10. ACHIEVEMENTS Partnerships HAKIARDHI TRAFFIC

11. LESSONS LEARNING Strengthening partnerships in addressing forest governances through dialogue and opportunities for knowledge & information sharing. Promoting CBRNM: Incentivising communities, benefit sharing and voices towards sustainable forest management The current wave on Land based investment, should be tackled and handled. Governance of land, natural resources and investment activities must be strengthened

12. Challenges Timber moratorium in 2005 & 2010 brought under cover governance challenges Biomass Energy becoming a serious driver. Use rights and gender: Community benefits and livelihoods – opportunity costs. Institutional set up - CBFM, TFS, Policy frameworks on NRs (Land, Forests, Minerals, Oils & Gas, etc).

13. Extending the Coastal Forest Protected Area Subsystem The Coastal Forest Biodiversity and Ecosystem Values are conserved and provide sustainable benefit flows at local, national and global levels. The spatial coverage and management effectiveness of the Coastal Forest PA sub system is expanded and strengthened. So far more than 1,000,000Ha are annexed in the PAs
