| Convene stakeholders/Networking | " The culture of conservation in Hawaiʻi is grounded in and guided by Hawaiian knowledge, values, and practice, contributing to an inclusive culture of conservation. " This goal will be further supported by objectives that: o create and share biocultural competency training programs and materials; products and materials that reflect the overall value (waiwai) of conservation; o development of a cohesive understanding of Hawaiian cultural, community, and place-based knowledge of resource management across the islands; o consideration of a full range of cultural perspectives, including use, when pursuing marine, terrestrial and native species management; o and increased community based resources management and co-management " The HCA will host the 2018 Hawaiʻi Conservation Conference, July 24-26th. "Ulu ka Lālā I Ke Kumu" (from a strong foundation grows an abundant future), which will include major themes covering lessons learned from indigenous knowledge/conservation history; invasive species and biosecurity, ongoing research into practice for a thriving 'āina, and building the future. |

| Convene stakeholders/Networking | Ashley Massey and Kevin Chang, both IUCN-CEESP Steering Committee members, attended the International Council on Monuments and Sites (ICOMOS) General Assembly (the theme was “Heritage and Democracy") in Delhi, India. The conference focused on some of the themes of resolution 75 in their discussions (albeit indirectly). ICOMOS adopted what they have called the Yatra Statement (Our purposeful journey) to carry forward the spirit of the Nature Culture Journey (understandably what they chose to call the Culture Nature Journey [CNJ]) and some themes out of the World Conservation Congress’ Mālama Honua statement in their collective work. |

| Education/Communication/Raising awareness | In 2017 the Polynesian Voyaging Society completed its Circumnavigation of the globe on the traditional voyaging canoe Hōkūleʻa, traveling over 60,000 nautical miles around the earth, bringing people around the world together to set a course for a sustainable future. That feat, taking over three years and touching indigenous communities on all continents except Antarctica. Sharing the values of mālama honua (care for the living world), the crew and partners went in search for models of sustainability, as well as a message that blending traditional and modern approaches can build a sustainable future. Building that network of people internationally was an important step toward global sustainability through the values of indigenous peoples around the world. Although the voyage is complete, the networking is ongoing, and the important work begins. | On-going | Full activity report | |

| Policy influencing/advocacy | In Hawaiʻi, it should be noted that the State has begun to do some work -albeit slowly- that supports the sentiments of Motion 75. There has been a movement to uplift the concepts of this motion for some time. In 1994 the state legislature passed a law that allowed the State of Hawaiʻi Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR) to begin working with Hawaiʻi communities on co-governance of their fisheries based on customary and traditional practices “for the purpose of reaffirming and protecting fishing practices customarily and traditionally exercised for purposes of native Hawaiian subsistence, culture, and religion.” After a 20 year effort, in 2015, the State finally passed its first full Community-based subsistence fishing area (CBSFA) designation and rule package for Hāʻena District of the Island of Kauaʻi. Currently, a draft CBSFA proposal for Moʻomomi Coast, Island of Molokaʻi, the first and original –now 25 year- effort that gave birth to the original CBSFA law, lies within the DLNR Division of Aquatic Resources awaiting the initiation of the administrative hearing and rulemaking process. |

| Policy influencing/advocacy | The Hawaiʻi Conservation Alliance (HCA) is a cooperative collaboration of conservation leaders representing more than 25 Hawaiʻi focused government, education and non-profit organizations. o Collectively, HCA is responsible for managing the biodiversity of Hawaiʻi's lands and waters. The organization also represents people who work and use the land and water for social, cultural and agricultural purposes. o The mission of the HCA is to provide unified leadership and advocacy on conservation issues critical to Hawaiʻi. o The purpose is to work together to continue a legacy of stewardship and to achieve the goal of promoting the preservation of native terrestrial and marine ecosystems, increasing the diversity of native species and ensuring that the unique biodiversity of our islands is maintained into the future. " HCA provided leadership and engagement in the development and implementation of the IUCN Hawaii Commitments and will include a report out to the 2020 IUCN WCC " HCA continues to have an active role in both the IUCN and the IUCN Hawaiʻi Hui " HCA has integrated current and future roles and activities to continue to leverage local, regional, national, international and global support for the Hawaii Commitments and Resolution #75 to further achieve the goal of sharing the Hawaiʻi experience as a globally recognized model of effective biocultural conservation. HCA Cultural Sub-Committee has engaged to support the following: " Culturally competent goals that incorporate indigenous concepts of kuleana, aloha, mālama, aloha 'āina etc. within a larger context of the concept of "carrying capacity" " Support for a value-based culture of conservation and biocultural diversity " Support for broad indigenous role in conservation and sustainability through engagement, practitioners, community and cultural leadership development and integration |

Describe the results/achievements of the activities
-Member Indigenous Peoples Organisations (which now total 17) met in early March 2018 to define a self-determined strategy on how to advance indigenous issues within IUCN and in conservation . This was supported by CEESP and the Global Programme on Governance and Rights and will be essential in guiding further work on this Resolution.
-Council requested CEESP Chair to report and track how IUCN affirms the roles of indigenous peoples in global conservation efforts. There will be a report in the Council PPC at each Council meeting
-CI and IUCN are engaged with the Dedicated Grant Mechanism for IPLCs and this mechanism demonstrates and highlights the roles of IPLC in Climate Mitigation efforts and how they support their NDC. The DGM and the contribution of IPLC in the NDC were highlighted at the IUCN Pavilion at the UNFCCC in Bonn in November.
-Indigenous issues featured at the ICOMOS 19th General Assembly and Scientific Symposium.
In Hawai`i, Members provided related information, including:
- HCA in Hawai`i is active in a number of capacity building initiatives around the themes of this Resolution. They will also host a Hawai`i Conservation Conference July 24-26th
-HCA also continues to leverage local, regional, national, international and global support for the Hawaii Commitments and this Resolution in its goal of sharing the Hawai`i experience as a globally recognized model of effective biocultural conservation.
-Polynesian Voyaging Society completed a circumnavigation of the globe on a traditional voyaging canoe. This took three years and they engaged with indigenous communities on all continents except Antarctica and shared messages on blending traditional and modern approaches to build a sustainable future.
-In terms of policy, as described in Progress Report on 6.065, the State of Hawai`i Department of Land and Resources has been working with indigenous communities on co-governance of fisheries based on customary and traditional practices. The state passed its first full Community-based subsistence fishing area (CBSFA) designation and rule package for Hāʻena District of the Island of Kauaʻi. Currently, there is a draft CBSFA proposal for Moʻomomi Coast, Island of Molokaʻi awaiting decisions at the state level.
