What the Satoyama Initiative is? An initiative for: Promotion and support of socio-ecological production landscapes And thus maintaining and/or enhancing their contribution to human well-being and the three objectives of the CBD
But what are socio-ecological production landscapes? Why should we promote them?
What are socio-ecological production landscapes? • Dynamic mosaics of habitats and land uses shaped by interactions between people and nature over many years (cultural heritage), including sea-scapes • Compatible with the Ecosystem Approach and Guidelines on Sustainable Use • Natural resources are used, re-used, recycled in a cyclical manner within the carrying capacity and resilience of ecosystems
What are socio-ecological production landscapes (SEPL)? Found in many regions of the world under various names Srair-Chamkar in Cambodia Muyong, uma and payoh in the Philippines Mauel in Korea Dehesa in Spain Terroirs in France and other Mediterranean countries • Chitemene in Malawi and Zambia • Satoyama in Japan More examples in CBD Technical Series No. 52 • • • • •
In common wise and sustainable use of biological resources In accordance with traditional and, in some cases, modern cultural practices

SEPLs Case Mt. Kilimanjaro Region, Tanzania Chagga communities have practiced complex agroforestry for centuries, providing key ecosystem services to protect critical watersheds and biodiversity on Mt. Kilimanjaro, which is recently under threat of climate change.
Garrity D. ICRAF
SEPLs Case Kagogo, Northern Rwanda Soil erosion have caused loss of fertile soil, leading to sediment and pollution in lakes and rivers. Sustainable land management, esp. AF has reversed soil degradation and kept water clean, benefitting communities.
Why should we promote SEPL? They are beneficial • Provide humans with goods and services needed for their well-being (provisioning, regulating, cultural and supporting services) as well as maintain biodiversity • Achieve optimal balance of food production, livelihood improvement and ecosystem conservation, thus achievement of MDGs and national development policies. • Provide sense of roots and identity • Contribute to the mitigation of and adaptation to climate change • Play role in achieving connectivity/corridor conservation • Thus = tools for implementing CBD and post 2010 targets
Why should we promote SEPL? They are threatened Abandoned because Rural depopulation in search of employment and better living conditions Ageing populations Insufficient provision for the livelihood of local communities Lost because of unplanned urbanization, industrialization encroaching on SEPL Overexploited or degraded due to increase in population/resource demand
Consequences • Decline in ecosystem services with serious consequences for the local and broader communities and biodiversity
We need Urgent measures for socio-ecological production landscapes: Support existing ones (maintain them) Revitalize Revitalize or rebuild degraded or abandoned ones Create new ones
The Satoyama Initiative: Vision Realizing Societies in Harmony with Nature • Building positive human-nature relationships by: – Maintaining and developing socio-economic activities (including agriculture, forestry and fishing) in alignment with natural processes – Ensuring that biological resources are managed and utilized in sustainable manner • So that biodiversity can be maintained, and humans can enjoy a stable supply of various benefits of nature (ecosystem services) well into the future

Conceptual Structure of the Satoyama Initiative
Achieving the Vision (long term goal) by carrying out activities in accordance with the Three-fold Approach, which in concrete terms, entails the Five Perspectives. 12
Three-fold Approach of the Satoyama Initiative
Consolidating wisdom on a stable supply of diverse ecosystem services Integrating traditional ecological knowledge with modern science Exploring new forms of co-management system or “new� commons while respecting traditional communal land tenure

Five perspectives of the Satoyama Initiative Winter grazing in winterage on Burren Hills, Ireland
Perspective 1: Resource use within the carrying capacity and resilience of the environment
•Farm management based on traditional knowledge of natural carrying capacity (13 cows per winterage for 6 months) •Ensures removal of accumulated dead vegetation and prevents overgrazing of the uplands (Source: Submitted report by P. Sharon et. al.)
Perspective 2: Cyclic use of natural resources
(Modified after Inui, 1996)

Perspective 3: Recognition of the value and importance of local traditions and cultures

Perspective 4: Natural resource management by various participating and cooperating entities (Source: Submitted report by S.J. Nindi.)

Perspective 5: Contributions to local socio-economies 15
Collaboration efforts have been taken by farmers in the upstream and downstream areas, by universities and local government

What the Satoyama Initiative intends to achieve â&#x20AC;˘ Better understand importance of socio-ecological production landscapes for livelihoods and the three objectives of the CBD â&#x20AC;˘ Raise awareness
Provide support to existing socio-ecological production landscapes Expand where appropriate = part of implementation of the post-2010 Strategic Plan
Collaborate with other initiatives dealing with socio-ecological production landscapes (e.g. GIAHS, ICRAF, IUCN, Bioversity International, Planete Terroirs, UNESCO, UNEP, UNDP etc.)
Expected Role (I)
Enhance Understanding and Raising Awareness
Dissemination, Education Promotion
Research on ways & means to: • Promote wisdom on ecosystem services • Bridge TEK & modern science • Explore new forms of co-management • Revitalize and innovate SEPL • integrate policy results & decision-making Measurable indicators of resilience for SEPL

What the Satoyama Initiative intends to 2 achieve
Provide support to existing socio-ecological production landscapes Expand where appropriate = part of implementation of the post-2010 Strategic Plan
â&#x20AC;˘ Enhance capacities (e.g. regional workshops) for on-the-ground projects to maintain, rebuild and revitalize socio-ecological production landscapes â&#x20AC;˘ Provide support
What the Satoyama Initiative intends to 3 achieve
Collaborate with other initiatives dealing with socio-ecological production landscapes (e.g. GIAHS, ICRAF, IUCN, Bioversity International, Planete Terroirs, UNESCO, UNEP, UNDP etc.)
• Collaborate with and/or strengthen synergies with partners including – local community organizations – National/local governments – donor agencies – IOs, NGOs – other UN agencies and organizations
What enabling mechanisms to support the Satoyama Initiative? • An International Partnership to carry out, as much as possible in synergy, the activities identified by the Satoyama Initiative and individual activities – linked to national/sub-national and regional partnerships – open to all organizations dealing with socio-ecological production landscapes • Financial mechanisms including mechanisms such as the payment for ecosystem services for the implementation of the Initiative and elated projects and activities of the International Partnership • Reporting to CBD SBSTTA and COP in accordance with CBD MYPOW, and with milestones for MDGs 2015
Why International Partnership? Ensure synergy, complementarities among all the activities of organisations maximize resources and strengthen the work of each other (with knowledge, expertise etc.)
