Management Activity<br />
d. Analyze and socialize<br />
results of monitoring<br />
3. Incorporate the results<br />
of monitoring to revise and<br />
adjust conservation<br />
strategies,<br />
Guidance<br />
Develop a method to feed-back the results to the<br />
community. An annual or semi-annual meeting is a good<br />
idea.<br />
Write a report on the results and feed it back to forest<br />
management. In case the monitoring indicates a<br />
degradation of forest resources, strategies need to be<br />
designed to protect the resource.<br />
Consultative meetings should be conducted once a year<br />
to:<br />
present and discuss the results of participatory<br />
monitoring<br />
develop conservation strategies if <strong>HCV</strong>s are threatened<br />
evaluate the effectiveness of implemented conservation<br />
strategies<br />
evaluate the conflict resolution mechanisms<br />
<strong>HCV</strong>6. Forest areas critical to local communities’<br />
traditional cultural identity (areas of cultural, ecological,<br />
economic or religious significance in cooperation with<br />
such local communities)<br />
As well as being essential for subsistence and survival, forests can be critical to societies<br />
and communities for their cultural values. This value is designed to protect the<br />
traditional culture of local communities where the forest is critical to their identity,<br />
thereby helping to maintain the cultural integrity of the community.<br />
A forest may be designated a <strong>HCV</strong>F if it contains or provides values without which a local<br />
community would suffer a drastic cultural change and for which the community has no<br />
alternative. Examples of <strong>HCV</strong>F under this part of the definition with relevance to<br />
Indonesia would include:<br />
• Protected forests with restricted uses under traditional communities’ laws, such as<br />
Tanah Ulen in Kenyah Communities of Borneo (traditional areas with limited<br />
harvest rights and no conversion possible).<br />
• Forests containing sacred ancestors’ graveyards.<br />
• Forests used to procure feathers of the Argus Pheasant used by Dayak<br />
communities in Borneo in headdresses for important ceremonies.<br />
• Forests used by migrant communities who are totally dependant on the forest<br />
such as the Punan of Borneo or the Anak Dalam of Southern Sumatra.<br />
As with the preceding <strong>HCV</strong>, identifying <strong>HCV</strong>6 will ultimately require consultation. That<br />
means that Preliminary Assessment can be used to identify where the value is likely to<br />
occur, but a Full Assessment to determine whether it actually is present will always<br />
require consultation at a local level. Because of the shared requirement of consultation<br />
for <strong>HCV</strong>5 and <strong>HCV</strong>6, it will usually be more convenient to examine them together.
