progressively worsening water crisis. Much of the original broadleaf forest in the Miyun watershed haddisappeared. Reforestation activities p<strong>la</strong>nted <strong>la</strong>rge areas of conifers and other species, and institutedstrict controls on <strong>la</strong>nd and forest use, including a total ban on logging. Four years ago, the problemwas that these strictly protected and mainly young, even-aged stands of trees were in a poorcondition. This was because they had not been actively managed. Local communities had alsobecome progressively disadvantaged in economic terms over the <strong>la</strong>st <strong>de</strong>ca<strong>de</strong>s, as a result of thelogging ban and strict regu<strong>la</strong>tion of their access to forests.It was against this backdrop that <strong>IUCN</strong>’s Livelihoods and Landscapes (LLS) project was initiated in theMiyun watershed in 2007. The project’s aim is “the establishment of national and local policies andprogrammes that optimize forest’s contribution to rural poverty reduction enhances long-term an<strong>de</strong>quitable conservation of biodiversity and ensures the sustainable supply of forest-re<strong>la</strong>ted goods andservices”.The project introduced a new set of forest management tools which represented a shift from a strictlyprotective and very conservative regime, to one which was based on sustainable use and activemanagement by local communities. At the same time, consi<strong>de</strong>rable efforts were ma<strong>de</strong> to find otherways of strengthening livelihoods, promoting sustainable forest use, and adding value at the locallevel.Among the main results of this project is the creation and support of a trans-boundary and inter-sectorcooperation mechanism for managing Miyun watershed. A road map was <strong>de</strong>veloped to support futurewatershed governance initiatives and a liaison group formed to trans<strong>la</strong>te willingness to actions. Theneed to establish a sustainable financing mechanism was i<strong>de</strong>ntified, leading to the prioritization an<strong>de</strong>conomic analysis of Forest Landscape Restoration (FLR) in Miyun. A second pilot phase wasimplemented in Hebei province and scaling up efforts were un<strong>de</strong>rtaken to promote Forest LandscapeRestoration across the country.Demonstration activities led to the <strong>de</strong>velopment of forest management p<strong>la</strong>ns for two vil<strong>la</strong>ges, improvedforest management in two pilot sites covering 80 hectares and direct benefits to nearly 60 householdsin the form of increases in local incomes.Accession of Lao PDR to the Ramsar ConventionOf the four countries in the Lower Mekong Basin only Lao PDR was not a member country of theRamsar Convention on Wet<strong>la</strong>nds of International Significance. Lao wet<strong>la</strong>nds, including those ofinternational importance, were neither effectively protected nor managed, leading to the loss of somewet<strong>la</strong>nds and wet<strong>la</strong>nd functions. To address this situation <strong>IUCN</strong> supported the accession of Lao PDRin 2010 to the Ramsar Convention on Wet<strong>la</strong>nds of International Significance, and a subsequentincreased coverage of wet<strong>la</strong>nds un<strong>de</strong>r the convention<strong>IUCN</strong> i<strong>de</strong>ntified key materials for advocacy and awareness raising, and trans<strong>la</strong>ted relevant documentsand materials from the Ramsar Secretariat into the Lao <strong>la</strong>nguage. Both <strong>de</strong>cision makers and technicalofficials from the Department of Treaties of Ministry of Foreign Affairs, <strong>IUCN</strong> State member, Water,Resource and Environmental Authority, and Ministry of Agriculture and Forests worked with <strong>IUCN</strong> tofurther pursue the ratification process and influence policy, especially working through the NationalEnvironment Committee and the National Assembly.The processes took eight years leading Lao PDR to join the Ramsar Convention, as its 160thmember, on 28 September 2010, the establishment of Laos’ first two Ramsar sites (Beung Kiat Nongin Champassak province on 02 February, and Xe Champhone in Savannakhet province on 06February 2011) and the creation of a National Committee for Wet<strong>la</strong>nd Management.Leveraging policy influence in Guinee-Bissau<strong>IUCN</strong>’s work in Guinea-Bissau was originally set up to implement a coastal p<strong>la</strong>nning project, but hasemerged as a good example of working with Members and the government to create positive changesfor the environment. Through <strong>IUCN</strong>’s original work on coastal p<strong>la</strong>nning, the Institute of Biodiversity andProtected Areas and the Office of Coastal P<strong>la</strong>nning were created as two new public institutions.<strong>IUCN</strong> has worked with its nine Members in the country alongsi<strong>de</strong> the government through a dialogueto <strong>de</strong>fine priorities for investment in projects on the ground. <strong>IUCN</strong> also helped form a network of346
Parliamentarians who support the environment, which has led indirectly to the establishment of morethan ten <strong>la</strong>ws, <strong>de</strong>crees and conventions re<strong>la</strong>ted to environment.Improving governance of <strong>la</strong>rge dams in West AfricaThe benefits <strong>de</strong>rived from <strong>la</strong>rge dams in West Africa are not equally shared among local stakehol<strong>de</strong>rs.While the <strong>de</strong>velopment of dams has fostered national <strong>de</strong>velopment they also pose social an<strong>de</strong>nvironmental challenges, particu<strong>la</strong>rly at the local level by disrupting means of subsistence (naturalresources) and production systems, and by increasing in conflict amongst local popu<strong>la</strong>tions.In partnership with IIED, <strong>IUCN</strong> aimed to work with local stakehol<strong>de</strong>rs to achieve good governance ofthese reservoirs at the local, national and regional levels. <strong>IUCN</strong> promoted the participation, dialogueand agreement with all stakehol<strong>de</strong>rs, in particu<strong>la</strong>r the representatives of users and civil society in thei<strong>de</strong>ntification, construction and exploitation of dams. At the local level, <strong>IUCN</strong> raised awareness andfacilitated participatory processes to improve the management of dams. At the regional level, <strong>IUCN</strong>promoted dialogue among stakehol<strong>de</strong>rs on <strong>la</strong>rge hydraulic infrastructure.The dialogues led to the official adoption of civil society’s contribution by the Economic Community ofWest Africa Countries (CEDAO) in December 2011, and the creation of a regional directive that will bestatutory for all countries in the region. This process has also influenced the Authority of the NigerBasin and its Water Charter. At the local level, <strong>IUCN</strong> also facilitated simi<strong>la</strong>r processes in Burkina Faso(Kompienga Dam), Mali (Sélingué Dam) and Senegal (Confluent/Niandouba), with tangible resultssuch as the creation of a roadmap where all actors have been involved, the reactivation of the localwater committee in Sélingué and the creation of an actors’ p<strong>la</strong>tform in the Anambé Dam.Enhancing wet<strong>la</strong>nd protection in UgandaWet<strong>la</strong>nd resources in Uganda have suffered the tragedy of the commons: all people rely on wet<strong>la</strong>ndsbut few take responsibility for managing wet<strong>la</strong>nds. The situation was ma<strong>de</strong> worse by the fact thatwet<strong>la</strong>nds were not inclu<strong>de</strong>d in Uganda’s protected areas network, and the local government was illequippedto take on the management role. Current statistics indicate that Uganda’s wet<strong>la</strong>nds had a3% <strong>de</strong>cline in 2010.<strong>IUCN</strong>’s main goal has been to strengthen the Ugandan National Protected Area network by expandingits coverage to inclu<strong>de</strong> the country’s biologically important wet<strong>la</strong>nd ecosystems.<strong>IUCN</strong> promoted the <strong>de</strong>velopment and piloting of suitable PA management regimes in tworepresentative wet<strong>la</strong>nd systems: Bisina-Opeta (covering approximately 124,000 hectares) and LakeNakivaale-Mburo (approximately 27,000 hectares) system, which are also Ramsar sites. Six wet<strong>la</strong>ndCommunity Conservation Area (CCA) mo<strong>de</strong>ls were <strong>de</strong>signed to optimize the effective managementand sustainability of the expan<strong>de</strong>d PA networks, which were inclu<strong>de</strong>d into local level p<strong>la</strong>nningprocesses.As concrete results on the ground, the Nakivaale-Mburo Ramsar wet<strong>la</strong>nd site has registered relevantresults, such as better fish catches, a marked recovery of the <strong>la</strong>ke by two kilometres of the formerlyrece<strong>de</strong>d length. Communities have indicated that wildlife such as the crane and hippos had returned.<strong>IUCN</strong> also influenced various national level policy processes that support protected areasmanagement including the Wet<strong>la</strong>nd Bill (2012) and the Wildlife Policy.Implementing Aichi Targets in South America: from Policy to Regional and National ActionSouth America, the most bio-diverse region in the world, faces several threats to conserve its naturalcapital, such as loss of habitat, invasive species, and traffic of natural resources. Various actors use<strong>IUCN</strong> governance tools, such as rights-based approaches, governance types for protected areas,increased participation of indigenous peoples and local communities, to address these drivers andthrough scaling-up processes from the local to the international levels.In the framework of Aichi Targets, <strong>IUCN</strong> is encouraging the integration of National Committees in theimplementation of these targets, both at the practical and political levels in countries like Ecuador andBrazil. <strong>IUCN</strong> was involved in sub-regional processes, supporting the An<strong>de</strong>an Community (CAN) in2009 for a South American dialogue to discuss the CBD 2010 Target. <strong>IUCN</strong> also supported the CBDSecretariat in the implementation of the National Biodiversity Strategy and Action P<strong>la</strong>n SouthAmerican Capacity Building Workshop in 2011.347
