ArticleStudy on residents’ willingness to accept based on double-bounded dichotomous CVM: a case study of Qianjiangyuan National Park pilot, China
XV World Forestry Congress, 2-6 May 2022
2022Also available in:
No results found.This study, by taking Qianjiangyuan National Park Pilot as an example, was to analyze community residents' willingness to accept(WTA) for ecological benefits, and the influencing factors, so as to provide some reference for the future policy. Questionnaire survey was conducted on the spot. Guided by the double-bounded dichotomous contingent valuation method (CVM), this study calculated WTA and analyzed its influencing factors. The estimated WTA is 155.37 yuan RMB per mu per year, which is much higher than the current compensation implemented in this area. Respondents' family characteristics (including the number of household labor force, agroforestry income proportion, location, etc.) are more important and significant in their WTA decision-making. The respondents' cognition towards the National Park also affected their choice of WTA. Most of the respondents agreed that the priority goal of the National Park is "ecological protection", and the preferred WTA of the respondents who have this recognition will also be reduced. However, there are still some community residents who do not know the National Park clearly. Therefore, it is necessary to further strengthen the publicity and education work of the National Park to enhance residents' awareness.

ArticleReducing risks from forest fire and disasters through a community-based forest fire brigade (MPA), a case study in Danau Sentarum National Park
XV World Forestry Congress, 2-6 May 2022
2022Also available in:
No results found.The TNBKDS is an exotic ecosystem and has designated as one of the world biospheres reserves. The Park is also inhabited by around 6,000 people. Ecotourism, biodiversity, and cultural value attracts many domestic and international tourists. However, the park has high-risk from forest fire and flooding. During 2014-2019, forest fire in the park is recorded at the average of 206.6 Ha. The lake has also experienced in regular flooding. Reducing these risks should involve community by strengthening their capacity to protect their home. Consultations and SWOT analysis was used to map community capacity and to rank the threat. Opportunities on livelihood improvement is also identified to develop approach and strategy in reducing risks and improving their income. A GIS tool was used to monitor forest fire. A total of 10 MPA were established in 10 villages, involving 300 peoples (300 households). From series of consultations, 100% agreed that community need to involve in combating forest fire and reducing the damage from flooding. FIP-1 provides forest fire equipment, as well as series of training on forest fire, forest monitoring using GPS, alternative income activities such as bee keeping, fish processing, and women empowerment. Establishment of MPA and implementation of forest patrol for the period of 2018-Jun 2021 has directly protected a forest area from forest fire of 11,265 ha and non-forest area of 82,481 ha. Community participation is the key success of reducing risks from forest fire. Training program is also essential to support community capacity in reducing hotspots and to provide alternative income for their sustainable live within the national park.

BookletExperiences of integrating agriculture in sectoral and national adaptation planning processes: Case study Thailand
Safeguarding livelihoods and promoting resilience through National Adaptation Plans
2020Also available in:
No results found.This country case study on Thailand is part of a series that describes the steps taken to formulate and implement National Adaptation Plans (NAPs), with a particular emphasis on adaptation in agriculture (including forestry, livestock and fisheries). The series aims to provide national policy makers with valuable information from colleagues and counterparts in Asia, Africa and Latin America who are on the same NAP journey to address the multiple challenges posed by climate change. The case study on Thailand aims to show the links between long-term adaptation planning/NAPs and activities supported by the NAP–Ag programme in Thailand as well as the resulting impacts.
