Social marketing training and campaigns will be implemented at 12 sites in Indonesia, through the government agencies responsible for management of priority marine protected areas. Each campaign will target a local population of about 20,000 people, and aim to change the behaviour of the fishing communities such that they understand the importance of no-take zones, respect them and support their enforcement. This will result in recovery of local fisheries and marine biodiversity and improve the management of about four million hectares of protected areas in Indonesia. Capacity of the local partners will be greatly strengthened so that they can sustain the campaigns and their impacts beyond the initial project. |
| funding needed |
$2,750,000.00 |
| objective |
|
| ecosystem service benefits |
The Program will support improved food security and improved income generation through sustainable fisheries management. Disease spread (and educational attainment) will be improved through improved levels of protein intake, especially among the poorer community members. Traditional access rights will be respected and reinforced. In some sites, where scuba diving tourism occurs, tourism will be improved due to the potential to see more large fish and enhanced marine diversity.
Adaptation to climate change will result from effective conservation of NTZs, and this can be further improved by mapping and conservation of areas that are more resilient to rises in sea water temperature.
|
| area(s) impacted |
To be determined. About 50 of Indonesia’s official marine protected areas are candidate sites, from which 12 will be chosen. |

Social marketing training and campaigns will be implemented to expand community-based forest management at 15 sites in Indonesia, through government agencies and local community associations. Each campaign will target a local population of about 20,000 people, and aim to change the behaviour of the communities such that they understand the importance of sustainable forest management and support its implementation actively. This will result in the conservation and sustainable management of forest biodiversity and improve the management of about one million hectares of protected areas in Indonesia with direct community-led management of buffer zones. Capacity of the local partners will be greatly strengthened so that they can sustain the campaigns and their impacts beyond the initial project. |
| funding needed |
$2,750,000.00 |
| objective |
This project aims to: foster understanding of the importance of forest management; build an effective and replicabe community-involved approach to forest management through a clear co-management approach; and increase forest cover while reducing forest degradation and clearing by directly engaging local communities. |
| ecosystem service benefits |
The Program will support improved food security and improved income generation through sustainable forest management. Disease spread (and educational attainment) will be improved through improved nutrition, especially among the poorer community members. Traditional access rights will be respected and reinforced. In some sites, tourism will be improved due to the potential to see forest diversity and stay in traditional homestays.
Adaptation to climate change will result from effective conservation of forests, which in turn will help to conserve freshwater supplies and reduce seasonality of flow. Reduced forest degradation will also improve forest resilience to the spread of fire due to the heightened humidity at the forest floor.

In addition to protecting coral reefs, mangroves and seagrass beds, Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) in Kenya have additional biodiversity attributes including; protecting the only remaining population of dugong in Kenya in the Kiunga MPA, protecting key feeding and breeding grounds for sea turtles in the Kiunga, Malindi-Watamu and Mombasa MPAs and protecting part of the largest mangrove forest on the Kenyan coast. Additional important attributes that have not been evaluated include carbon sequestration by coral reefs, mangroves and seagrass beds, the potential for medicinal products and the recreational and aesthetic value of these areas. Although no country-wide geographical prioritization of biodiversity has been carried out in Kenya, the high dependence of coastal communities on marine resources, the importance of MPAs for tourism (the mainstay of the Kenyan economy), fisheries and biodiversity and other ecosystem services, and the serious threat of climate change on coral reefs and associated ecosystems increase the urgency for strengthening the management of Kenyan MPAs. |
| funding needed |
$1,400,000.00 |
| objective |
The overall objective of the project is to enhance biodiversity conservation of marine habitats and species, improve management of MPAs and support the development of initiatives that improve livelihoods of coastal communities. |

| area(s) impacted |
The project will contribute significantly towards national priorities as laid out in the in Poverty Reduction Strategy, Vision 2030, the National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan and natural resource policies including the Wildlife, ICZM, Fisheries and Ocean Policy, and Forest Policy amongst others. All these policies embody sustainable exploitation, management and conservation of the environment and natural resources, equitable sharing of benefits and empowerment of communities as important pillows of development. In addition, the new Constitution of Kenya reiterates the national responsibility for the environment under article 69 (1) (a). Most MPA's in Kenya also serve as critical carbon sinks and therefore could potentially participate in national REDDS strategies and action plans.

The aim of this project is to improve the management of the Togodo-South and Togodo-North Complex and strengthen the national system of protected areas in Togo. This is particularly important due to the poor management of protected areas in the country and lack of effective policies related to the creation and management of protected areas, which would improve the living conditions of the local population and contribute to income generation. As a result, the idea of conservation has been met with resistance from the local communities, while the management of the system of protected areas in Togo remains inadequate. For this reason, it is very important to improve the management of the existing protected areas in the Togodo-South and Togodo-North Complex and create new ones in a manner that involves the local communities and allows them to generate benefits from the protected areas. |
