BookletForest governance by indigenous and tribal peoples: An opportunity for climate action in Latin America and the Caribbean 2021
Also available in:
The document summarizes the report that, based on a review of more than 250 studies, demonstrates the importance and urgency of climate action to protect the forests of the indigenous and tribal territories of Latin America as well as the indigenous and tribal peoples who protect them. These territories contain about a third of the continent's forests. That's 14% of the carbon stored in tropical forests around the world; These territories are also home to an enormous diversity of wild fauna and flora and play a key role in stabilizing the local and regional climate. Based on an analysis of the approaches that have proven effective in recent decades, a set of investments and policies is proposed for adoption by climate funders and government decision-makers in collaboration with indigenous and tribal peoples. These measures are grouped into five main categories: i) strengthening of collective territorial rights; ii) compensate indigenous and tribal communities for the environmental services they provide; iii) facilitate community forest management; iv) revitalize traditional cultures and knowledge; and v) strengthen territorial governance and indigenous and tribal organizations. Preliminary analysis suggests that these investments could significantly reduce expected carbon emissions at a low cost, in addition to offering many other environmental and social benefits. -
ArticlePayments for environmental services integrated with the protection of biodiversity, water production and agroecology in the Paraíba Valley, in the state of São Paulo, Brazil
XV World Forestry Congress, 2-6 May 2022
2022Also available in:
No results found.Nature's contribution to society is fundamental and people who contribute to its protection should be paid for that. This encourages farmers to engage in an ongoing process to transform land use into A sustainable process. Payment for ecosystem services is strategic to reduce the rate of biodiversity loss in the Atlantic Forest, an important global biodiversity hotspot. The objective of this article is to present the Atlantic Forest Connection Project, a government project in the State of São Paulo-Brazil, which aims to promote connectivity of forest remnants through public policies and payment for environmental services integrating protection of biodiversity,water production and agroecology. The Paraíba River Valley, located in the Paraíba Sul River basin, State of São Paulo, is one of the regions that benefit from this program. The region has 2,26 thousand inhabitants and the water produced supplies the metropolitan regions: Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo. The remaining vegetation of the Atlantic Forest is very fragmented, with extensive conserved areas, which limits the activity of fauna in addition to extensive cattle raising, which occupies about 50% of the productive areas in most municipalities. The Atlantic Forest Connection Project in the Paraíba Valley has actions in three directions: 1) investigation, management and monitoring (biodiversity and carbon), 2) restoration ecology in the Paraíba river basin, 3) sustainability of areas protected by law and actions for change the landscape matrix at the expense of the economic activities of farmers in conservation buffer zones. In this last action, farmers protect and restore the forest by converting their activities to a more sustainable land use and, in this way, they are compensated. In 2019, the payments for environmental services program benefited more than 700 farmers in 13 municipalities, and these payments helped to protect and restore approximately 20,718 hectares under the Atlantic Forest Biome.

Book (stand-alone)Los pueblos indígenas y tribales y la gobernanza de los bosques. Una oportunidad para la acción climática en Latina América y el Caribe 2021
Also available in:
Basado en una revisión de más de 250 estudios, este informe demuestra la importancia y urgencia de la acción climática para proteger los bosques de los territorios indígenas y tribales de América Latina y los pueblos indígenas y tribales que los cuidan. Estos territorios contienen alrededor de un tercio de los bosques del continente. Eso es el 14% del carbono almacenado en los bosques tropicales de todo el mundo; Estos territorios también albergan una enorme diversidad de fauna y flora silvestres y juegan un papel clave en la estabilización del clima local y regional.Con base en un análisis de los enfoques que han demostrado ser efectivos en las últimas décadas, se propone un conjunto de inversiones y políticas para que las adopten los financiadores climáticos y los tomadores de decisiones gubernamentales en colaboración con los pueblos indígenas y tribales. Estas medidas se agrupan en cinco categorías principales: i) fortalecimiento de los derechos colectivos sobre la tierra; ii) compensar a las comunidades indígenas y tribales por los servicios ambientales que brindan; iii) facilitar el manejo forestal comunitario; iv) revitalizar las culturas y los conocimientos tradicionales; yv) fortalecer la gobernanza territorial y las organizaciones indígenas y tribales. Un análisis preliminar sugiere que estas inversiones podrían reducir las emisiones de carbono esperadas de manera significativa a un bajo costo, además de ofrecer muchos otros beneficios ambientales y sociales. -
