4 Objectives of SDM facilitate activities in line with the IPSI Strategy and Plan of Action by providing seed funding a to promising projects that demonstrate good practices a. The amount of the funding is approximately 10,000USD Promote the development of model practices for living in harmony with nature through sustainable use of SEPLS and contribution to the Aichi Biodiversity Targets Promote the implementation of activities under the IPSI Strategy and Plan of Action per organisation Provide an incentive for IPSI members to strengthen partnerships and to generate a knock-on effect from joint activities for the sustainable use of SEPLS 4 4

5 Sub-granted Project Types Community/field -based project implementation 1 2 Research activities Activities to kick-start cooperation among IPSI members, such as holding meetings, workshops, and conferences 3 4 Activities for building capacity and increasing awareness on IPSI, such as production of educational materials, and dissemination and outreach activities 5 5

11 <FY2013-1> Supporting and Promoting the Karen Indigenous Socioecological Production System in Northern Thailand (IKAP, Thailand) The Karen people s sustainable land use systems (esp. rotational farming) and wildlife/plant habitats secured against displacement by commercial corn plantation using GIS mapping of land use systems based on ILK A model of Karen s rotational farming and sustainable livelihood systems consolidated and to be taken up in the governmental sub-district and district plans.

13 <FY2013-4> Converting Pests into Allies in Tea Farming a potential case of Satoyama landscape in Hualien, Taiwan (SWAN International, Taiwan) Identified an eco-friendly (EF) tea production system where small green leafhopper (SGL) populations kept and SGL-fed tea leaves made into high-price honey-flavored black tea. Scientifically demonstrated biodiversity and socio-economic benefits of the EF tea production system: EF tea farms had higher biodiversity than conventional tea farms EF practices brought higher revenue with increased employment Biodiversity survey (beating methods to collect insects on tea trees) SWAN International SWAN International Socio-economic survey (Interviewing tea farmers and the Director of Farmers Association) 13 13

14 Good practices identified in: Integration of traditional and modern knowledge systems: GIS mapping of traditional knowledge/practices enhanced the external recognition of indigenous communities land tenure and uses LBSAP development process: bottom-up, multistakeholder and threat-focused Locally sound conservation flagships: Unveiling and capturing potential economic value of native tree species Policy uptake: Tangible results of an on-the-ground project led to policy uptake and scaling-up Scientific validation of sustainability : Biodiversity benefits of SEPLS verified by scientific data Protected areas: Introduction of SEPLS management concept to managing protected areas 14 14
