Please report on the result /achievement of the actions taken:
There has been some good dialogue at the Global level, but the resources have not been committed by major conservation organisations to make this a success.
There have been some slow advances at the local level: e.g. in Kenya in relation to the Ogiek, but the Government's forceful evictions of the Sengwer - including shooting and killing - demonstrate that conservation organisations and international donors must take a firm approach and ally with human rights organisations and communities to ensure the successful securing of community and ecological well-being.
Meanwhile in DRC the only reason for the possible resumption of an effective dialogue in relation to the Batwa appears to be because PNKB/ ICCN has gone as far as killing a Batwa man, and because the Batwa have taken it on themselves to bear all the risk of returning to their gazette lands. That such dialogue is not pursued as a matter of course here, in Thailand, in Cameroon, etc. but instead often appears to be sacrificed in order to please governments and other powerful players, is a very disturbing possible conclusion.
What challenges have you encountered in implementing this Resolution and what measures have you taken to overcome them?:
Challenges remain huge: (1) Seeking paradigm change: This is NOT fundamentally a question of conflict between communities and conservation, BUT of forceful appropriation by powerful forces. (2) Lacking financial resources and strong institutional support. (3) The 3 WMs have not always received support from key actors (e.g. ESARO in Kenya, ICCN in DRC)
