Annual Report 2018 4 Critical Ecosystem Partnership Fund MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRPERSON

PARTNERING FOR STRONGER CONSERVATION LEADERSHIP Civil society organizations in the biodiversity hotspots are the heart of the CEPF model of conservation. CEPF supports them to both deliver biodiversity conservation and strengthen their organizations, as they represent the future of healthy biodiversity, ecosystems and communities in their regions.

Julia Marton-Lefèvre, CEPF Donor Council Chairperson The way civil society groups organize themselves—including CEPF itself—is essential to their ability to deliver conservation results on the ground. One of the reasons I accepted the role of chairperson of CEPF’s Donor Council was my strong support of CEPF’s commitment to identify and engage with local civil society organizations and give them the means to protect the world’s biodiversity hotspots. CEPF takes governance issues very seriously as it evaluates potential grantee organizations, seeking to ensure that they have the appropriate capacity to carry out their agreed tasks, and helping them build needed abilities. Keys to strong organizations include hiring the highest level of technical staff members and choosing individuals for boards of directors who are willing and able to play an appropriate strategic role that helps ensure the agreed work program is carried out. These elements enable organizations to deliver results in a high-quality, transparent, robust and timely manner. If the organizations working with CEPF have challenges with any governance issues, CEPF is ready to come to their assistance to improve matters and achieve the desired outcomes. AN EXAMPLE FROM MADAGASCAR In June of 2018, I was pleased to participate in such a mission to Mad- agascar-based Tany Meva, the organization selected to be the regional implementation team working with CEPF to oversee the investment in the Madagascar and the Indian Ocean Islands Biodiversity Hotspot. We had fruitful conversations with newly appointed Executive

Director Claude Fanohiza as well as the members of the Tany Meva board. We reviewed the different responsibilities of the board, the director and the staff in order to achieve complementarity, empower the executive branch of the organization and avoid duplications. These are challenges that all organizations face, and Tany Meva’s courage in addressing them with us is, in my view, admirable. The trip to Madagascar also gave me a chance to meet with several of CEPF’s partners in the country and gain a better understanding of the importance of the conservation challenge that Madagascar is facing. I came away impressed by their work and their collaboration with each other to resolve common problems. TAPPING THE POTENTIAL OF LOCAL CIVIL SOCIETY There is, of course, risk inherent in CEPF’s choice to work with local civil society organizations in the countries of the biodiversity hotspots. Many CEPF grantee organizations are in the early stages of development or are experiencing growing pains as they seek to take on a larger role in conservation. But this is also where the greatest opportunity lies for those seeking to improve biodiversity conservation around the globe. The energy, knowledge and commitment these organizations can bring to the cause are powerful, and it is important to take the steps necessary to make the most of this resource. Empowered and capable local organizations are also essential in the context of success- ful implementation of the long-term conservation vision pursued by CEPF in every biodiversity hotspot where it invests. The CEPF partnership of grantees, regional implementation teams, donors and staff is building the future of the biodiversity hotspots. All the partners are putting their resources, time and talents on the line to achieve a vision that we agree is wonderful, challenging and urgently needed. — Julia Marton-Lefèvre, CEPF Donor Council Chairperson

Annual Report 2018 6 Critical Ecosystem Partnership Fund DONOR MESSAGE: CONSERVATION INTERNATIONAL

CLIMATE: THE SOLUTION IS IN OUR NATURE The need for urgent action on climate change has never been clearer. The October 2018 special report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change clearly outlined the importance of limiting temperature rise to below 1.5 degrees Celsius, and what is at stake if we fail. The report documented the deadly climate impacts already

To truly address the problem at scale, the report shows that rapid decarbonization, carbon removal and deployment of natural climate solutions will all be necessary. In fact, at least 30 percent of cost-effective climate change mitigation potential can be delivered through natural climate solutions. Reducing carbon dioxide emissions makes up about half of this figure, achieved primarily by decreasing or eliminating loss of natural, carbon-rich

ecosystems. Restoration of natural ecosystems and other natural CO2 removal actions make up the other half. THE ROLE OF CIVIL SOCIETY AND BIODIVERSITY Not only does nature offer immediate opportunities to direct its power to addressing climate change, but it also does so with multiple other benefits. For instance, protecting nature secures the rich biodiversity of natural ecosystems, which promotes ecosystem resilience to climate transitions; bolsters the productivity of our fisheries; and helps ensure that our grasslands and forests continue to supply fresh water, feed people and buffer communities from extreme weather. Employing sustainable

A CEPF-funded project completed by the University of Saint Joseph (USJ) in 2016 made important to communities for its spiritual, aesthetic and tremendous headway in protecting some of Lebanon’s rare flowers: Two plant micro-reserves were established, and work began on building the recreational values. The efforts of CEPF grantees to protect first national red list for threatened species. and learn more about species benefit us all. Professor Magda Bou Dagher Kharrat, project lead, and her team continued their work after the CEPF grant and achieved an important breakthrough in 2018: They determined how to successfully germinate three of Lebanon’s most endangered flowers in a laboratory setting. “It’s taken us four years of working on the germination protocol in our laboratory for seed germination and conservation. Initially, less than 3 percent of the seeds would germinate after six or seven months,” said Bou Dagher Kharrat. In the wild, the seeds are naturally dispersed by ants that hide them underground and eat a small portion. “We found a way to imitate this process and now, in two weeks, we have germination,” she added. USJ has taken Iris bismarckiana germinated in the lab and successfully planted them in the Sarada micro-reserve. “When there are two flowers found far away from each other, we plant others between them, to create a corridor,” Bou Dagher Kharrat explained. This process has been applied to other endangered iris species, too. Now USJ is using a new grant from CEPF to expand its efforts on behalf of Lebanon’s plants, including integrating plants into the site management of three existing reserves, strengthening the management of the Sarada micro-reserve, and testing conservation approaches at some archaeological sites.

Association (VMNB), and expanding the capacity of VMNB’s members through training and mentoring in fisheries management. The goal is to move the Barren Isles, the largest marine protected area in the country, from its current temporary protected status to permanent protection as a locally managed marine area co-managed by the VMNB. “We made substantial progress toward securing protected status for the Barren Isles Marine Protected Area [MPA], which supports the livelihoods of thousands of local fishers,” said Cécile Fattebert, the Barren Isles project manager. “The MPA will also serve as a pilot site for the regional fisheries management plan.” The local management approach, including participatory selection of areas where fishing is prohibited, is already making a difference. “Octopus fishers from Nosy Maroantaly have never caught such a big quantity,” said Robustin Letiny, vice president of the Management Committee of the Association Vezo Miray Nosy Barren. “We are convinced now that this technique of making octopus grow big is good for us. We have also observed that some species of fish have grown as well and multiplied, such as the mullet.” Nearly all of the fishers in most villages are now registered VMNB members—no mean feat given the size of the protected area. Blue Ventures has developed a community monitoring, control and surveillance system, and helped obtain a ministerial decree for adoption of the regional fisheries management plan.

Annual Report 2018 34 Critical Ecosystem Partnership Fund CONSERVING NATURE IN PRODUCTION LANDSCAPES

Land used to produce food and other agricultural INDO-BURMA BIODIVERSITY HOTSPOT commodities—or production landscape—is often In the wildlife sanctuaries of northern Cambodia, rice farmers and waterbirds have something in common: adjacent to natural areas and has an important role to They need the area’s rich natural ecosystems to thrive. Rice cultivation is a vital economic activity and source of food play in conservation, in particular in promoting connectivity for local communities. However, agricultural expansion and pollution threaten grasslands and forests that provide important ecosystem services in habitat corridors designed to conserve biodiversity. communities also need, such as soil fertility, as well as habitat for globally threatened species and other wildlife. CEPF grantee Sansom Mlup Prey Managing such areas sustainably and in harmony with (SMP) seeks to improve farmers’ livelihoods in a way that provides nature not only helps ensure their abundance for the long incentives to protect their environment. Through SMP’s Ibis Rice project, which celebrates 10 years of activity term, but also protects nearby resources that are essential in 2019, SMP is increasing market access for the high-quality, organic, wildlife-friendly rice produced in remote communities within the wildlife to humans and biodiversity. sanctuaries. As a result, participating farmers are earning more for their rice, and in exchange they agree to employ organic farming methods and controls over agricultural expansion, as well as refrain from poaching and logging. SMP monitors for compliance. Ibis Rice takes its name from the giant ibis (Thaumatibis gigantea), Cambodia’s national bird. With an estimated population of 194 individuals primarily in northern Cambodia, the giant ibis is listed as Critically Endangered on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. The Ibis Rice program now includes 700 households, from which it purchased 950 metric tons of paddy following the 2018 harvest, at a price that was 40 percent higher than the market price for conventional rice. “Local people are starting to understand the real benefit that they can see from respecting the Ibis Rice standard,” said Socheat Keo, SMP program manager. “We can see in general that participating families did not clear new land illegally, hunt wild animals or use chemicals in their rice production.” The growth in household participation has been facilitated by finding new international markets that require USDA and organic certification, according to Nick Spencer, SMP’s business manager. “Now all our farmers are certified to export to Canada, the EU and Singapore,” he said. SMP has recently developed a new project aimed at farmers around Tonle Sap Lake, particularly the areas important for the Bengal florican (Houbaropsis bengalensis), another bird species listed as Critically Endan- gered on the IUCN Red List. SMP is pioneering a new global sustainability standard for rice through the Sustainable Rice Platform, implementing Cambodia’s first pilot project under the standard. Their efforts have led

This industry takes a big toll on the region’s nature and its water resources. The Cerrado Waters Consortium is pursuing a sustainable approach that conserves the region’s biodiversity and its water supplies. The Instituto de Manejo e Certificação Florestal e Agrícola (IMAFLORA), a CEPF grantee, founded the consortium with the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) and the Ecological Research Institute. They are collaborating with the Cerrado Coffee Growers Federation and Cooxupé (a coffee cooperative), as well as Nespresso, to influence the creation of a pilot payment for ecosystem services (PES) scheme in the municipality of Patrocínio in the heart of one of Brazil’s primary coffee regions. In addition to Nespresso, coffee roasters Illy, Lavazza and Nestlé have committed to finance the fixed costs associated with the consortium management team. “We are working to ensure future environmental services payments, as well as creating various maps of the consortium farms,” said Eduardo Trevisan Gonçalves of IMAFLORA. “The maps will support restoration of the areas that need to augment forest cover.” According to Brazilian law, farmers need to maintain 20 percent of their properties as natural ecosystems, yet not everyone does.

Live & Learn Vanuatu assessed and promoted fresh water and a buffer from extreme weather events. awareness of biodiversity, developed a management and land-use plan, and established a local CCA management committee. The project also sought to identify conservation-based livelihood projects and raise funding for plan implementation. “To date, through collaboration with partners, the CCA has registered 4,849 hectares of land under Vanuatu’s Environment Protection Act,” said Live & Learn Vanuatu’s Glarinda Andre. “The CCA has also produced a management action plan to manage and monitor threatened species within the area.” The plan has received official signoff from Vanuatu’s Director of Environ- ment, Reedly Tari. A land-use planning workshop, meanwhile, resulted in the mapping of the CCA to define the various uses—such as resource harvesting, hunting, and untouched forest areas—to aid future management of the Tabwemasana CCA. Live & Learn Vanuatu’s efforts also helped to create an eight-member local CCA management committee, and resulted in the printing and circulation of a booklet on the plants and animals of the Mount Tabwemasana CCA. The work is not over, though. With CEPF financial support, the grantee will soon begin to train project participants to conduct species monitoring, develop a data reporting system and implement a financing model. In addition, Live & Learn Vanuatu-supported field activities aim to enhance ecotourism opportunities at Mount Tabwemasana.

MADAGASCAR AND THE INDIAN OCEAN ISLANDS BIODIVERSITY HOTSPOT In the island nation of Comoros, CEPF grantee Dahari is working to identify conservation priorities on Anjouan Island. The government of Comoros has declared new protected areas across Anjouan and other islands, and Dahari aims to inform conservation practice in these areas through research targeted at endemic fauna and flora. Because the Comoros lacks proper identification of conservation priorities and detailed species research, Dahari has performed multiple species distribution analyses and animal ecology studies, important first steps toward developing species conservation plans and actions. “This project aims to fill the gaps in that understanding,” said Hugh Doulton, Dahari’s strategic advisor. “Our previous research in the Co- moros led to the Livingstone’s flying fox being upgraded from Endangered to Critically Endangered [on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species].” Dahari’s five-member local ecology team is using research on the flying fox as the basis for a conservation agreement scheme to protect roost sites. The conservation agreements offer incentives to local landowners to reforest and protect these sites. “I have agreed not to cut trees in the parcel around the roost site and to reforest. Dahari provides me with materials and seeds in exchange,” said Abdouroihamane, a local landowner and one of the first to sign the agreement. “The situation is good for me.” Data on other species’ distribution levels are also helping to identify key areas for conservation efforts. At the village level, another of Dahari’s aims was to have a local participatory monitoring program of biodiversity and ecosystem health. That was established in mid-2018, and Dahari is training local representatives to take over that monitoring. Dahari is also mapping the remaining forests of the Comoros and studying deforestation drivers to help improve efforts to reduce habitat loss—work that CEPF is supporting through a second grant focused on watershed reforestation and management.

Another key role for the RIT is making connections. Linking small grants with large grants is very important to the success of the investment, according to the team. “We will connect grantees with one another. We’ve had partners in projects teaming up in lots of collaborations, in transboundary projects. There have been grantee exchanges,” said Smith. “We’re looking over a lot of different countries, a lot of different themes. We’re in a very unique place to be able to put people together, and that’s really important.” One example is a new partnership between Libyan and Jordanian grantees that was facilitated through an exchange visit funded by CEPF. The newly established organizations Libyan Wildlife Trust and Oxygen visited Jordanian organization Sweimeh Association Charity and other groups to learn about their experience in nature conservation and ecotourism. The participants remain in contact, exchanging views and seeking guidance on conservation actions. Providing a bridge between government and civil society is also important, setting the stage for a mutually beneficial, long-term relationship that can help countries achieve commitments to international agreements such CEPF’s Ecosystem Profiles as the U.N.
