PanNature actively supports community-led conservation efforts, and our participation in the 5th ICCA Southeast Asia Regional Assembly (March 3rd-8th, 2024) exemplifies this commitment. The Assembly brought together passionate individuals from across Southeast Asia, united in their mission to protect nature and empower indigenous communities.

Training on biodiversity conservation for the Kon Pne community

PanNature organized two training sessions in 2023: preserving the survival of wild animals and plants in Kon Pne in September and assessing the community's biodiversity status in November. Participants include the Community Development Boards of three villages, household representatives, and the Kon Pne Commune Forest Protection Group. The training method incorporates general knowledge of biodiversity, field observation and practice, and particular activities like forest patrols, biodiversity monitoring, and so on. PanNature plans to continue more capacity-building activities on biodiversity monitoring, sustainable use and equitable benefit sharing, and developing and maintaining community-managed conservation areas in 2024.

Agroforestry Helps to Secure Land Tenure in Dak Lak Province

With support from the Region Mekong Land Governance Project, since 2021, PanNature has piloted agroforestry livelihood models to improve the lives of local people. Accordingly, the agroforestry model has been piloted by 5 households in Tul Village and 6 households in Hang Nam Village to improve the local livelihood through effective farming. Cultivation land in both villages is significant on sloping land, which is being degraded with erosion of topsoil on rainy days. Agroforestry is seen as an important measure to help conserve the topsoil while improving local livelihood, reduce the risk of losing their allocated forests due to inefficient use, and contribute to securing the allocated rights.
