  8. From Durban to Sydney : Sustainable financing Different funding mechanisms implemented Madagascar Other complementary mechanisms are also currently implemented by numerous PA managers in order to alleviate proverty around PAs leading to threats reduction thus implying costs reduction : algae cultivation, organic spices, community-based tourism, civil-private tourism ventures, community-private reforestation joint ventures,...

  9. From Durban to Sydney : Main barriers Encountered issues during Durban implementation • Clear roadmap (x3) but weak coordination means (SAPM) • Uncomplete legal framework (new categories management) • Approaches discordances amongst stakeholders/managers • Lack of experienced managers for all PA and PA categories • Laws incoherence amongst sectors (land, extractive, forests) • Low interactions between concerned sectors • On-going decentralization process (authority confusion) Madagascar • Risky co-management strategy regarding country situation : low state governance, associations capacity, leadership • Insufficient funds for strategy implementation in such context • Global economic crisis (lower funds invested, lower interests) • National crisis (security, tourism, law enforcement, donors) • Weak state governance -> Civil disobedience • Weak law enforcement -> increase in poaching (tortoises, lemurs, corals), logging (rosewood affair) and deforestation

  10. From Durban to Sydney : Implemented levers Durban Vision SAPM creation Legal framework: - 6 IUCN PA categories recognized - PA law (COAP) - Decree on funds - Inter-ministerial Decrees - Institutional framework: - Environmental Plan - EIA facilitation for PA creation - Land tenure adapted framework - Inter-ministerial comittees - PA orientation committees Madagascar Tools elaboration : - PAs gap analysis (marxan,zonation) - Co-management options shared - Management indicators developped Sustainable financing: - Madagascar Biodiversity Fund (FAPBM) - PA entrance fees - Management efficiency: - PA METT harmonization - SAPM monitoring - Threats monitoring system PA coverage tripled

  11. From Durban to Sydney : Future challenges Main challenges for the future • Stop illegal biodiversity trade (rosewood etc...) • State strategy : Extractive industries • State governance : law enforcement • Sectorial legislation harmonization Madagascar • Delegation arrangements for NPAs • PA management performance monitoring by SAPM • PA managers capacity-building (professional training) • Decentralization and co-management (Dina) • Sustainable funding • Poverty alleviation around PA • Climate change risk and adaptation strategies
