No results found.Nature-based tourism (NBT) is treated as one of the crucial income-generating opportunities for the local communities who are directly and indirectly depended on the natural resources of the protected areas of Bangladesh. Being a multi-stakeholder-based business, NBT development and practice in the ecologically sensitive forest-based protected areas is encapsulated as a complex phenomenon which have further been aggravated due to the application of co-management approach (CMA). CMA is as an alternative management approach to the protected areas of Bangladesh. The CMA is enticing a paradigm shift in protected area management which is basically designed to promote biodiversity conservation through improving its governance and creating income generating opportunities particularly for the local resource user groups. The study explored that NBT governance performs a vital role in ensuring the management and governance of protected areas. Several governance dimensions (participation, accountability, transparency, power, rules of law, and social learning) were studied to analyse how the management and governance of protected areas were persuaded considering CMA as a shared governance approach. The findings of the case study showed that each of the governance dimensions of NBT positively influenced the management and overall governance of Lawachara National Park which facilitated the acceptance and applicability of NBT not only as an income generating opportunity but also a tool to promote the management and governance of the Park. There were many challenges (like lack of trained human resource, incentives, monitoring and tourism management strategies, coordination among the concerned stakeholders, and so on) to practice NBT in a systematic way. Addressing these challenges effectively are expected to further improve the tourists’ experiences as well as the hosts’ experiences that will ultimately improve the overall management and governance status of protected areas.

Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2021
Transforming food systems for food security, improved nutrition and affordable healthy diets for all
2021In recent years, several major drivers have put the world off track to ending world hunger and malnutrition in all its forms by 2030. The challenges have grown with the COVID-19 pandemic and related containment measures. This report presents the first global assessment of food insecurity and malnutrition for 2020 and offers some indication of what hunger might look like by 2030 in a scenario further complicated by the enduring effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. It also includes new estimates of the cost and affordability of healthy diets, which provide an important link between the food security and nutrition indicators and the analysis of their trends. Altogether, the report highlights the need for a deeper reflection on how to better address the global food security and nutrition situation.To understand how hunger and malnutrition have reached these critical levels, this report draws on the analyses of the past four editions, which have produced a vast, evidence-based body of knowledge of the major drivers behind the recent changes in food security and nutrition. These drivers, which are increasing in frequency and intensity, include conflicts, climate variability and extremes, and economic slowdowns and downturns – all exacerbated by the underlying causes of poverty and very high and persistent levels of inequality. In addition, millions of people around the world suffer from food insecurity and different forms of malnutrition because they cannot afford the cost of healthy diets. From a synthesized understanding of this knowledge, updates and additional analyses are generated to create a holistic view of the combined effects of these drivers, both on each other and on food systems, and how they negatively affect food security and nutrition around the world.In turn, the evidence informs an in-depth look at how to move from silo solutions to integrated food systems solutions. In this regard, the report proposes transformative pathways that specifically address the challenges posed by the major drivers, also highlighting the types of policy and investment portfolios required to transform food systems for food security, improved nutrition, and affordable healthy diets for all. The report observes that, while the pandemic has caused major setbacks, there is much to be learned from the vulnerabilities and inequalities it has laid bare. If taken to heart, these new insights and wisdom can help get the world back on track towards the goal of ending hunger, food insecurity, and malnutrition in all its forms. -
