Alazada, Vision Way Communication Co., Ltd Satoyama Initiative The Satoyama Initiative is a global effort, first proposed jointly by the United Nations University and the Ministry of the Environment of Japan (MOEJ), to realize “societies in harmony with nature” and contribute to biodiversity conservation through the revitalization and sustainable management of “socio-ecological production landscapes and seascapes” (SEPLS). The United Nations University Institute for the Advanced Study of Sustainability (UNU-IAS) serves as the Secretariat of the International Partnership for the Satoyama Initiative (IPSI). The activities of the IPSI Secretariat are made possible through the financial contribution of the Ministry of the Environment, Japan. UNU-IAS The United Nations University Institute for the Advanced Study of Sustainability (UNU-IAS) is a leading research and teaching institute based in Tokyo, Japan. Its mission is to advance efforts towards a more sustainable future, through policy-relevant research and capacity development focused on sustainability and its social, economic and environmental dimensions. UNU-IAS serves the international community, making valuable and innovative contributions to high-level policymaking and debates within the UN system. The activities of the institute are in three thematic areas: sustainable societies, natural capital and biodiversity, and global change and resilience. IGES The Institute for Global Environmental Strategies (IGES) was established in March 1998 under an initiative of the Japanese government and with the support of Kanagawa Prefecture. The aim of the Institute is to achieve a new paradigm for civilization and conduct innovative policy development and strategic research for environmental measures, reflecting the results of research into political decisions for realising sustainable development both in the Asia-Pacific region and globally. The Institute will tackle fundamental challenges to human society, and to redefine the values and value systems of our present societies that have resulted in the global environmental crisis, in order to create new ways of conducting activities and a new paradigm for civilization. ii Satoyama Initiative Thematic Review vol. 5 Table of contents Foreword iv Preface vi Chapter 1.

Mainstreaming Community-Conserved Areas (CCAs) for biodiversity conservation in SEPLS - A case study from Nagaland, India Siddharth Edake, Pia Sethi, Yatish Lele 169 List of Authors 180 Satoyama Initiative Thematic Review vol. 5 iii Foreword Research led by UNU-IAS has been contributing to the understanding of sustainable use of biodiversity for many years, in particular related to resource-management approaches at the landscape level. In all of our work, we have tried to better understand and communicate the value of biodiversity, both in terms of monetary value and other, less tangible, kinds of value. Our work has consistently shown that these multiple values can be derived from conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity through the concept of “socio-ecological production landscapes and seascapes” (SEPLS), with both social and ecological components contributing to sustainable ecosystems and human livelihoods. UNU-IAS has worked closely with the Ministry of the Environment of Japan in the development of the Satoyama Initiative, a global effort to realize “societies in harmony with nature,” focusing on the revitalization and sustainable management of landscapes and seascapes towards well-managed SEPLS. We have hosted the Secretariat of the International Partnership for the Satoyama Initiative (IPSI) since its establishment at the Tenth Meeting of the Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD COP 10) in Aichi, Nagoya, Japan in 2010. In this role we coordinate the efforts of partners across the globe toward biodiversity conservation through integrated and holistic landscape and seascape management approaches, with mutual benefits for biodiversity and livelihoods. As IPSI’s membership has grown to 258 organizations, it has accumulated a wide range of knowledge and experience, and many members are now working collaboratively for better management of SEPLS in various settings around the world. The case studies presented in this fifth volume of the Satoyama Initiative Thematic Review highlight how the concept of SEPLS, implemented in different spatial, cultural, and administrative contexts, can contribute to understanding of the multiple values of nature, and thereby improve biodiversity conservation through sustainable use. The objective will allow synthesizing knowledge relevant to a wide set of audiences including the ''Methodological assessment regarding the diverse conceptualization of multiple values of nature and its contributions including biodiversity and ecosystem functions and services'' currently being prepared by the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES). I am confident that this volume will provide inspiration and useful knowledge for practitioners, policymakers, and scientists, and that the activities described will make broader contributions to the knowledge base of IPBES, as well as conservation efforts including the Post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and other ongoing policy processes.
