Grenadines Marine Resource Space-use Information System (MarSIS)

The Grenadines MarSIS illustrates how a participatory geographic information system (PGIS) approach supported the development of demand-driven information on marine resources and spatial uses of the transboundary Grenada Bank. Stakeholder engagement not only increased understanding and provided useful and publicly accessible information, but also created ownership of information produced and validated the role of participation in research and governance.

Mass-media radio drama in Rwanda protects gorilla habitat

In Rwanda, Population Media Center (PMC) wrote and produced Umurage Urukwiye (“Rwanda’s Brighter Future”) in Kinyarwanda, one of Rwanda’s official languages. This 312-episode radio serial drama aired April 2007 to July 2009 and was rebroadcast October 2012 to October 2014. One of Umurage Urukwiye’s storylines role modeled the preservation of forests, natural resources, and mountain gorillas, and motivated the audience to protect and rehabilitate the park forests.

Using ICT tools in participatory vulnerability assessments

Using Information Communication Technologies (ICT) tools to facilitate participatory climate change vulnerability assessments addresses the challenge of effectively engaging a wide range of stakeholders, including those at different literacy and capacity levels, to capture local and traditional knowledge as well as stakeholder input on priority needs and opportunities for resilience building in the Caribbean islands.

Integrated approach for sea turtle conservation

ARCAS implements conservation activities on the Pacific coast of Guatemala to counteract threats to leatherback and olive ridley turtle populations from overharvesting by local egg collectors. We work with local communities by training, supporting and advising them in the protection of marine ecosystems. Environmental education helps to ensure long-term sustainable community development, and volunteers and sponsors are invited to participate in conservation activities.

Functioning watersheds in the face of climate change

This solution promotes the integrated management of coastal watersheds that drain into the Gulf of Mexico and the Gulf of California by aligning the investments of public and private agencies to address climate change impacts and coastal and marine conservation. It is the foundation for enduring cross-sectorial coordination and local participation to maintain and recover watershed functions that deliver ecosystem services, which benefit cities and rural communities.

ConCiencia – Conservation through Love //Guerilla Environmental Education

We work with locals to form closer bonds and vigilance over nature by creating nature camps in different locations.

We include fun, purposeful family activities. Children and parents form the confidence to spend time in nature and explore.

By developing teaching resources and collaborating with schools, we can slowly insert immersive nature experiences in curriculum. It is important to have changes in policy to scale this kind of education approach.

Conflict resolution strategy for Kahuzi-Biega National Park

Eastern DR Congo is one of the most difficult areas on the planet, with over 20 years of civil unrest, displacement,… WCS, GRASP and IISD developed a Conflict Sensitive Conservation methodology with national park managers. It focuses on analysis of key themes of conflict, analysis of their causes and effects, identification and mapping of stakeholders and how they affect/are affected by conflicts, and development of conflict resolution strategy.

Cozumel Reef Management Cooperation

Due to its spectacular marine life, Cozumel is a main tourist destination for diving. Poorly planned and managed tourism development has critically damaged Cozumel’s coastal and marine habitats. Strengthened cooperation and coordination among key public and private stakeholder groups are necessary to more effectively implement the environmental management plan. In addition, information campaigns raise the local population’s awareness and involve them in protection and conservation strategies.
