Book (stand-alone)Mainstreaming Ecosystem Services and Biodiversity into Agricultural Production and Management in East Africa 2016
Also available in:
No results found.This Technical Guidance Document addresses the need for mainstreaming biodiversity and ecosystem services into agriculture, at the national level. More specifically, it is aimed to assist countries in developing and implementing their National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plans (NBSA Ps), to consider ecosystem services – and opportunities for their management – in agricultural production systems. Through an EU -funded project on “Capacity-building related to multilateral agreements (MEA s) i n AC P countries (Phase 2)”, this document focuses on the East Africa region, and provides concrete examples and cases primarily from Kenya. The intention is that this document provides practical guidance to countries for building institutional capacity for synergistic implementation of MEA s, and identifying opportunities for managing biodiversity and ecosystem services to reduce the use of chemical inputs. It considers issues at the technical, institutional and policy levels. This publication is a result of technical papers prepared by experts on specific topics related to biodiversity and ecosystem services in agriculture but also on social and cross-cutting dimensions such as indigenous and traditional knowledge. -
Book (stand-alone)Mainstreaming Ecosystem Services and Biodiversity into Agricultural Production and Management in the Pacific Islands
Technical guidance document
2016Also available in:
No results found.This guidance document will be produced to assist countries in finding synergies between two important realms of international agreements: sound chemicals management and biodiversity conservation and sustainable use. We suggest that it can be used as countries are revising any of their strategies or policies related to these two realms, but in particular is oriented toward country revision, or to assist implementation, of their National Biodiversity Strategies and Action Plans (NBSAPs), to help them attain a number of relevant Aichi Targets. It is intended to indicate where important synergies can be harvested, but is not meant to be prescriptive. The document will draw upon work that has been carried out, with similar scope, in Kenya and other countries of the East African Community. It targets specifically the context and national policy processes of Pacific island countries where commercial and semi-commercial agriculture represents a significant activity and the excessive use of ag rochemicals is source of concern, looking specifically at Fiji, Samoa and Cook Islands as case studies. -
Book (series)Terminal evaluation of the project “Mainstreaming conservation and valuation of critically endangered species and ecosystems in development-frontier production landscapes in the regions of Arica y Parinacota and Biobío”
Project code: GCP/CHI/033/GFF - GEF ID: 5429
2023Also available in:
The project "Mainstreaming conservation and valuation of critically endangered species and ecosystems in development-frontier production landscapes in the regions of Arica y Parinacota and Bibío", executed between 2016 and 2022, aimed to incorporate conservation criteria for four critically endangered species into the management of the main development-frontier production landscapes of the Arica and Parinacota and Biobío regions. The evaluation results highlight the project's high relevance to the Government of Chile by aligning with national environmental priorities. In addition to promoting the development of public policy instruments focused on the knowledge and protection of the Arica hummingbird, Darwin's fox, the huemul, and the queule (strategies, plans, ordinances, monitoring protocols, and educational material), the project made significant efforts in training and raising awareness about the importance of biodiversity among government officials, farmers and the school population. The efforts in implementing good agrosilvopastoral practices on pilot farms are also noteworthy.
