F.a: Securing Bio-cultural Rights of IPLCs in the National ABS Policies and Community Forest Management Plans in Nepal
The securing of biocultural rights of indigenous and local communities (IPLC) in Nepal's national policies and legislation and management plan of community forestry is one of the challenging issue for IPLCs in Nepal. Despite lots of community efforts, sti ll there are lacking explicit legal provisions on bio-cultural rights of IPLCs in the national policies and local level forest management plans. The aim of this project is to secure these rights in legislation as well as in policies and plans at different levels of government. The project has the following dimensions: Local level training in the western high hill region and in the border region with India(western Terai Arc landscape); A national level workshop on biocultural rights in Kathmandu; Documentati on and mapping of traditional knowledge, customary practices and bio-cultural practices as well as revision of forest management plan for securing bio-cultural rights will be conducted in two community forest groups (Myagdi and Bardiya districts); Based on the material collected in the project, a resource booklet on biocultural rights will be published in Nepali and a summary in English; The lessons learned from the project would be shared at the CBD COP15 conference in China in 2020. The main expected resu lt of the project is to incorporate the policy and legal provisions on bio-cultural rights in the national policy and legislation and to establish functional practices for the securing bio-cultural rights in the local communities as well as national level. The IPLCs will be able to claim their bio-cultural rights based on their community protocols or forest management plans. The main beneficiaries of the project are indigenous communities and community forest groups covered by the project. Other key stakeho lders in the project include other community-based organisations in project communities, other NGOs involved in workshops and training, and government officers at different levels. The aim is to have more than 140 people participating in trainings and work shops. In addition, about 230 households would benefit from biocultural surveys and updated forest management plans. Project is implemented by Federation of Community Forestry Users Nepal (FECOFUN) -järjestö, www.fecofun.org.np.

Human Elephant Coexistence in Koshi Tappu Wildlife Reserve, Eastern Nepal.
This project, developed in collaboration with local communities and the Koshi Tappu Wildlife Reserve (KTWR) located in the eastern Terai landscape of Nepal, aims to initiate conservation activities to ensure the long-term survival of wild Asian elephants and their coexistence with humans in this region. Project objectives include monitoring of Asian elephants, reduction of human-elephant conflict (HEC), outreach and education centered on elephant conservation and HEC, and promotion of alternative livelihoods in HEC-prone areas. Specific project activities include: 1) collection and analysis of dung DNA to estimate the elephant population size in KTWR; 2) formation and training of a community-based HEC response team (CBHEC) including two members from each of 14 Buffer Zone Community Forest (BZCF) groups; 3) CBHEC team monitoring wild elephants and collection of HEC data; 4) promotion of alternative livelihoods such as fish farming to HEC-affected and marginalized groups; 5) development of awareness and education materials and conducting an awareness program via local media including FM radio, street dramas, and sign boards; and 6) human-elephant coexistence (HECx) training delivery to 14 BZCF groups with 35 participants per training; 7) HECx training for 10 local journalists, 40 army personnel, local grade 9-10 school students; and 8) an exposure visit for the CBHEC response team and KTWR staff to Chitwan and Bardia National Parks to observe successful HEC mitigation measures employed in these parks. This project will contribute to the long-term survival and conservation of wild Asian elephants in Nepal by addressing the relatively new and increasing problem of HEC in the Eastern Nepal landscape. This award is provisionally approved for two phases or years of funding, with each phase or years funding dependent upon performance and financial management of the previous phase or year, meeting technical and financial reporting requirements, and availability of A

The overall goal of the project is to development community stewardship for human-elephant coexistence (HECx) by diversifying livelihood opportunities, strengthening use of HEC mitigation tools such as electric fences and street lights, establishing a value chain approach for unpalatable cash crops, and launching community outreach programs in the eastern sector of the park to increase the tolerance of local communities for wild elephants. Specific project activities include: 1) tourism homestay workshop, training, and promotion in HEC-prone areas; 2) electric fencing and street light provisioning; 3) procurement and training of elephant immobilization equipment to wildlife technicians and mobility support to HEC rapid response teams; 4) scoping study of fire wood species and production of seedlings and plantations; 5) provision of seed money for two agricultural cooperatives in unpalatable crops and business training for farmers; 6) agricultural extension for unpalatable essential oil crops such as mentha, chamomile, and lemongrass; 7) conservation education classes at community schools; and 8) workshop with journalists to broadcast elephant conservation stories. This project contributes to the conservation of wild Asian elephants by supporting and educating local communities sharing the landscape with wild elephants in the Terai region of Nepal. This award is provisionally approved for two phases or years funding, with each phase or years funding dependent upon performance and financial management of the previous phase or years, meeting technical and financial reporting requirements, and availability of ASECF funds.
