La reserve de développement durable Mamirauá – Traivaller avec les communautés autochtones en Amazonie

L’Institut de développement durable Mamirauá a été fondé en 1999 en vue de proposer des connaissances scientifiques, technologiques et novatrices aux communautés de la région de l’Amazonie. Le mandat est exercé avec le plus haut niveau d’éthique et de responsabilité, en respectant les connaissances traditionnelles des habitants.

L’Institut a créé la Réserve de développement durable de Mamirauá. D’une superficie de 1 240 000 hectares, la Réserve abrite la plus grande zone humide de la planète, ce qui la place au premier rang des réserves de développement durable (de catégorie 6 de l’Union internationale pour la conservation de la nature) au Brésil.

Au cours des dernières décennies, la Réserve de développement durable de Mamirauá a été surexploitée par des entreprises privées. C’est pourquoi l’Institut travaille en étroite collaboration avec les communautés locales afin de veiller à l’utilisation durable des ressources halieutiques.

Sqba Community Adopts the Satoyama Initiative: Promoting Eco-Friendly Farming and Traditional Crop Conservation

The Sqba Community is located in a mid-altitude forest with abundant ecological resources. Once an industrial area for the Hrung tribe, the community now comprises 33% Atayal, alongside populations of Hakka, Minnan, and Mainlanders. Local industries center on agriculture, particularly fruit production such as persimmons, and tourism, featuring campsites, ecotours, fruit-picking experiences, cultural ecology guided tours, and DIY workshops that make use of local ecological resources. Under the Satoyama Initiative, the Taichung Branch of the Forestry and Nature Conservation Agency conducted resilience assessment workshops (RAWs) in collaboration with locals to identify and prioritize urgent needs, such as conserving traditional crops, promoting sustainable use of forest, river, and field resources, and leveraging ecological assets for income generation and marketing. The local government and agricultural technology departments also participated.

Watering troughs for strictly protected animal species

This solution focuses on addressing the challenge of surface water availability for wildlife in the mountain regions in Southwestern Serbia. Less surface water is available to wildlife due to climate change, jeopardizing the survival of numerous protected species such as the Griffon vulture, Cinereous vulture, Eastern imperial eagle, Ural owl, Brown bear and Common wolf. This project provides for a reliable, year-round water supply system through the construction of watering troughs and associated infrastructure near the existing supplementary feeding site for vultures, birds of prey and large carnivores. Advanced real time video surveillance has been made available to monitor usage and collect data on the movements and diversity of protected species at the supplementary feeding and watering site. The solution also includes an awareness-raising campaign for the local community on the importance of the habitat and species conservation.

Conservation and sustainable use of Indigenous agricultural genetic diversity in Hubei

Hubei Province, a key agricultural region in central China, boasts rich agrobiodiversity with over 6,200 crop varieties and 23 livestock species. However, policy focus on production intensification threatens traditional farming practices and the diversity of genetic resources for food and agriculture (GRFA). This Solution prioritizes in-situ agrobiodiversity conservation that reduces GRFA threats, exemplified by a project targeting three indigenous varieties—Yanzhi rice, Wudang tea, and black goat—and establishing demonstration sites in Xishui, Yunyang, and Danjiangkou to promote conservation approaches.

Green Pastures for Green Transition

The project focuses on restoring grassland habitats in the Special Nature Reserve (SNR) Kraljevac by providing the local community with thirty sheep, a solar powered shepherd’s hut and an electrical fence which shall all be used for controlled grazing over 16.5 hectares to prevent habitat succession and support species like the endangered European ground squirrel. Two hectares along Lake Kraljevac have been afforested with native trees such as pedunculate oak, white willow, and poplar. A monitoring system for the European ground squirrel population has been established in order to define the ecological corridors for the species.

Apart from creating favorable conditions for a stable European ground squirrel population, the provision of 30 autochthonous sheep benefits the local community, the local shepherds in particular, and ensures the involvement of the local community in the sustainable management of the critical grassland habitat, whilst enhancing public awareness of the importance of grassland ecosystem conservatio

Local voices, sustainable forests: Participatory landscape restoration

In many African countries, agricultural growth remains a key driver of development. Agriculture ensures food security and is a source of rural income and employment. However, most small farms suffer from low productivity due to soil degradation, a lack of inputs and knowledge of sustainable agricultural practices, and the effects of climate change.

In Côte d’Ivoire, these challenges are amplified by deforestation: forest cover has fallen from around 16 million hectares in the 1960s to 2.5 million today, weakening ecosystems and soil fertility while increasing rural vulnerability.

The Participatory Household-Level Restoration Plan (PPR) offers an inclusive approach where each household aligns its vision, needs, and priorities with forest restoration. By placing rural families at the heart of planning, implementation, and monitoring, the PPR promotes sustainable restoration.

Connectivity Conservation Initiative for Fresh Drinking Water (Konitsa, Greece)

The solution aims at maintaining ecological connectivity in the long-term by allowing the free movement for the endangered carnivores wolf and brown bear among their habitats considering climate change adaptation objectives. The conservation of ecological corridors between their habitats is essential to sustain biodiversity in a changing climate condition and to ensure the resilience of ecological services. In this framework, the proposed solution address the challenge of securing fresh water supply across corridors that can support basic needs of wildlife species. In addition, this solution is based on the documentation of traditional knowledge on sustainable water management engaging local communities and maintaining traditional building techniques related to cultural heritage.

THE EXCLUSIVE ARTISANAL FISHING ZONE: A COMMUNITY INITIATIVE TOWARDS THE CARE OF MARINE MEGAFAUNA AND FOOD SOVEREIGNTY.

The Exclusive Artisanal Fishing Zone (ZEPA), located in the municipalities of Juradó and Bahía Solano, in Chocó, Colombia, was created to protect fishery resources and marine biodiversity, prioritizing artisanal fishing over industrial fishing. This initiative arose in response to overfishing and the negative impact of industrial fishing, which affected the livelihoods of local communities and marine ecosystems. By promoting sustainable practices, such as the use of more selective fishing gear, the ZEPA has facilitated the recovery of species and the protection of crucial habitats for marine megafauna, contributing to essential activities such as echolocation, feeding and reproduction of these species. In addition to conserving biodiversity, it has strengthened local economies by ensuring the availability of fishery resources for artisanal fishing. The ZEPA is an example of how community management and the protection of fishing traditions can lead to ecosystem conservation and improved quality of life for communities.

Mise en place d’une plateforme de concertation au niveau communal pour faciliter la planification et la mise en œuvre des mesures RPF dans la préfecture de Tchamba- région centrale (Togo)

Dans le cadre d’une gestion inclusive de l’environnement, le Togo a établi des Commissions Communales de Développement Durable (CCDD) : des plateformes de consultation décentralisées pour améliorer la participation des communautés aux débats environnementaux. Ces commissions traitent aussi des questions liées à la RPF. F4F-Togo a soutenu la création des CCDD dans trois communes de la préfecture de Tchamba afin d’améliorer la capacité opérationnelle à réaliser des mesures RPF. Une CCDD est une plateforme multisectorielle composée du maire, des chefs de canton, des présidents des comités de village, des responsables des services déconcentrés, des groupements de femmes et d’ONG. Elle agit comme un comité de gestion de l’environnement en général et de la RPF en particulier. Ses membres sont des personnes ressources en matière d’appui conseil et renforcement des capacités, lui permettant d’évaluer les problèmes environnementaux, de proposer des solutions et de mobiliser des ressources.

Securing the genetic resource base of Indigenous plants species

Securing the genetic resource base of Indigenous plants species: A Community Biodiversity Conservation Initiative

We have developed a manual which can help smallholder women farmers replicate the solutions in the South West of Nigeria. At the national level, collaborating with policy makers to include indigenous food plants as key components of in the School feeding programs as well as the Anchor borrowers programme for micro-credits. Our Seed bank Open day programmes provide avenues for exchange and display of seed diversity as well as a model for local seed bank scale up to a national project for the conservation of a larger number of wild crop relatives in Nigeria. We are currently advocating at the National legislature to provide legislative laws on the inclusion of Indigenous food plants to the Nigerian Food policy programme. These initiatives when pulled together will contribute significantly to indigenous Plant Species Conservation.

With limited access to land, women are still custodians of Biodiversity with Knowledge to bolster food security. 65% of the participating community members were women. 53% ages 40-65, 47% ages 18-39. Women participation was supported by their husbands. This saw more women take decision on dietary requirements for their families and strong participatory roles in management and benefits sharing.

Households created small/medium-sized enterprises for steady economic growth which put less pressure to their surrounding forest. As a result of less pressure on the forest for livelihood, new revenue streams are up and running. Local base ecosystems have facilitated growth not only within the Forest Community but beyond, creating opportunities for decent work. Achieving social inclusion was to emphasize “local ownership”. Setting up spaces for dialogue that allowed for the active and inclusive participation of local people ensured that priorities were determined locally and that local concerns were at the core of all activities.

Conflit homme-faune et gestion des espèces menacées dans les aires protégées du Haut Atlas central, Maroc

Dans le Haut Atlas central, il y a un déclin croissant de la biodiversité. Des actions pour la protection des espèces et des habitats ont été initiées. Dans le cadre d’un projet de développement, nous avons formé des braconniers pour devenir des guides touristiques. Nos efforts pour sensibiliser et éduquer le public ont créé une éducation à la conservation efficace et impliqué un certain nombre de personnes dans la surveillance de la faune. Nous avons également initié un projet visant à gérer les conflits homme-faune. Ce projet a accru la tolérance du public envers les animaux sauvages. Au cours des deux dernières décennies, nous avons mené un très grand nombre de recherches scientifiques sur plusieurs espèces et habitats. En parallèle, nous avons impliqué les autorités locales, régionales et nationales dans la protection des espèces et des forêts.

Forêt comestible urbaine

Plus de la moitié de la population mondiale vit en ville, ce qui génère de nombreux problèmes environnementaux et sociaux : pollution, perte de la biodiversité, faible sécurité alimentaire, etc. Notre solution consiste à planter des forêts comestibles en ville. La forêt comestible imite l’écosystème naturel d’une véritable forêt, tout en ayant l’objectif de produire de la nourriture. Nous nous sommes inspirés du modèle de Seattle Beacon Food Forest pour introduire la première forêt comestible publique de Taiwan dans la ville de Hsinchu, en coopération avec la municipalité et les gens du quartier concerné. Des “Work Party” et des ateliers pédagogiques sont régulièrement organisés pour encourager la participation citoyenne. Cette solution apporte une nourriture saine accessible à tous, une opportunité d’apprentissage holistique, et elle permet aussi de cultiver les vertus du partage. Vivre dans un écosystème urbain qui prend à la fois soin de l’homme et de la terre, c’est possible !
