Displaying 1681 - 1685 of 2117Indigenous and Afro-Colombian women contributing to biodiversity conservation
General
Many indigenous and Afro-Colombian groups live in the departments of Chocó and Antioquia in the biodiversity-rich northwest region of Colombia. National and regional protected areas there are particularly exposed to pressure from the mining industry. The project therefore supported the development of land use planning strategies for indigenous territories, strengthened community production systems and identified opportunities for the sustainable use of biodiversity, particularly in the case of women. Traditional knowledge was thus preserved and made more valuable for the departments’ inhabitants. The project also trained and strengthened indigenous people, who can then exercise their territorial rights and become more involved in decision-making processes. The interaction between nature reserves and areas managed by indigenous and Afro-Colombian groups was also supported, contributing to the exploitation of synergies and the sustainable development of the region.
IDH Landscapes Program
General
The Central Highlands of Vietnam, including the Provinces of Lam Dong, Dak Nong, Dak Lak, Gia Lai and Kon Tum,) play a key role in the production of several agricultural and forestry commodities such as coffee, pepper, rubber, cashew, tea and cocoa. The three issues of water, deforestation and land degradation are very much interlinked with each other and IDH plays an important role in clarifying these relationships in a systematic way. In relation to this aspect, IDH fosters cross-sectoral and public-private cooperation to address issues systematically. Addressing the behavior of agricultural commodity producers needs is complemented by changes in public policies and regulation that are equally steering and (dis) incentivizing sustainable practices. Moreover, questions about the long-term viability of certain crops in (dry) areas of the Central Highlands requires integrated landscape management and better zonal planning. In this landscape, IDH adds value by bringing in the elements of public-private cooperation, cross-sectoral cooperation, and by addressing the interrelatedness of various natural resource issues.
