This document summarizes a study that explored the motivations of volunteers involved in nature conservation projects in Lincolnshire, UK. The study found that volunteers' primary motivation was interest in environmental protection. It also found that local conservation activities addressed themes of sustainable development better than local policies. The study concludes that involving volunteers in local policymaking could help inform policies with local knowledge, complementing expert knowledge and leading to more effective nature conservation policies that translate to local action.

This document summarizes research into the motivations of volunteers in local nature conservation groups in order to inform local policies and plans. It finds that volunteers have multiple motivations including social interaction and environmental stewardship that are not currently recognized in conservation policies. The research implies that local communities should be actively involved in policy-making so their motivations and local knowledge can shape more effective, accepted policies that empower communities and facilitate nature conservation.
The eBorneo Knowledge Fair has been organized every other year since 2007 by the Institute of Social Informatics and Technological Innovations at Universiti Malaysia Sarawak. It takes participants into rural Borneo communities to have discussions in their natural environment. This gives voice to marginalized communities and enables fruitful interactions. Over the years, it has led to applied research projects that have helped local communities with issues like agriculture, entrepreneurship, tourism, technology, education, health, and climate change. The upcoming event invites submissions on topics related to climate change, biodiversity, indigenous knowledge, technology, livelihoods, and community development.
REDD+ in Kolo Hills: impacts on forest governance and livelihoodsIrina Pleva
This thesis evaluates the impacts of a REDD+ pilot project on forest governance and livelihoods in Kondoa district, Tanzania. The REDD+ project was implemented from 2010-2014 by the African Wildlife Foundation around the government-owned Kolo Hills forest reserves and village land forests. The study uses a before-after-control-impact approach to compare pre-project (2010) and post-project (2015) conditions in REDD+ villages and control villages. The results show that the REDD+ project established new governance structures for forest management but had no significant impact on rural livelihoods or deforestation. Income declined substantially from 2010-2015, mainly due to a severe drought in 2014 rather than RED

Joseph Tanui: Grassroots participation in land regeneration through the Landc...World Agroforestry (ICRAF)
The document discusses the Landcare approach to grassroots participation in land regeneration. Landcare is defined as a movement, approach, body of knowledge, and ethic that enables communities to care for the land in a nurturing way. Examples of Landcare programs are given from countries like Australia, South Africa, Sri Lanka, Nigeria, Indonesia, and the South Pacific. The Landcare approach addresses challenges in African farming by ensuring participation, linking biophysical and socioeconomic factors, and enhancing the role of local governments. It utilizes multi-level action research, innovation platforms, and community-led reforms to improve land management and sustainable livelihoods.
This presentation is a compilation of four that were given on 30 November 2011 at an official UNFCCC COP17 side-event organised by CIFOR: 'How is REDD+ unfolding on the ground?'. The event discussed early insights on the capability of REDD+ projects to deliver on their goal of sequestering forest carbon while providing a range of co-benefits. The information presented draws mainly on findings of CIFOR's Global Comparative Study on REDD+, and covers the status and challenges of REDD+ projects on the ground;
challenges encountered in establishing REDD+ in Africa;
the policy and economic context in which REDD+ projects is unfolding; and
the status of monitoring, reporting and verification in setting up REDD+.
The document summarizes information from presentations given at a REDD+ conference in Durban, South Africa. It discusses the global distribution of REDD+ projects, strategies being tested by projects, issues around land tenure, and lessons learned from implementing REDD+ projects on the ground in Tanzania. Key challenges discussed include uncertainty in REDD+ policies, disconnects between REDD+ and other sectors, and ensuring benefits reach local communities.

The purpose of this research is to describe how local wisdom influencing the indigenous people behavior to sustain the forest resources, what makes local wisdom able to influencing indigenous people to sustain the forest resources and what does the indigenous people in East Kalimantan province needs in order make them continue to conserve forest resources as an effort to maximize their strategic role in sustainable forest management. Based on the research result of the data shown that local wisdom can influence the behavior of indigenous people because for them, forests are the storehouses of life, the nature damage could resulting negative consequences for the people themselves. The local wisdom form is customary law and, has forcing characteristic, which is sanctions received in case of violation, so its able to makes them behaving to conserve the forest resources. Then, the indigenous people needs fully support from various parties, especially from the local governments such as infrastructure, in order to make them keep continue to conserve the forest resources

Organizers: Lukas Giessen (University of Goettingen, Germany), Bas Arts (Wageningen University, Netherlands), Florian Kraxner (International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis, Austria) & Constance McDermott (University of Oxford, UK)
This session aims at taking stock of innovative theoretical, methodological and empirical achievements in forest governance research, from the local to the global level.
Abstract. A Model Forest is a landscape-level approach focused on people working together voluntarily in partnership towards a common vision of the human sustainable development of a large territory in which forest ecosystems play an important role. In the Ibero-American region, there are currently 29 Model Forests in 15 countries, which means that the approach is having a potential impact on the management of over 30 million hectares and on more than 6 million people. The emphasis is usually placed on environmental and economic benefits, whereas this research examines the main social and political impacts which emerge from the analysis of the reports submitted by the Model Forests to the regional network secretariat during the last decade and the data collected through interviews and monitoring activities. The study indicates that Model Forests constitute effective platforms for the application of international agreements, public policies and State programs at the local level, and that they are able to influence decision-makers through advocacy. The paper reviews the success stories of several Model Forests in this regard. Finally, even though the Model Forests process is still at its early stages, the study shows how it can drive long-term sustainability and social change in the communities.
Local participation in REDD+ programs can provide benefits but also faces challenges. A study in Indonesia investigated the conditions needed for successful local measurement, reporting, and verification (PMRV) of carbon emissions. Four key conditions were identified: activities must be relevant to local people, build on existing technical capacity, utilize reporting structures informed by other systems, and incorporate local knowledge into verification. However, PMRV also requires broader international support and institutional capacity beyond what can be addressed at the local level alone.

Constructing partnerships for sustainable tourism planning in protected areasMaria Glady
This document discusses collaboration theory and tourism practice in protected areas. It addresses three key aspects for sustainability: complexity, scale and structure of collaborations, and challenges of long-term implementation. Stakeholders in protected area tourism include public, private, non-profit sectors, scientists, industry, communities. Effective collaboration requires addressing representation of nature, integration of local and indigenous knowledge, and long-term structuring of plans. Partnerships vary in scale, from local to international, and structure, from informal to formal agreements. Implementing collaborative outcomes faces challenges like lack of institutionalization. Community-based partnerships can connect conservation and development if ensuring local ownership and long-term sustainability.
This document summarizes a study on the sustainability of community-based tourism in Sri Lanka. The study examined two communities and their attitudes towards tourism development, commitment levels, and existing capacities. It found that while communities had positive attitudes towards tourism, other factors like community capacity and commitment could affect success. Empowering communities to benefit from tourism through income generation remains a challenge. The findings suggest a need to better understand community weaknesses and external impacts in order to improve approaches to community tourism development.
Limits to Integration: lessons from experiments in the landscape approach in...CIFOR-ICRAF
The document summarizes experiments with landscape approaches and collaborative management in Kapuas Hulu Regency, Indonesia. It finds that while integration and coordination across sectors and stakeholders is ideal, full integration is difficult to achieve due to institutional fragmentation, jurisdictional issues, and stakeholders prioritizing different objectives. Local integration through village-level initiatives is more possible but not guaranteed to balance all interests. Fostering integration may require "liaisons" to facilitate connections across levels and sectors.
The document provides a summary of the professional expertise and experience of MD Shams Uddin. It outlines over 20 years of experience in natural resource management, climate change adaptation, protected area management, and livelihood development. It details his current role leading a climate resilience project at Winrock International in Bangladesh, as well as previous roles with government and non-governmental organizations. The document also lists his areas of expertise, education background, publications, training and conferences, and references.

Kinetic studies on malachite green dye adsorption from aqueous solutions by A...Open Access Research Paper
Water polluted by dyestuffs compounds is a global threat to health and the environment; accordingly, we prepared a green novel sorbent chemical and Physical system from an algae, chitosan and chitosan nanoparticle and impregnated with algae with chitosan nanocomposite for the sorption of Malachite green dye from water. The algae with chitosan nanocomposite by a simple method and used as a recyclable and effective adsorbent for the removal of malachite green dye from aqueous solutions. Algae, chitosan, chitosan nanoparticle and algae with chitosan nanocomposite were characterized using different physicochemical methods. The functional groups and chemical compounds found in algae, chitosan, chitosan algae, chitosan nanoparticle, and chitosan nanoparticle with algae were identified using FTIR, SEM, and TGADTA/DTG techniques. The optimal adsorption conditions, different dosages, pH and Temperature the amount of algae with chitosan nanocomposite were determined. At optimized conditions and the batch equilibrium studies more than 99% of the dye was removed. The adsorption process data matched well kinetics showed that the reaction order for dye varied with pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order. Furthermore, the maximum adsorption capacity of the algae with chitosan nanocomposite toward malachite green dye reached as high as 15.5mg/g, respectively. Finally, multiple times reusing of algae with chitosan nanocomposite and removing dye from a real wastewater has made it a promising and attractive option for further practical applications.
Improving the viability of probiotics by encapsulation methods for developmen...Open Access Research Paper
The popularity of functional foods among scientists and common people has been increasing day by day. Awareness and modernization make the consumer think better regarding food and nutrition. Now a day’s individual knows very well about the relation between food consumption and disease prevalence. Humans have a diversity of microbes in the gut that together form the gut microflora. Probiotics are the health-promoting live microbial cells improve host health through gut and brain connection and fighting against harmful bacteria. Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus are the two bacterial genera which are considered to be probiotic. These good bacteria are facing challenges of viability. There are so many factors such as sensitivity to heat, pH, acidity, osmotic effect, mechanical shear, chemical components, freezing and storage time as well which affects the viability of probiotics in the dairy food matrix as well as in the gut. Multiple efforts have been done in the past and ongoing in present for these beneficial microbial population stability until their destination in the gut. One of a useful technique known as microencapsulation makes the probiotic effective in the diversified conditions and maintain these microbe’s community to the optimum level for achieving targeted benefits. Dairy products are found to be an ideal vehicle for probiotic incorporation. It has been seen that the encapsulated microbial cells show higher viability than the free cells in different processing and storage conditions as well as against bile salts in the gut. They make the food functional when incorporated, without affecting the product sensory characteristics.

RoHS stands for Restriction of Hazardous Substances, which is also known as the Directive 2002/95/EC. It includes the restrictions for the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment. RoHS is a WEEE (Waste of Electrical and Electronic Equipment).
Optimizing Post Remediation Groundwater Performance with Enhanced Microbiolog...Joshua Orris
Results of geophysics and pneumatic injection pilot tests during 2003 – 2007 yielded significant positive results for injection delivery design and contaminant mass treatment, resulting in permanent shut-down of an existing groundwater Pump & Treat system.
Accessible source areas were subsequently removed (2011) by soil excavation and treated with the placement of Emulsified Vegetable Oil EVO and zero-valent iron ZVI to accelerate treatment of impacted groundwater in overburden and weathered fractured bedrock. Post pilot test and post remediation groundwater monitoring has included analyses of CVOCs, organic fatty acids, dissolved gases and QuantArray® -Chlor to quantify key microorganisms (e.g., Dehalococcoides, Dehalobacter, etc.) and functional genes (e.g., vinyl chloride reductase, methane monooxygenase, etc.) to assess potential for reductive dechlorination and aerobic cometabolism of CVOCs.
In 2022, the first commercial application of MetaArray™ was performed at the site. MetaArray™ utilizes statistical analysis, such as principal component analysis and multivariate analysis to provide evidence that reductive dechlorination is active or even that it is slowing. This creates actionable data allowing users to save money by making important site management decisions earlier.
The results of the MetaArray™ analysis’ support vector machine (SVM) identified groundwater monitoring wells with a 80% confidence that were characterized as either Limited for Reductive Decholorination or had a High Reductive Reduction Dechlorination potential. The results of MetaArray™ will be used to further optimize the site’s post remediation monitoring program for monitored natural attenuation.
Evolving Lifecycles with High Resolution Site Characterization (HRSC) and 3-D...Joshua Orris
The incorporation of a 3DCSM and completion of HRSC provided a tool for enhanced, data-driven, decisions to support a change in remediation closure strategies. Currently, an approved pilot study has been obtained to shut-down the remediation systems (ISCO, P&T) and conduct a hydraulic study under non-pumping conditions. A separate micro-biological bench scale treatability study was competed that yielded positive results for an emerging innovative technology. As a result, a field pilot study has commenced with results expected in nine-twelve months. With the results of the hydraulic study, field pilot studies and an updated risk assessment leading site monitoring optimization cost lifecycle savings upwards of $15MM towards an alternatively evolved best available technology remediation closure strategy.

9. Results
Combined photovoice and
walking interviews
Communities still use local knowledge to manage
natural resources
External knowledges’ shared for helping communities
are local practices that have been already existed for
decades, e.g., manure practice
Participants see external actors as having knowledge that can help
them facing current challenges because the "they know better."
At village and household level, NRM decision
are mainly taken by headman and males
Focus group
discussion
Communities recall local
knowledge was the main
knowledge to manage the
landscape in the past
Communities foresee less available
land and the disappearance of local
knowledge in the future
10. Discussion
Local communities are hybridizing knowledge systems, while challenging and
negotiating new environmental and social realities
The loss of local knowledge may be overlooked during the integration
and collaboration process
The importance of considering how local knowledge is integrated into landscape
management fits into the broader debate on decolonising knowledge
11. Conclusion
Better understand the role of locally-embedded knowledge and which local
practices contribute to sustainable natural resource management
More effective collaboration partnerships should be developed amongst
community, government, and NGOs in the area
Development of evidence-based policy that incorporates local knowledge and ensures
local voices are properly integrated within decision-making processes
ILA can only provide a fertile ground for developing more equitable, ethical, and
collaborative processes, if addressing issues of ethics and power imbalances.

Good morning/afternoon! Thanks for inviting me. Today I am going to present part of my PhD research………..
And that’s what is trying to address COLANDS, the project I am part of. Colands is an initiative that is trying to operationalised ILA in three different countries with local partners. Looking at the MSPs, power dynamics and the politics of knowledge.
For today’s ppt, I decided to share with you the results of one of the activities I’ve been conducting in the field across the three communities. The main RQ I wanted to answer focus on what local practices are still in use in Kalomo by the Tonga communities in the area. How? We conducted combined….
