Activit�s de terrain12. ICCA documentation and mapping. WWF Indonesia continued work with ICCA custodians to map and document ICCAs in Indonesia, especially in the province of North Kalimantan (District of Malinau). CENESTA is carrying out documentation of eight ICCAs in different climatic areas of Iran, documentation of their knowledge, resources, ecological assets, territorial integrity, and their connection with protected areas. Several of these ICCAs overlap with protected areas. CENESTA is also carrying out participatory mapping of ICCAs with the Shahsevan tribal confederation, including ICCAs which overlap protected areas and those adversely affected by agricultural development projects. The Foundation for Ecological Security is assisting villages in India with ICCA documentation and with obtaining official recognition of Community Forest Rights. NTFP-EP Philippines assisted with mapping of an ICCA in Brooke’s Point, Palawan, Philippines that includes an important forest resource (resin trees) and overlaps with Mt. Mantalingahan Protected Landscape. NTFP-EP partner Bukluran (the ICCA Consortium Philippines) continues to map and document ten ICCAs with the Biodiversity Management Bureau, Department of Environment and Natural Resources through the Philippine ICCA Project, including three ICCA/PA overlap situations. On-going
Activit�s de terrain13. Assist ICCA custodians in developing ICCA plans and related plans. NTFP-EP and partners, the Foundation for Ecological Security, and Corporación Grupo Randi Randi (CCRG) have worked in the Philippines, India, and Ecuador with custodian indigenous peoples and local communities in preparing conservation plans and land management plans, including in situations in which ICCAs overlap with protected areas. NTFP-EP Philippines is assisting custodians of an ICCA in Brooke’s Point, Palawan with formulating their Conservation Plan, which will be incorporated into their Ancestral Domain Sustainable Development and Protection Plan (ADSDPP), a prerequisite for the awarding of ancestral land titles. Corporación Grupo Randi Randi (CCRG) continued to work with the Ecuadorian Ministry of the Environment (MAE) and community members in support of conservation in the El Angel Ecological Reserve (Comité de Gestión REEA), Ecuador. Nearly 100% of the land of this reserve is owned either collectively or by individual farmers, most of whom are members of the collective property associations. In 2018 the MAE approved 16 farm management plans for farms within and bordering the reserve that had been facilitated by CGRR in 2016-2017 through a GEF initiative with MAE and with funding and support from the Wildlife Conservation Society. CGRR and the MAE also developed guidelines and parameters for these plans that will guide the planning of additional properties in the reserve.On-going
Activit�s de terrain14. ICCA Registration. WWF Indonesia assisted three Indigenous communities with the process of gaining recognition for their territories (and ICCAs) at district level as “customary forest” and the WGII assisted two additional Indigenous communities with preparing to apply for ‘customary forest’ recognition of forest areas within their customary territories. WWF-Indonesia funded the WGII to develop a web-link between the online national registration platform for ICCAs that was launched by WGII in 2017 and an online mapping program (www.tanahkita.id). The Foundation for Ecological Security (FES) works in India to assist communities in obtaining Community Forest Resources titles under the Forest Rights Act, 2006 within protected areas and reserve forests. On-going
Activit�s visant � influencer et/ou promouvoir les politiques15. Advocacy for international policy. CENESTA, as Iran’s representative to the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), advocates for adoption and implementation of CBD decisions and IUCN policies, including Resolution 6.030. NTFP-EP lobbied for ICCA recognition and support to the ASEAN Working Group on Social Forestry (AWG-SF) and presented on country initiatives and ICCA mapping in a two hour-long learning session in the CSO Forum that preceded the June 2018 AWG-SF Conference in Vietnam. The recommendations adopted by the CSO Forum including one supporting ICCAs.On-going
Activit�s visant � influencer et/ou promouvoir les politiques16. Advocacy for national law development and implementation in the Philippines, Indonesia, Vietnam, Iran, and India. NTEF-EP and partners advocated adoption of the ICCA Bill that is now under consideration in the Philippines senate. This bill upholds traditional governance of ICCAs in situations in which they overlap with protected areas. NTFP-EP partners Bukluran, PAFID and ANGOC have been involved in the drafting of the Implementing Rules and Regulations of the Expanded National Integrated Protected Areas System (ENIPAS) Act of 2018, which amended the 24-year old National Integrated Protected Area Systems (NIPAS) Act). This law contains provisions for indigenous peoples’ rights and ICCAs in protected areas which overlap with ancestral domains. NTEP-EP and partners held several consultations and workshops with the Department of Environment and Natural Resources about the provisions of the amended law. NTFP-EP, with Vietnam partners including PanNature, successfully lobbied for the inclusion of some types of ICCAs in the forestry law. They are currently working on the institutionalization of the new law’s articles on spirit forests and watershed protection forests. WWF Indonesia is advocating special recognition for ICCAs within protected areas in the form of a decree for recognition of customary forests. On-going
Activit�s visant � influencer et/ou promouvoir les politiques17. Advocacy for national law development and implementation (continued). CENESTA is working to shape policy through advocacy, including on the role of indigenous peoples and local communities in nature conservation, protected area diversity, recognition of ICCAs and ICCAs overlapped by protected areas, participatory activities and action plans in ICCAs, and actions on behalf of nomadic peoples. This includes advocacy work with the Forest, Rangeland and Watershed Management Organization (FRWO) the Iranian parliament’s committee on Agriculture, Water, and Natural Resources, the National Steering Committee on Rangelands and Livestock, and the Expediency Discernment Council of Iran. The Foundation for Ecological Security is working in India for implementation of the 2006 Forest Act, which enables recognition of ICCAs inside protected areas.On-going
