| Abstract |
MaMaBay faces many challenges – growing demands for agricultural land, intensive bushmeat hunting, illegal logging, unchecked and unsustainable fishing and expanding oil and gas industries. As productivity of the land is increasingly diminished by poor planning and land-use practices, more people turn to the forest and the sea for their livelihoods. |
| Objective |
(1) Promote sustainable systems of forest, agriculture, coastal and marine resource management by local communities; (2) Build effective governance capacity in local communities and regional authorities; (3) Improve ranger based monitoring and control, community participatory monitoring and adaptive management. Timescale: 2 years. |
