  1. Data/info/stakeholders to collect / consult Main Streams of Life Programme: Project-specific information Dr J Marc Foggin, Plateau Perspective (Xining, Qinghai, China) UNDP/GEF MSL Programme Beijing, China 7 June 2012

  2. Who is involved / affected? What information do we need? Who has the relevant information? Data/info/stakeholders to collect / consult UNDP/GEF MSL Programme Beijing, China 7 June 2012

  3. UNDP/GEF Main Streams of LifeWetland PA System Strengthening for Biodiversity Conservation What do we need to know for formulation of the ProDoc? The case of Altai Mountains & Wetlands Introduction, discussion and finalization of project-specific information to gather DrJ Marc Foggin

  4. Main Streams of Life (MSL) Programme Goal: To strengthen management effectiveness of the PA landscape in Altai Mountains and Wetlands • Three main project components • Building systemic and institutional capacity for managing wetland ecosystems and protected areas in Xinjiang UAR • Developing the Altai Protected Area Network as a model for effective biodiversity conservation at the landscape level • Demonstration of effective wetland PA management through development of alternative livelihood programmes and community co-management in the Altai Liangheyuan Nature Reserve, working in collaboration with local nomadic (herding) Kazakh communities

  5. J Marc Foggin Conservation biologist, also community development >15 years in China, living/working in Qinghai Province and Tibet Autonomous Region Associate Professor, Qinghai Normal University Honorary Research Fellow, University of Kent International Director, Plateau Perspectives Working together | ProDoc formulation

  6. Who has come together today? SFA, UNDP, FAO, Provincial governments, and many institutions / researchers / specialists, etc. MSL Programme encompasses many provinces and sites: In Anhui Province, Hainan Province, Heilongjiang province, Hubei Province, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region , Jiangxi Province, Xinjiang Autonomous Region Working together | ProDoc formulation

  7. Sustainable Outcomes Involvement of multiple stakeholders • Multiple stakeholders = complexity • Many different areas of expertise required • Both global and local knowledge important • Much information is needed, as well as an appropriate integration of all the data and information into single coherent ProDocfor each sub-project (e.g., Altai Wetlands)

  8. What do we need to know? What information, and who to collect it? • Specialists available • Biodiversity conservation, PA planning • Socioeconomics, community co-management • Economic valuation of ecosystem services • Biodiversity health indicators (BHI) • Legal and institutional capacities • Development and sector planning • PA information and data management

  9. PPG for Xinjiang Altai sub-project Seven key activities, leading to ProDoc • Capacity review • BHI development • PA data management • KAP survey, incl. gender • PA financing needs • Profiling wetland PAs • Feasibility analysis National specialists’ areas of responsibility and leadership are largely aligned, but are not exclusively aligned, to these 7 PPG activities.

  10. Project Preparation Grant (PPG) process How do we achieve the PPG goal of ProDoc formulation? • Multiple stakeholders • Government bureaus • Individual specialists • Local communities • The key factor for project success • is open & regular communication • and collaboration / cooperation

  11. Cross-fertilization of ideas and inputs to sub-project ProDocs

  12. Sample table of specialists’ core responsibilities To be considered in conjunction with more detailed description of PPG activities (as outlined in original project document).

  13. Sample headings or categories for specialist inputs to the ProDoc based on documents, correspondence with team members, etc. Socio-economic situation, and local/regional land use 1 Threats, root causes and impacts of current situation 2 This is an example text. Go ahead and replace it 3 Barriers to the proposed solutions (as outlined in the PIF) 4 Community profiles, in target PAs and adjacent areas 5 Potential for community co-management (e.g., monitoring) * 6 Recommendations for PA financing, incl. eco-compensation 7 Profile of wetland PA sub-system at provincial/local levels Note: * Community co-management is more than ‘free labor’ by local communities, in support of nature reserve or other conservation authorities’ goals and project activities; it is a bi-directional partnership in which both conservation and development objectives of both parties are considered in depth, and solutions sought through collaborative efforts.

  14. Summary of the process of ProDoc planning & writing Writing toward common purpose Team work, collaboration Agreed roles and deliverables, and targeted writing While fact-finding and writing, always keep project goals in mind; as this will enhance project quality through collection of relevant information, and valuable recommendations. Successful formulation of the ProDoc

  15. All suggestions welcome How can we improve the collection of information/data? WHAT INFORMATION DO WE NEED? WHO HAS THE INFORMATION WE NEED? HOW CAN WE BEST COLLECT, AND PRESENT, THE INFORMATION GATHERED?

  16. Specialists available for the process What stakeholders to visit, what data to gather? 1 • Biodiversity conservation & PA planning • In Beijing • In provincial capital (Urumqi) • In prefecture & county towns (e.g., Altai) • At site level (e.g., Liangheyuan NR) • Socioeconomics, community co-management 2 • Legal and institutional capacities • Development and sector planning 3 • PA information and data management 4 5
