Objectives of SDM

Promote the implementation of

activities under the IPSI Strategy and Plan of

Action

Provide an incentive for IPSI members to

strengthen partnerships and to generate a

knock-on effect from joint activities for the

sustainable use of SEPLS

Promote the development of model practices for living in

harmony with nature through sustainable use of

SEPLS and contribution to the Aichi Biodiversity Targets

• “facilitate activities in line with the IPSI Strategy and Plan of Action by providing seed funding a to promising projects that demonstrate good practices”

a. The amount of the funding is

approximately 10,000USD

per organisation

<FY2013-1> Supporting and Promoting the Karen Indigenous Socio-

ecological Production System in Northern Thailand (IKAP, Thailand)

• The Karen people’s sustainable land use systems (esp.

rotational farming) and wildlife/plant habitats secured

against displacement by commercial corn plantation

using GIS mapping of land use systems based on ILK

• A model of Karen’s rotational farming and sustainable

livelihood systems consolidated and to be taken up in

the governmental sub-district and district plans.

<FY2013-4> Converting Pests into Allies in Tea Farming

– a potential case of Satoyama landscape in Hualien, Taiwan

(SWAN International, Taiwan)

• Identified an eco-friendly (EF) tea production system where

small green leafhopper (SGL) populations kept and SGL-fed

tea leaves made into high-price honey-flavored black tea.

• Scientifically demonstrated biodiversity and socio-economic

benefits of the EF tea production system:

– EF tea farms had higher biodiversity than conventional tea farms

– EF practices brought higher revenue with increased employment

Good practices identified in:

• Integration of traditional and modern knowledge systems:

GIS mapping of traditional knowledge/practices enhanced

the external recognition of indigenous communities’ land

tenure and uses

• LBSAP development process: bottom-up, multi-

stakeholder and threat-focused

• Locally sound conservation flagships: Unveiling and

capturing potential economic value of native tree species

• Policy uptake: Tangible results of an on-the-ground

project led to policy uptake and scaling-up

• Scientific validation of “sustainability”: Biodiversity benefits

of SEPLS verified by scientific data

• Protected areas: Introduction of SEPLS management

concept to managing protected areas

• Synergy with other IPSI activities

– Publication of project outputs with the IPSI Case Study series: “Converting Pests into Allies in Tea Farming” (SWAN International)

– Experience sharing at the IPSI’s parallel sessions at ISAPa: “Supporting and Promoting the Karen Indigenous Socio-ecological Production System in Northern Thailand” (IKAP)

– Presentation and promotion at

IPSI Regional Workshops

• Additional in-depth case study

on ILK with IKAP

• Provided a prototype for

the new “GEF-Satoyama Project”

a. ISAP: International Forum for Sustainable Asia and the Pacific: An annual forum oganised by IGES

Lessons Learnt

• USD10,000 can help dedicated IPSI members

– Overcome a key hurdle towards SEPLS sustainability

with an innovative approach

– Visualise and communicate a good practice

• Effective synergies with IPSI activities and other IPSI

collaborative activities

• Need for more focused and in-depth documentation

• Need for clearer demonstration of the contributions to

IPSI and other global processes including:

– CBD Strategic Plan and Aichi Biodiversity Targets

– IPBES

– SDGs

Way Forward

• Help grant recipients access future funding opportunities

– e.g. by demonstrating their competence in publications

• Strategically enhance collective learning through

– Improving selection and M&E modalities

– Strengthening linkage with IPSI and its collaborative activities,

e.g. IPSI Case Study, IPSI Workshops, the GEF-Satoyama Project

and other international conferences

– Promoting focused and in-depth documentation and analysis

(potential area for collaboration with research institutes)

• Visualise contributions to global processes, e.g. Aichi

Biodiversity Targets, IPBES and SDGs, by

– Aligning the M&E indicators with those for the Aichi

Biodiversity Targets and SDGs

– Linking to IPBES, e.g. by responding to the call for ILK papers
