Refining Conservation Outcomes in the Southwest China hotspot2004,4-2006,9 Conservation International China Program
Effective Policy & Action IBA GAA Outcome Monitoring Through (SW China Eco-partners) Harvard University Peking University CCICED /IOZ.CAS Yunnan Forest Department CI China CIB.CAS WWF Sichuan University Sichuan Forest Academy SouthWest Forestry University TNC PA …… Refine conservation outcomes (2004/4 – 2006/9) Define Conservation Outcomes
Events in KBA defining process • 2004.4 – 2004.12: Develop contracts with key partners for KBA data resource. (Sichuan Forest Academic, Harvard University, etc) , and reference study. • 2004.10: Workshop I,introduce KBA and Outcome Mapping and Monitoring project to partners, and done the information survey. • 2005.5: Workshop II,present the first cut of KBA to partners, collecting comments; Build up Eco-partners; Identify indicators for Outcome Monitoring, refine KBA after workshop. • 2006.9: Policy promotion,present KBA results and proposed conservation actions to major stakeholders (State Forest Administration, State Environment Protection Administration.)
Species Outcomes * : EW = 1
KBA defined mainly based on threaten species and nature reserves
Corridor between two Panda habitat Corridor for Yunnan Golden Monkey Corridor
Main challenges 1: Information GAP need to be filled for better defining KBA < 4000M > 4000M
Major Achievements: Eco-partners in SW China Main challenge 2: Need lots of resource to maintain • 37 persons signed the Data Sharing Protocols, As individual or represent their institute • First time in this region to show the strong will of Sharing data. • First time to identify indicators to measure success in China. “This is a real good beginning for all of us to measure whether our efforts in conservation in Southwest China are effective ” Reported by “China Daily” 04/22/2005 page13
China Blueprint TNC/SEPA/GEF Next step • TNC “Blue Print” • Using KBA methods • Workshop for standard monitoring methodology • Survey and integrate more information on freshwater (watershed), and plants • Work towards identification of Landscape level targets (watershed) • Biodiversity Survey in Southeast Tibet • Filling Information GAP; • Establish monitoring in nature reserve and local community; • Enhance Eco-Partners; • Appling RAP approach; • Refine KBAs and conservation plans.
