  • Annex 2: Action Plan for the Dynamic Conservation of the Oldonyoyokie
    ACTION PLAN FOR THE DYNAMIC CONSERVATION OF ENGARESERO VILLAGE AS A GLOBALLY IMPORTANT AGRICULTURAL HERITAGE SYSTEM (GIAHS) AREA Project background The Globally Important Agricultural Heritage Systems initiative was launched by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) in 2002 with the aim of establishing the basis for the global recognition, conservation and adaptive management of outstanding traditional agricultural systems and their associated landscapes, biodiversity, knowledge systems and cultures. The initiative aims to “protect and encourage customary use of biological resources in accordance with traditional cultural practices that are compatible with conservation or sustainable use requirements” [cf. CBD: Article10(c)], specifically within agricultural systems. In many of these systems, the prosperity of nature and the poverty of people unfortunately coexist. Therefore, the initiative does not intend to freeze systems in time, but rather calls for their “dynamic conservation”, emphasizing a balance between conservation, adaptation and socio-economic development. It aims to empower smallholder farmers/pastoralists, traditional communities and indigenous peoples to maintain their traditional agricultural systems and to create an economic stake in the conservation of (agricultural) biodiversity so that nature and people can prosper together. Within this context, the Federal Republic of Germany through the Federal Ministry of Food, agriculture and Consumer Protection (BMELV) and the German Technical Cooperation (GTZ) approved the current effort to establish sites in Kenya and Tanzania and to support the food security and reduce poverty of the local communities in GIAHS areas. In Tanzania, the Maasai Pastoral System was identified as one of the country’s best examples of a resilient system deserving of support in line with the GIAHS objectives.
