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.
