Book (series)Lessons learned from global surveys conducted in fisheries and aquaculture during the COVID-19 pandemic 2023
Also available in:
No results found.Conscious of the data scarcity during the COVID-19 pandemic, FAO collaborated with the Johns Hopkins Center for a Liveable Future (CLF), within the Bloomberg School of Public Health (BSPH), to document the impacts of, and responses to, the pandemic. To do so, it conducted a systematic literature review and implemented a survey with support from Globefish, Eurofish and the other Fish Info Networks, together with case studies of Eurofish Member States.This circular describes the findings from the FAO and CLF-supported surveys, and the literature review. The report was further enriched with a collection of work from large studies across the world. -
ArticleInvasive alien plants, insect pests and pathogens in Planted and Natural forests in Nepal: Key lessons from an online survey on distribution and impacts
XV World Forestry Congress, 2-6 May 2022
2022Also available in:
No results found.Owing to its diverse climatic and topographic condition, Nepal hosts diverse forests and rich biodiversity which provide a variety of ecosystem goods and services. Spread of invasive alien plants, insect pests and pathogens (IAS) has been contributing to degrading forest ecosystem services in Nepal. This study outlined the status, distribution and impact of IAS on forest ecosystem using an online survey among forest officers and forest technicians across Nepal. Invasion and management of pests and diseases is quite limited and under-reported, while the management measures on IAPs are growing. Raising awareness at individual and community levels and capacity building among three levels of government (local, provincial and federal) aids sustainable management of IAS and supports continuous delivery of forest goods and services. Keywords: IAS, biological invasions, severity of damages, control measures, forest health ID: 3486929 -
ArticleLessons learned from the ASEAN-Korea green partnership in the restoration and sustainable management of degraded forest ecosystems for the Philippines
XV World Forestry Congress, 2-6 May 2022
2022Also available in:
No results found.This paper presents the lessons learned from the Republic of Korea financed ASEAN-KOREA Environmental Cooperation Project (AKECOP) about two decades of experience in creative collaboration in research and human resource development in the restoration and sustainable management of degraded forest ecosystems in the ASEAN region. The Philippines and nine other participating ASEAN member states (AMS) have learned valuable lessons from the various innovative collaboration strategies employed by the Project. Participatory project management was adopted to ensure project relevance, quality, reliability and equitability and maximum impact. Research and development in-country and cross-cultural collaborative modes were tried and found to be effective strategies in enhancing research outputs and in facilitating research process learning experiences. Cross country exchange visits to locally successful restoration sites were found to be effective schemes for information exchange and technology transfer. And needs-oriented short training programs and graduate studies at the MSc and PhD level were effective strategies in building a pool of high- level expertise in forest restoration and SFM. However, the most valuable lesson from the Project's experience in creative collaboration is that SUCCESS in smaller collaborative initiatives such as AKECO P can inspire the creation of larger institutional partnerships such as Asian Forest Cooperation Organization (AFoCO). As a way forward, the participating AMS have arrived at a consensus that AKECOP should continue to serve as a platform for regional collaboration in SFM considering its notable part achievements. In line with the ASEAN "GREEN VISION" and its journey towards regional integration, AKECOP is envisaged to re-align its innovative strategies to the changing needs and challenges in the sustainable management of a healthy and productive forest ecosystems in a new world order threatened by the scourge of the COVID 19 crisis.
