7. Collective action of indigenous and local communities

8. Evolving perspectives on IPLCs 1960s: early pessimism about community action (Hardin, 1968) 1990s: idealistic view of community-based conservation initiatives. Many anti-desertification policies tried in the Sahel in 1970s and 1980s failed 2000s: community-based management regimes may be appropriate in some circumstances, but not in others

9. Collective action of indigenous and local communities UNEP/CBD/COP/12/13/ADD5/REV1: Report on Activities on Collective Actions and Non-Market- Based Approaches for Resource Mobilization Communities - not simply homogenous groups that work harmoniously to promote group objectives. More accurately seen as complex and dynamic institutions that are often characterized by internal differences and processes

13. Recreation and Tourism About 30% of travel and tourism revenues are related to cultural and ecotourism. Global travel and tourism: 11% of global GDP 200 million people or 7.6 % of total jobs nearly 700 million international travelers per year 36% of trade in commercial services in industrial economies and 66% in developing economies; 3–10% of GDP in advanced economies and up to 40% in developing economies; one of the top five exports for 83% of countries and the main source of foreign currency for at least 38% of countries (WTO).

16. Rationale underlying the Convention Historic arguments New studies

17. Rationale underlying the Convention Kubiszewski, Ida, Robert Costanzaa, Lham Dorjib, Philip Thoennesc, Kuenga Tsheringb (2013). An initial estimate of the value of ecosystem services in Bhutan, Ecosystem Services, Volume 3, March 2013, Pages e11–e21

18. Rationale underlying the Convention Value of ecosystem services in Bhutan: $15.5 billion/yr, vs GDP of $3.5 billion/yr 53% of the total benefits accrue to people outside Bhutan 47% to people inside the country: 15 % at the national level, and 32% at the local level

19. Calls for valuation Payment for ecosystem services Biodiversity offsetting Green markets etc.. Economic values

20. Kenya: Local councils oversee the Masai Mara National Reserve, local communities were entitled to 19% of reserve revenues, but received little or no money since the mid- 1990s Cameroon: Mining concessions by foreign companies Ethiopia: Micro dams to increase the availability of water for irrigation, / incidence of malaria seven times higher

21. Future: transparency and accessibility of information Develop options for strengthening systems of information on biodiversity-related international financial resource flows to developing countries, as well as on domestic resource flows, with a view to further increasing transparency and accessibility of information
