III. Activities Performed
A. Program Deliverables
1. Strengthen EE&C Competencies of Protected Area (PA) Management Staff within the Nicaraguan Ministry of the Environment and Natural Resources (MARENA). a. Training Workshops and Practicum
The Media Outreach and Public-Private Partnership Workshops anticipated in the original workplan were canceled at the end of Year 1. In place of these workshops, GreenCOM Communications Strategist Jose Ignacio Mata prepared a detailed communications strategy for USAID/Nicaragua. b. Materials Development
i. Informational Brochure
GreenCOM produced a three-fold informational brochure outlining the objectives and capabilities of the Project. This brochure was intended to increase the visibility of the Project among MARENA staff, local environmental organizations, the international donor community, and the Nicaraguan public. The GreenCOM Administrative Assistant Carlos Ruiz designed this brochure in- house, applying graphic design skills acquired during the first materials development workshop sponsored by the Project. He created the layout for the GreenCOM brochure, letterhead, and business cards using the computer equipment and software made available to all workshop participants throughout the life of the Project.
ii. Presentations
GreenCOM produced a banner and exhibit materials on Project activities and EE&C topics for use in training workshops, conferences, and MARENA events. The portable display panels purchased by GreenCOM for mounting these exhibits were turned over to MARENA when the field office closed. Exhibits were prepared for numerous local events including the MARENA ceremony marking the end of the closed season for sea turtle egg collection and for USAID/Nicaragua's celebration of World Environment Day.
iii. Park Guard Training Manual
GreenCOM provided guided instruction to MARENA staff in developing a draft Park Guard Training Manual to be used by MARENA in preparing staff for on- site management of Protected Areas. The manual also will serve as a reference guide for park guards already working for the Ministry. GreenCOM and MARENA counterparts compiled information from local, regional, and international sources and adapted the material to the Nicaraguan context. The manual covers environmental science, management, and interpretation topics as well as the specific responsibilities of park guards in the National Protected Area System (SINAP). GreenCOM conducted a validation workshop on the first section of the manual with park guards and supervisors in May 1998. A revised draft of the full document was submitted to the Directorate of Protected Areas in October 1998 for final validation and printing.
c. On-the-Job Training of Counterpart Staff
The GreenCOM/Nicaragua Project Manager provided intensive on-the-job training and mentoring for Ana Julia Silva Gomez, the MARENA staff member assigned to work with GreenCOM throughout the life of the project. Ms. Silva received guidance in the development of EE&C strategies, training activities, and materials. Ms. Silva also assisted trainers in presenting workshop sessions and played an integral role in creating a training manual for MARENA park guards.
Ms. Silva was also selected to participate in the environmental interpretation study tour of the Northwest United States and El Salvador coordinated with the Nicaragua Development Training Project and the University of Idaho (See below). During the follow-on phase of this activity, which was managed by GreenCOM, Ms. Silva served as one of the principal liaisons among the tour participants, the self-named Grupo Pinolero, and the Project.
Since the completion of the Project, Ms. Silva has continued working with the Protected Areas Unit of MARENA. She has assumed responsibility for coordination of special activities and reports to the national Director of Protected Areas.
2. Develop, Implement, and Evaluate Buffer Zone EE&C Strategies,
a. Research Studies
i. La Flor Formative Research Study
A formative research study was completed in the La Flor buffer zone communities to assess residents' attitudes and understanding of sea turtle conservation and the use of sea turtle eggs. Data were collected between February and April 1997, and interpreted by the Asociacion Cultural Nixtoyolero with substantial input and oversight by the local Project Manager and the GreenCOM/Washington Research Director. The findings showed that residents possessed little knowledge of the life span and reproductive age of sea turtles; they reported collecting eggs during the closed season and selling them illegally; and they did not feel that their actions had any impact on sea turtle populations. In August 1997, the Asociacion Cultural Nixtoyolero relayed these findings to residents of the buffer zone communities through a theatrical presentation. ii. La Flor Quantitative Impact Evaluation
The quantitative impact evaluation of EE&C materials in the La Flor buffer zone communities as well as the production of these materials were canceled due to changes in personnel and MARENA management objectives. b. Training Workshops and Practicum
GreenCOM's first workshop series focused on strengthening environmental communication capabilities in buffer zone communities. Integrated teams of MARENA, NGO, and community representatives worked together during two workshops and the subsequent practicum periods to: define a priority environmental problem specific to their protected area; identify the primary audience for the communication intervention; and develop targeted messages and materials specifically for that audience. At the end of the workshop series, each group had designed a tangible communication product that was ready or nearly ready for production. (See Annex A for a complete list of all GreenCOM/Nicaragua hosted training activities).
i. Buffer Zone EE&C Strategy and Message Development Workshop
Trainers Sam Ham and Stephen Cornelius worked with the GreenCOM Project Manager to plan and deliver a week-long training workshop on developing EE&C strategies and messages for buffer zone communities (See Annex B for a complete list of consultants used over the life-of-project). The activity was designed to build group decision-making, community mobilization, and problem-solving skills to enable participants to identify priority environmental problems, develop participatory strategies, and plan an effective environmental communications intervention. All GreenCOM training activities were evaluated by the participants using a five-point scale, 5 signifying the highest level of satisfaction. The Buffer Zone EE&C Strategy and Message Development workshop received an average overall rating of 4.3.
A guided practicum of one month allowed each group to apply their skills in community participation in the buffer zones. During this process, the participants validated their ideas in their respective communities and continued to develop strategies and messages for potential EE&C campaigns.
ii. Buffer Zone EE&C Materials Development
The second workshop in the series built on the technical knowledge imparted during the first by enabling participants to produce materials for implementing EE&C strategies. Trainers Maria Claudia de Valdenebro and Juan Carlos Cordovez conducted sessions on selecting the appropriate medium for communicating messages to specific audiences; using graphic design techniques for creating effective communication; and producing print materials. On the five- point evaluation scale, the Buffer Zone EE&C Materials Development workshop received an average score of 4.5 for overall participant satisfaction.
c. Materials Development
i. La Flor Sea Turtle Egg Protected Season (Veda) Poster
GreenCOM Project staff designed a poster announcing the closed season on sea turtle egg collection for use in buffer zone communities of the La Flor and Rio Escalante-Chacocente Wildlife Refuges. GreenCOM delivered 5,000 copies to the Directorate of Protected Areas at MARENA for distribution during the 1998 nesting season.
ii. La Flor Sea Turtle Awareness Poster
GreenCOM designed a poster to promote awareness of Olive Ridley sea turtle nesting within the La Flor Wildlife Refuge. Plans to produce and distribute the poster were abandoned due to Mission concerns with the landowner's commitment to protecting the Refuge from development. The final artwork for the poster was presented to USAID/Nicaragua on a MAC-formatted Zip Disk should production become viable at a later date.
iii. Sea Turtle Education Booklet
Due to the concerns with the La Flor Wildlife Refuge mentioned above and the departure of the GreenCOM/Nicaragua Project Manager, production of the Lupita Sea Turtle Booklet for use in the buffer zone communities was canceled.
3. Develop, Implement, and Evaluate PA Environmental Interpretation and Education Strategies.
a. Research Studies
i. Volcan Masaya National Park Visitor Profile
GreenCOM contracted the University of Idaho and local data collector Nadya Rodriguez to implement a one-year study of visitors to the Volcan Masaya National Park (PNVM). Ms. Rodriguez collected both quantitative and qualitative data through surveys, interviews, and focus groups conducted on site from July 1997 to May 1998. Data were compiled on both visitor characteristics and visitor satisfaction with interpretive services within the protected area. The monthly and annual data sets were analyzed by Dr. Sam Ham and Robert Whipple of the University of Idaho. Following completion of the data collection and analysis phases, a final report was prepared including recommendations for improving interpretive services. This study established a baseline for monitoring changes in tourism at the Park and for evaluating the impact of subsequent improvements in interpretive services. Dr. Ham made a formal presentation of the preliminary results to representatives of USAID/Nicaragua, MARENA, PNVM, local universities, and the tourism sector in Managua in July 1998. Interviews with Dr. Ham were broadcast on local radio stations and television channel 2 following his presentation. The final report of the study was produced in English and Spanish, and submitted to USAID/Nicaragua in November 1998. b. Training Workshops and Practicum
The second GreenCOM workshop series focused on strengthening environmental communication capabilities within protected areas by training participants representating MARENA, environmental NGOs, and the tourism sector. As in the first series, integrated teams identified specific environmental issues affecting their respective protected areas and worked to develop environmental communication and interpretation activities to address them.
i. Protected Area EE&C Strategy and Message Development
The first workshop in the series focused on environmental interpretation, thematic communication, and interpretive planning during July 1997. Dr. Sam Ham served as the lead trainer with support from two GreenCOM-trained interpretive specialists from El Salvador, Cristobal Ladino and Leticia Escalante. Sessions were also conducted by Dr. Tim Merriman of the National Association for Interpretation (U.S.A.) and Dr. Peter Frenzen of the Mount St. Helens National Volcanic Monument. This workshop was followed by a three-month practicum period, when each team developed an interpretive plan for their respective protected areas. During this period, GreenCOM staff conducted field visits to the five priority work groups to assess their progress and assist them with their plans.
ii. Protected Area EE&C Materials Development
During the second workshop, trainers Dr. Sam Ham and Natalia Zamora worked with the participants to create environmental communication and interpretation materials for implementing their respective plans. The teams worked with both computer-assisted and manual graphic design techniques and learned about the cycle of production, from conceptualization to printing. Local printshop owner Enrique Cordero conducted a session on preparing print specifications and how to limit production costs. At the end of this workshop, each team had designed a potential communication product to use in implementing its interpretive plan.
iii. Forum of Environmental Communication
On July 24, 1997, GreenCOM hosted the Forum of Environmental Communication and Its Importance for Conservation in Nicaragua to raise awareness of the applications of environmental communication and establish links with the tourism sector. Dr. Sam Ham gave the keynote address highlighting the benefits of environmental communication, from protected area management to increased economic activity through ecotourism. The forum also included presentations by the Minister of the Environment, the Minister of Tourism, the U.S. Ambassador to Nicaragua, the Executive Director of the National Association for Interpretation (U.S.A.), and the Chief Scientist for the Mount St. Helens National Volcanic Monument. The forum was attended by more than 150 guests including representatives of the tourism industry, MARENA, and the media.
iv. Environmental Interpretation Study Tour
In addition to project activities anticipated in the two-year workplan, an environmental interpretation study tour to protected areas in the Northwest United States and El Salvador was organized jointly with the Development Training Project (DTP) also implemented by the Academy for Educational Development. GreenCOM, DTP, and USAID/Nicaragua staff reviewed applications from over 25 candidates and selected a final team of eleven Nicaraguan interpreters. The tour was managed by the University of Idaho under a sub-contract with DTP. During the program, the participants created an informal network of Nicaraguan interpreters, the Grupo Pinolero. GreenCOM organized a follow-up workshop with Dr. Sam Ham in Managua in July 1998 to assist the Pinolero team with implementation of their interpretive plan for the Volcan Mombacho Natural Reserve. c. Materials Development
i. SINAP Promotional Series
GreenCOM designed and produced a series of promotional materials highlighting eight priority protected areas in the Pacific and Central regions of the country. Working in collaboration with representatives of USAID/Nicaragua, MARENA, and environmental NGOs, GreenCOM drafted text, designed maps, and selected photographs to use in posters, brochures, and a tourist guide. GreenCOM contracted and supervised printing of 5,000 tourist guides, 24,000 posters, and 40,000 brochures. GreenCOM also worked with USAID/Nicaragua Project Officer Jerry Bauer to produce an accurate map of the protected areas in the national system. Distribution of these materials began in late August 1998 according to a distribution strategy developed by GreenCOM, USAID/Nicaragua, and MARENA. GreenCOM completed distribution of these materials to universities and NGOs prior to closing the field office in October 1998. Responsibility for distributing materials to all other institutions was assumed by MARENA and USAID/Nicaragua during the development of the dissemination plan. (See Annex C).
ii. SINAP Stamp Series
In early summer 1998, GreenCOM designed a series often postage stamps dedicated to SINAP for Correos de Nicaragua, using the same images from the promotional materials mentioned above. GreenCOM and USAID/Nicaragua broadened this collaboration with Correos de Nicaragua, initiated in early 1998, by brokering an agreement to contribute a percentage of the proceeds from the sale of the philatelic sheet to Fundacion Cocibolca, a local environmental NGO. GreenCOM delivered camera-ready artwork to Correos de Nicaragua for production in June 1998. The series was issued on August 20,1998, and consisted of 900,000 stamps and 50,000 philatelic sheets. Correos de Nicaragua also produced first-day issue envelopes and postcards using images from the series. The first day issue of the series was set to coincide with the release of the promotional materials in late August and the initial stamp cancellation took place as part of a joint ceremony. In an attempt to establish a sustainable revenue stream for Fundacion Cocibolca, GreenCOM brokered an agreement with Correos de Nicaragua to issue subsequent stamp series over the next three years with a portion of the proceeds going to Fundacion Cocibolca.
A subsequent press event announcing the agreement between Fundacion Cocibolca and Correos de Nicaragua was postponed indefinitely in the aftermath of Hurricane Mitch. Nonetheless, GreenCOM did proceed with the production of promotional materials announcing the first stamp series resulting from this collaboration. In January 1999, GreenCOM delivered 400 posters to USAID/Nicaragua for distribution to postal outlets throughout Nicaragua. GreenCOM also produced a companion brochure outlining the details of the agreement between Fundacion Cocibolca and Correos de Nicaragua to promote sales of the philatelic sheet and encourage similar support for conservation efforts with other public and private institutions. iii. SINAP Materials Release Event
In August 1998, GreenCOM hosted an event celebrating the release of the SINAP
8 promotional materials, the first day issue of the SINAP stamp series, and an exposition of photographs of Nicaraguan protected areas. The release ceremony was hosted by GreenCOM on August 20 at the National Palace of Culture and was attended by Nicaraguan President Amoldo Aleman, U.S. Ambassador Lino Gutierrez, and nearly 350 guests. In addition to the presentation of these materials, the event also served as the official inauguration of a rotating exhibit of photographs from Nicaraguan protected areas prepared by USAID/Nicaragua Environment Officer Jerry Bauer that will be on display throughout the country in the coming year. A companion brochure explaining the purpose of the exhibit was produced by GreenCOM's Administrative Assistant, Carlos Ruiz. Finally, the program also included the cancellation of the postage stamp series dedicated to the national protected area system designed by GreenCOM for the Nicaragua postal service.
Following this event, GreenCOM scheduled rotations of the photography exhibit with universities and museums across Nicaragua. Responsibility for the exhibit was handed over to MARENA after the project office closed in October 1998.
iv. Volcan Mombacho Natural Reserve Interpretive Trail
Beginning in late 1998, GreenCOM provided technical, logistical, and financial support to the Grupo Pinolero to develop an interpretive trail in the Volcan Mombacho Natural Reserve. During the environmental interpretation study tour in the United States and El Salvador, the group prepared an initial plan for the trail and a timeline for developing a technical proposal. GreenCOM scheduled a follow-up workshop with Dr. Sam Ham to review the draft proposal that the group developed in regular meetings following their return to Nicaragua. GreenCOM staff also provided technical feedback on the draft plan and logistical support to facilitate site visits to the Reserve.
In September 1998, the Grupo Pinolero presented a written proposal to GreenCOM and Fundacion Cocibolca for their support. After meetings with USAID/Nicaragua, Fundacion Cocibolca, and the Pinolero group, GreenCOM redirected funds from the canceled media/private sector workshop series to pay for the elaboration and installation of the signage in the Reserve, as requested in the Grupo Pinolero proposal. To facilitate financial transactions and logistics, GreenCOM contracted Fundacion Cocibolca to manage the disbursement of funds and oversee implementation of the Pinolero activity.
Although physical improvements to the trail were delayed due to Hurricane Mitch, the signage was completed and installed in January 1999, prior to Project close-out. An inauguration event was hosted by Fundacion Cocibolca on February 25,1999. Nicaraguan President Arnoldo Aleman, U.S. Ambassador Lino Gutierrez, and Minister of the Environment and Natural Resources Roberto Stadthagen all gave remarks during the ceremony and joined in the inaugural tour of the trail.
vi. Practical Training Guide for EE&C Courses
Due to shifting priorities at MARENA and staffing changes within the Protected Areas Division, the Practical Training Guide for EE&C Courses was not produced as anticipated in the initial GreenCOM/Nicaragua workplan, as mutually agreed by USAID/Nicaragua and GreenCOM. Funds set aside for this guide were reallocated to other project activities, including the SINAP materials release event and the production of promotional materials for the SINAP stamp series. In place of this guide, GreenCOM produced a compendium of EE&C training materials to assist in replicating future capacity building activities. The compendium was submitted to USAID/Nicaragua in January 1999.
vii. La Flor Sea Turtle Awareness Mural
In September 1998, GreenCOM worked with local artists to design and paint an interpretive mural on the sea turtle life cycle. The mural was created with the assistance of biologist Cynthia Laguieux and provides visitors to the La Flor Wildlife Refuge with accurate information on the arribada (mass landing) phenomenon and on how to protect sea turtle habitat.
IV. Lessons Learned
• Completion of project activities in Nicaragua required circumventing numerous obstacles caused by complex political divisions within and among government agencies, frequent personnel changes (i.e. brain drain as a result of the extended civil conflict, recent MARENA staffing cuts), and the absence of environmental leadership from the government and NGOs. In particular, the counterpart's (MARENA) failure to provide staff as agreed presented additional difficulties for implementing project activities as scheduled. By not honoring it's commitment to support the project, MARENA jeopardized or delayed several anticipated outputs and activities including the Park Guard Training Manual.
• One of the project highlights observed by GreenCOM was the exchange of experiences and expertise between the Grupo Pinolero and their professional counterparts in El Salvador, the Grupo Compacto. Not only did this meeting foster intra-regional linkages between field practitioners, but it also raised the Grupo Pinolero's expectation of themselves by introducing them to the outstanding interpretive trails and materials designed by the Salvadoran group who received the same training only a few years
10 earlier.
GreenCOM's investment in the Grupo Pinolero yielded returns that far exceeded original expectations. The group members applied the foundation of technical knowledge acquired during the study tour of the U.S. and El Salvador to the challenge of creating an interpretive trail in the Volcan Mombacho Natural Reserve. Over the course of this exercise, GreenCOM realized that treating the group as a team of trained professionals, establishing high expectations for their work, and providing seed money for materials and services served as sufficient incentive for the group to meet and surpass the initial goal. The successful completion of the interpretive trail in the aftermath of Hurricane Mitch gives further testimony to the determination, professionalism, and responsibility exhibited by the Grupo Pinolero.
In hindsight, the initial decision made by USAID/Nicaragua (in the Scope of Work of the GreenCOM Delivery Order) that a long-term staff person based in Managua should be a local-hire (junior-mid-career) Project Manager rather than the customary expatriate, senior-level EE&C Resident Advisor should be revisited. This decision, although justified at the time due to the availability of funds, hampered certain project initiatives and resulted in less impact than originally anticipated. In particular, the more junior staff proved less skilled at dealing with senior counterparts at MARENA, perhaps one of the Government of Nicaragua's weakest institutions. As a result, certain project activities were either indefinitely delayed or forced to be canceled outright. We feel that a highly accomplished practitioner with more years of experience would have been better suited to address these institutional challenges, have been viewed as a more credible technical leader, and engendered greater confidence among local staff, counterparts, trainees, etc.
Limitations in the capabilities of local printers forced GreenCOM to produce many project materials in the United States to obtain the desired quality in the final product. Nonetheless, GreenCOM strongly supports working with local vendors wherever possible and applauds USAID/Nicaragua's work with local printers on other products, such as EMCOR's production of the SINAP map. These forward-looking efforts encourage higher standards of service and improving future production quality.
Recommendations to USAID/Nicaragua for Continued Assistance to Protected Area EE&C Development
USAID/Nicaragua should reevaluate its commitment to institutional strengthening activities for MARENA given the shifting commitment, focus and priorities of the Ministry and the high rate of turnover among principal staff members.
US AID should continue to provide seed money for activities of the Grupo Pinolero for work in other protected areas.
11 US AID/Nicaragua should continue to monitor and foster the relationship between Fundacion Cocibolca and Correos de Nicaragua to reinforce this sustainable revenue source for conservation efforts to ensure that the remaining two years of the agreement are honored and carried out.
Given the time and resources needed for infrastructure improvements to take place, US AID/Nicaragua should limit the number of protected areas targeted for environmental interpretation and communication materials development to ensure high-quality and timely results.
Based on the successes of Fundacion Cocibolca, US AID/Nicaragua should work with other NGOs to build or strengthen their capacities in environmental interpretation, co- management and environmental communication.
Due to a lack of experienced EE&C practitioners in-country, US AID/Nicaragua should contract senior-level U.S. and expatriate specialists to build individual and institutional capabilities, increase awareness of the benefits of EE&C activities, and motivate participation from all sectors.
US AID/Nicaragua should promote intra-regional exchanges of EE&C practitioners, such as the Grupo Pinolero and Grupo Compacto-El Salvador, to encourage the sharing of experiences and the establishment of professional networks.
Due to the lack of local capacity to perform complex quantitative and qualitative EE&C research studies, US AID/Nicaragua should contract U.S. and expatriate firms to oversee such research activities. However, in all cases, local counterparts should be directly involved in these activities to build Nicaraguan capacity for managing future research interventions.
Subsequent EE&C promotional materials for other priority protected areas selected by USAJD/Nicaragua should follow the same design template established for the original SINAP promotional series for the purposes of continuity and "brand" recognition.
