case study: Custlaw based landforest conflict resolutions in Long Lan village...SPERI
Land conflicts take place in many places due to land loss faced by people, especially farmers with various forms of pressures. Such programs as modernization, industrialization and urbanization tend to transfer fertile agricultural land attaching high profitability and commercial possibility to other purposes. The needs for more land for modern, large-scale food production are encouraged by technocrats as the way to meet growing consumer demand. Under pressure of attracting resources for industrialization from political power and monetary power, many farmers in developing countries are forced to move from their ancestor land and lose the land to the hands of investors and transnational companies. Shortage of land to live, lack of transparency, and overlapping of ownership of land, forests and natural resources or land use rights are among the hottest constrains causing conflicts over land.
Social forestry aims to help environmental, social, and rural development through managing and protecting forests, and planting trees in deforested and barren lands.

The conclusion states that social forestry plays an important role in forest production, poverty alleviation, and development in the region through community participation.
This document provides an overview of the Mgori Forest community-based natural resource management program in Singida District, Tanzania. It describes the biophysical characteristics of the Mgori Forest and the establishment of the community management program in 1995 with support from external donors and consultants. The program has been largely successful, with forest regeneration occurring and returns of wildlife. However, some ongoing issues include lack of formal approval of village bylaws, boundary disputes with neighboring districts, and lack of resources for forest patrols and protection activities. Effective governance, addressing economic needs, and sustainable biophysical management are keys to the long-term success of the program.
Barangay Lelemaan was originally a swampy area blessed with fish that were the main livelihood for early residents. They invented a method of catching fish called "lema" using bundled branches, giving the barangay its name. Residents then took up farming crops. The barangay grew under elected leaders starting in the 1930s. In 2002, Estrellita Finuliar became the first female barangay head and oversaw improvements like a new barangay hall. Under her leadership, Lelemaan won awards including "Most Outstanding Barangay" in 2013. Richard Mendoza is the current barangay head.
Forest degrade actors analysis case of Vietnam PVDungDung Pham Van
This document summarizes the causes and results of forest degradation in Vietnam by analyzing different actors and their interests. It discusses Vietnam's history of forestland management from independence to recent reforms. A case study of Que Phong district shows how forestland has shifted from traditional ownership to state control and more recently to households and communities through land allocation policies. However, problems remain from the large areas still managed by state actors and a lack of formal recognition of community forest rights. The document recommends greater participation of local communities in forest management and a focus on local livelihoods over commercial interests.

Sung village in Hoa Binh Province has traditionally managed 367 hectares of protection forest for over 500 years. The village divides the forest area among 44 households and manages exploitation according to customary rules. A new co-management model between the village, the forest management board, and local government aims to strengthen customary tenure rights and improve livelihoods through developing a Shan tea value chain. Expected results include enhancing people's rights and roles in forest governance, improving capacity in forest and tea management, and increasing community incomes and responsibility over the forest area. The model has potential to be scaled up across other communes given support from relevant laws and policies and the forest management board's plans.

Socieconomic aspects of village reforestation program Tharindu Dilshan
This document summarizes a case study of the Village Reforestation Program (VRP) in Embilipitiya Range, Sri Lanka. The VRP involves farmers planting trees on leased state land for 4 years. It has successfully reforested over 30 hectares since 2001. Farmers grow cash crops between trees and are paid incentives. The case study found farmers' incomes increased and they benefited from social cooperation. However, younger generations lack participation. Forest officers built strong community bonds but faced challenges with wildlife damage and delayed payments. Overall, farmers and officers were satisfied with the VRP approach to community forestry.

Accommodating the Interest of Local Community in Resolving ConflictsRidho Taqwa
This document discusses a case study of conflicts between a local community and the government over the development of a wildlife area in Bentayan, South Sumatra, Indonesia. The establishment of the wildlife area restricted the community's access to natural resources they had traditionally used. Several conflict resolution attempts were made but failed to satisfy both parties. The study proposes a new conflict resolution model developed through dialogue between stakeholders to better accommodate the interests of the community and government through the Natural Resources Conservation Center. This model aims to provide a framework for managing forests and wildlife areas that considers the needs of local societies.

Project on Insights Gained from Industrial VisitsShivam Shukla
The document provides details about visits made by a student to various organizations as part of a college project. It summarizes insights gained from visits to Ralegan Siddhi village, Baramati textile park, and a construction company. The village of Ralegan Siddhi has transformed from being drought-prone to water abundant through watershed management projects led by social activist Anna Hazare. The student observed various conservation efforts including check dams, plantations, and banning tree felling and free grazing. The visit to Baramati textile park provided information on India's textile industry and the park's aim to help the industry adopt modern technologies.
The Appiko movement was a grassroots environmental movement started in 1983 in response to deforestation in southern India. Inspired by the Chipko movement, villagers in Karnataka began "hugging trees" to prevent logging. The movement aimed to conserve the remaining forests, restore degraded areas, and promote sustainable use of forest resources. Through community organizing, demonstrations, and afforestation efforts, Appiko helped raise awareness of environmental issues and influence government policy. However, the movement now faces new challenges from forces of globalization and development that prioritize economic growth over ecological conservation.
The document discusses several case studies of villages in remote, drought-prone areas of southern India where NGOs have facilitated various interventions to improve agriculture and livelihoods. In one village, self-help groups were formed which federated at the mandal level and engaged in collective procurement, processing, and marketing of crops. In another village, degraded soils were restored through integrated organic farming approaches including construction of bunds and application of compost. Water bodies were also renovated through watershed programs, increasing surface and groundwater.

This Good Practice Note illustrates the practice of local institutional development and its role in pro-poor livestock development in the context of village Jhabla in Udaipur district of Rajasthan in the western part of India.
The work initiated by Seva Mandir in late 1980s has borne fruit as after two decades it demonstrates its robustness in gripping local community dynamics and assisting in providing better opportunities for livestock rearing. It highlights the need to reconsider inclusion of communities in governing their natural resources especially the forests and open pasture lands, which is a step in the right direction.

Optimizing Post Remediation Groundwater Performance with Enhanced Microbiolog...Joshua Orris
Results of geophysics and pneumatic injection pilot tests during 2003 – 2007 yielded significant positive results for injection delivery design and contaminant mass treatment, resulting in permanent shut-down of an existing groundwater Pump & Treat system.
Accessible source areas were subsequently removed (2011) by soil excavation and treated with the placement of Emulsified Vegetable Oil EVO and zero-valent iron ZVI to accelerate treatment of impacted groundwater in overburden and weathered fractured bedrock. Post pilot test and post remediation groundwater monitoring has included analyses of CVOCs, organic fatty acids, dissolved gases and QuantArray® -Chlor to quantify key microorganisms (e.g., Dehalococcoides, Dehalobacter, etc.) and functional genes (e.g., vinyl chloride reductase, methane monooxygenase, etc.) to assess potential for reductive dechlorination and aerobic cometabolism of CVOCs.
In 2022, the first commercial application of MetaArray™ was performed at the site. MetaArray™ utilizes statistical analysis, such as principal component analysis and multivariate analysis to provide evidence that reductive dechlorination is active or even that it is slowing. This creates actionable data allowing users to save money by making important site management decisions earlier.
The results of the MetaArray™ analysis’ support vector machine (SVM) identified groundwater monitoring wells with a 80% confidence that were characterized as either Limited for Reductive Decholorination or had a High Reductive Reduction Dechlorination potential. The results of MetaArray™ will be used to further optimize the site’s post remediation monitoring program for monitored natural attenuation.
Improving the viability of probiotics by encapsulation methods for developmen...Open Access Research Paper
The popularity of functional foods among scientists and common people has been increasing day by day. Awareness and modernization make the consumer think better regarding food and nutrition. Now a day’s individual knows very well about the relation between food consumption and disease prevalence. Humans have a diversity of microbes in the gut that together form the gut microflora. Probiotics are the health-promoting live microbial cells improve host health through gut and brain connection and fighting against harmful bacteria. Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus are the two bacterial genera which are considered to be probiotic. These good bacteria are facing challenges of viability. There are so many factors such as sensitivity to heat, pH, acidity, osmotic effect, mechanical shear, chemical components, freezing and storage time as well which affects the viability of probiotics in the dairy food matrix as well as in the gut. Multiple efforts have been done in the past and ongoing in present for these beneficial microbial population stability until their destination in the gut. One of a useful technique known as microencapsulation makes the probiotic effective in the diversified conditions and maintain these microbe’s community to the optimum level for achieving targeted benefits. Dairy products are found to be an ideal vehicle for probiotic incorporation. It has been seen that the encapsulated microbial cells show higher viability than the free cells in different processing and storage conditions as well as against bile salts in the gut. They make the food functional when incorporated, without affecting the product sensory characteristics.

Currently, an approved pilot study has been obtained to shut-down the remediation systems (ISCO, P&T) and conduct a hydraulic study under non-pumping conditions. A separate micro-biological bench scale treatability study was competed that yielded positive results for an emerging innovative technology. As a result, a field pilot study has commenced with results expected in nine-twelve months. With the results of the hydraulic study, field pilot studies and an updated risk assessment leading site monitoring optimization cost lifecycle savings upwards of $15MM towards an alternatively evolved best available technology remediation closure strategy.
Kinetic studies on malachite green dye adsorption from aqueous solutions by A...Open Access Research Paper
Water polluted by dyestuffs compounds is a global threat to health and the environment; accordingly, we prepared a green novel sorbent chemical and Physical system from an algae, chitosan and chitosan nanoparticle and impregnated with algae with chitosan nanocomposite for the sorption of Malachite green dye from water. The algae with chitosan nanocomposite by a simple method and used as a recyclable and effective adsorbent for the removal of malachite green dye from aqueous solutions. Algae, chitosan, chitosan nanoparticle and algae with chitosan nanocomposite were characterized using different physicochemical methods. The functional groups and chemical compounds found in algae, chitosan, chitosan algae, chitosan nanoparticle, and chitosan nanoparticle with algae were identified using FTIR, SEM, and TGADTA/DTG techniques. The optimal adsorption conditions, different dosages, pH and Temperature the amount of algae with chitosan nanocomposite were determined. At optimized conditions and the batch equilibrium studies more than 99% of the dye was removed. The adsorption process data matched well kinetics showed that the reaction order for dye varied with pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order. Furthermore, the maximum adsorption capacity of the algae with chitosan nanocomposite toward malachite green dye reached as high as 15.5mg/g, respectively. Finally, multiple times reusing of algae with chitosan nanocomposite and removing dye from a real wastewater has made it a promising and attractive option for further practical applications.
2. The mountain forests of Phin Ngan after a storm.
LISO moved here at the request of Lao Cai province after SPERI’s successful
land allocation programme with the Mong people of Simacai district
3. Stepped rice paddy and forest in Sung Hoang, Phin Ngan.
Most villagers don’t have official land use rights, cultivating on land
managed by protected forest management boards
4. LISO first step when coming to a community is to invite everyone to meet.
Here we ask villagers in Sung Hoang to discuss issues and problems they
are facing
5. Without villagers participation and agreement, land allocation cannot work.
Sung Hoang villagers ask LISO to facilitate an allocation process for household
and community rights.
6. LISO trains communities to understand and map the land use in their
commune.With their help villagers draw a cross sectional land use map of
Sai Duan and Sung Duan
7. Participation and consultation is the key to conflict resolution – LISO’s
methods rely heavily on community involvement in every step of the forest
land allocation process
8. Sai Duan villagers explain the rules and management of sacred forest
Research is essential to understand sacred forest worship and how it and other
management methods help ethnic minority communities protect their forests
9. Most important in the minds of ethnic minority people is the preservation of
sacred forest. Community members complete a map of the sacred forest of
Sai Duan village with accompanying management regulations
10. Natural forest products are very important for Red Dzao women. Mrs. Chan, a
member of the women’s union and village elder is actively involved in the
allocation process. Here she prepares forest vines for embroidery.
11. Forest land conflicts are commonly a result of unclear and overlapping
boundaries of current land use
As a first step in the forest land allocation process, villagers map the commune
12. The next step is mapping current land use in each village.
This community designed land use map of Sung Hoang village shows
locations of sacred forest and other land uses and ownership
13. As well as working closely with farmers, LISO has good relationships with local
authorities who have the power to allocate land. Here we are sharing information
in Bat Xat district office on the land and forest situation in Phin Ngan
14. Finally, at a ceremony in the forest, village representatives receive ‘red books’,
official land use rights over communal managed forest
15. After allocation come management, improving the quality of the forest and
deriving improved incomes. Dzao women cultivating cardamon under
regenerating forest
16. Rice paddies surrounded by newly allocated communal protected forest in
Sung Hoang. Improved water supply, more NTFPs and secure sacred forest
will result from this allocation process
17. In the distance, Phin Ngan community forest, now under strong protection
