No results found.As part of the efforts of China to establish eco-compensation mechanisms at multiple scales, the pilot project of Compensation for Water Environment of the Xin’an River has set a good example of reaching an agreement between downstream and upstream provinces by means of negotiations and using a carrot-and-stick mechanism to ensure the conditionality of the payment scheme. -
Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetResilient rivers: Watershed-based management of forests, freshwater, and inland fisheries. 2023
Also available in:
No results found.The course coaches learners to understand, monitor, and manage watersheds as integrated systems. Lessons begin with watershed function and then focus on forests, freshwater, and fisheries. In each case emphasizing interlinkages, spatial structure, seasonality, benefits to humans, and simple monitoring indicators. Project work in the upper Kafue River watershed, one of the headwaters of the Zambezi River in Zambia, and in the Magdalena and Atrato Rivers, Colombia, offer local perspectives and convincing case studies for understanding and managing on-the-ground conditions. -
Poster, bannerUpper Kafue River watershed
Forests, freshwater, and fisheries providing food security and sustainable livelihoods
2023Also available in:
No results found.Poster describing integrated watershed analyses for the upper Kafue River watershed, Zambia. The poster describes results of a household survey of riparian communities, spatial assessment of human population density change, remotely-sensed forest cover analyses, fisheries assessments using existing data, and climate forecasts. It integrates on-the-ground research with existing historical data and remote spatial analyses to understand patterns across the watershed, e.g. highest forest cover loss where human population has increased the most and decreasing trends in forest cover and length of fish captures, to develop a monitoring and management plan that is robust and resilient to expected changes in climate.
