ICIBs • Bonn challenge: landscape and forest restoration • Citizens’ green initiatives in Europe • Community forest management (CFM)* • Re-naturing cities for green infrastructures • Voluntary Sustainability Standards (forest certification)
Level 1: Community-managed forests: 10% to 15% of the world’s forests (400-515 mn. Ha.)
Level 1: CFM (>1980) covers about 8 to 10% of the world’s forests (330-385 mn. Ha.)
Level 1: CFM (>1980) covers about 8 to 10% of the world’s forests (330-385 mn. Ha.) Level 3: Meta-analysis case studies
Level 1: CFM (>1980) covers about 8 to 10% of the world’s forests (330-385 mn. Ha.) Level 2: CFM / positive biodiversity impact: 115-135 mn. Ha.; MSA: +25%;
Level 1: CFM (>1980) covers about 8 to 10% of the world’s forests (330-385 mn. Ha.) Level 2: CFM / positive biodiversity impact: 115-135 mn. Ha.; MSA: +25%; Additionality: 5-6% (PAs), 18-21% (FPAs)

Some remarkable findings... • Sustainable use areas > protected areas • Nepstadt et al., 2004: inhabited reserves > national parks in Amazonia (less deforestation, less fires) • Hajes, 2006: FPAs ≈ FMAs (163 areas in 13 countries) • Porter-Bolland, 2012: CFM = less deforestation than FPAs (about (75 cases)
Conclusions • ICIBs contribute to biodiversity conservation as much as protected areas do (and maybe even more) • Hence: need for ‘land sparing’ and ‘land sharing’ • GBO and other (national) nature policy evaluations should take ICIBs into account • ‘Funnel framework’ seems a valuable tool to connect general input data with in-depth case studies
