Enhancing NGO capacity on community-based conservation and development in Myanmar

The Community Conservation Concession Agreement (CCCA) is an innovative approach to conservation which gives different stakeholders environmental protection rights and limited development rights within protected areas. It involves communities in conservation efforts while supporting their livelihoods. In 2016, the CCCA model was introduced in Myanmar by the Global Environmental Institute through four local NGOs. Sixteen projects were conducted and over 4,000 hectares of land were conserved.

 

As a key strategy to sustain gains and increase the impact of CCCA model, in 2017 this project was implemented to enhance the capacity of groups and organizations in Myanmar on CCCA and community-based conservation and development. With the support of CEPF, GEI conducted a series of trainings on CCCA implementation. It built a platform for local NGOs to collaborate with government agencies, to network with international donors, and conducted a series of trainings on CCCA implementation.

Preserving Virginia’s native landscapes with the help of citizen scientists and private landowners

Virginia Working Landscapes (VWL) is a program of the Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute that promotes the conservation of native biodiversity and sustainable land use through research, education and community engagement. 

 

VWL partners with a regional network of organizations, landowners and citizen scientists in order to conduct innovative research on Virginia’s native plants and wildlife. Research is conducted on both public and private lands, with a focus on biodiversity, ecosystem services and threatened species.

 

Community engagement is key to this program. Each year, VWL trains a dedicated group of citizen scientists to conduct biodiversity surveys. The individuals play an important role both as researchers, and as conservation ambassadors in the community.

 

The data collected by citizen scientists is then used engage and educate local landowners about biodiversity and sustainable land-use.

 

Saving the last wild horse species through GPS satellite tracking and community involvement

Scientists at the Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute’s Conservation Ecology Center are working to save Przewalski’s horses (Equus ferus przewalskii), the last surviving wild horse species.

 

The team of experts partnered with China’s Xinjiang Forestry Department and The Wilds to develop new, cutting-edge GPS tracking devices that are small, solar-powered transmitters that can be braided into the tail hair of a horse.

 

Smithsonian scientists also worked with partners reintroducing the horses back into the wild, to build capacity of project staff and students, and to increase local community involvement through workshops, discussion groups, and the establishment of a scouting program. The latter provides critical economic opportunity for local people through participation in monitoring the horses during winter.
