Introduction INTRODUCTION Community-based action, initiated and carried out by local organizations, has an impressive record of successfully delivering development at the local level. Local actors are the chief stewards of the world’s ecosystems – including drylands – and they make the vast majority of daily environmental management decisions with their land use and investment choices. Over generations, they have used their traditional ecological knowledge to manage natural resources, conserve and maintain ecosystems, and adapt to environmental changes. Local civil society groups – employing community-based approaches – deliver a wide range of development benefits when empowered to manage their ecosystems and natural resources. These benefits extend well beyond poverty reduction and livelihood gains and encompass the social, economic, and environmental dividends that underpin sustainable development. Since 2002, the Equator Initiative partnership has been working to recognize and advance local and indigenous efforts that reduce poverty through the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity. One of the primary ways this is accomplished is through the Equator Prize, awarded every two years to leading examples of local sustainable development solutions for people, nature and resilient communities. To date, the prestigious international prize has been awarded to 152 local and indigenous communities, many of which are active in sustainable land management in drylands ecosystems. This case study compendium brings together detailed case studies on twenty Equator Prize winners that have demonstrated outstanding achievement and success in sustainable land management. Each is from the African continent and each tells the story of community leadership in addressing those social, environmental and economic issues that are specific to drylands ecosystems. The intention of the compendium is to present and promote these community projects as best practices in sustainable land management, and to offer them as instructive examples of the environment and development dividends that are possible from empowering local and indigenous community management of dryland ecosystems and resources. The case material, lessons and guidance put forward in this compendium are offered as an input to the Eleventh Conference of the Parties to the UN Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD). 1 Community-Based Sustainable Land Management: Best Practices in Drylands from the Equator Initiative
