Socioeconomic and environmental characteristics of the area (within 50 words)
The project area is occupied by over 90% subsistence farmers actively engaged in crop cultivation (groundnuts,cassava, millet, cowpeas) and rearing of livestock such as cattle, goats and sheep. The area is a sub-humid dryland
was scattered swamps and tributaries. The area receives two rainy seasons annually.
Description of human-nature interactions in the area
(land-use, traditional resource management practices etc. – within 50 words)
The area is inhabited by majorly subsistence farmers growing crops and rearing a few livestock. The residents
derive most of their life support products from the surrounding environment. The common resource management
regime is the private regime. Only a small acreage is under public management regime.

Contents
Note: The following fields are used for information about activities described in the case study or the production of
the case study itself, and contents may vary depending on the nature of the case study. For example, a case study
about on-the-ground activities may include the rationale, objectives etc. for the activities; a case study about aSEPLS-related policy may describe the policymaking process; or a case study describing a SEPLS may address
particular practices used there. Please make an effort to fill as many fields as possible.
Rationale (why activities or policies described, or information shared in the case study are needed – within 50words)
The case study highlights the role played by community members who interface with nature almost daily. It
demonstrates the positive change that they cause in improving human-nature relations.
Objectives (goals of activities or policies described, or of producing the case study – within 50 words)
The activities carried out aimed at:i. documenting the diversity, use and management of trees in the remnant agroforestry parklands of
Kapelebyong district, Uganda
ii. enhancing community awareness and knowledge on the value, establishment and management ofagroforestry parklands,iii. enriching 1,500 hectares of cultivated fields with 12,000 tree seedlings
Activities and/or practices employed (within 50 words)
We conducted a botanical survey of remnant parklands, interviewed 60 farmers, conducted five (5) community
sensitization and awareness meetings, held two radio talk shows on 87.6 FM, produced 2,100 brochures; procured
tree seeds, raised and planted at least 14,500 tree seedlings, conducted mid-term and end of project evaluation
meetings.
Results (within 50 words)

We have generated knowledge on the diversity, use and management of trees in parklands of Kapelebyong district.
In addition, we have enhanced community awareness on management of parklands, local capacity to raise tree
seedlings, bolstered tree population on farms.
Lessons learned (factors in success or failure, challenges and opportunities – within 40 words)
There is power in utilizing the community change agents to accelerate project impact. We also learn that it ispertinent to have formal frameworks for end of project hand over to local governments for technical and financial
support.
Key messages (within 40 words)
Parklands contain tree species that offer life support products and enhance biodiversity conservation on farms. It ispertinent to enlist local change agents in the community as a means of fueling desired change from within.
Relationship to other IPSI activities (if the case study is related to any other IPSI collaborative activities, casestudies, etc.)
NoFunding (any relevant information about funding of activities or projects described in the case study)
The activities described here were fully funded by the Institute for Global Environmental Strategies (IGES) under

TargetDescription
DirectIndirectBy 2020, at the latest, people are aware of the values of biodiversity and the steps
they can take to conserve and use it sustainably.

x

By 2020, at the latest, biodiversity values have been integrated into national andlocal development and poverty reduction strategies and planning processes and arebeing incorporated into national accounting, as appropriate, and reporting systems.

x

By 2020, at the latest, incentives, including subsidies, harmful to biodiversity areeliminated, phased out or reformed in order to minimize or avoid negative impacts,
and positive incentives for the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity aredeveloped and applied, consistent and in harmony with the Convention and otherrelevant international obligations, taking into account national socio economicconditions.

x

By 2020, at the latest, Governments, business and stakeholders at all levels havetaken steps to achieve or have implemented plans for sustainable production andconsumption and have kept the impacts of use of natural resources well within safe
ecological limits.

x

By 2020, the rate of loss of all natural habitats, including forests, is at least halved
and where feasible brought close to zero, and degradation and fragmentation issignificantly reduced.
By 2020 all fish and invertebrate stocks and aquatic plants are managed andharvested sustainably, legally and applying ecosystem based approaches, so that
overfishing is avoided, recovery plans and measures are in place for all depleted
species, fisheries have no significant adverse impacts on threatened species andvulnerable ecosystems and the impacts of fisheries on stocks, species andecosystems are within safe ecological limits.

xxBy 2020 areas under agriculture, aquaculture and forestry are managed sustainably,
ensuring conservation of biodiversity.

x

By 2020, pollution, including from excess nutrients, has been brought to levels thatare not detrimental to ecosystem function and biodiversity.

x

By 2020, invasive alien species and pathways are identified and prioritized, priority
species are controlled or eradicated, and measures are in place to manage pathways
to prevent their introduction and establishment.

x

By 2015, the multiple anthropogenic pressures on coral reefs, and other vulnerable
ecosystems impacted by climate change or ocean acidification are minimized, so as
to maintain their integrity and functioning.
By 2020, at least 17 per cent of terrestrial and inland water, and 10 per cent ofcoastal and marine areas, especially areas of particular importance for biodiversity
and ecosystem services, are conserved through effectively and equitably managed,
ecologically representative and well connected systems of protected areas and othereffective area-based conservation measures, and integrated into the wider landscapesand seascapes.

xBy 2020 the extinction of known threatened species has been prevented and theirconservation status, particularly of those most in decline, has been improved andsustained.

x

By 2020, the genetic diversity of cultivated plants and farmed and domesticatedanimals and of wild relatives, including other socio-economically as well as
culturally valuable species, is maintained, and strategies have been developed andimplemented for minimizing genetic erosion and safeguarding their geneticdiversity.

x

By 2020, ecosystems that provide essential services, including services related towater, and contribute to health, livelihoods and well-being, are restored andsafeguarded, taking into account the needs of women, indigenous and local
communities, and the poor and vulnerable.
By 2020, ecosystem resilience and the contribution of biodiversity to carbon stocks
has been enhanced, through conservation and restoration, including restoration of atleast 15 per cent of degraded ecosystems, thereby contributing to climate change
mitigation and adaptation and to combating desertification.

x

By 2015, the Nagoya Protocol on Access to Genetic Resources and the Fair andEquitable Sharing of Benefits Arising from their Utilization is in force andoperational, consistent with national legislation.
By 2015 each Party has developed, adopted as a policy instrument, and hascommenced implementing an effective, participatory and updated national
biodiversity strategy and action plan.
By 2020, the traditional knowledge, innovations and practices of indigenous andlocal communities relevant for the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity,and their customary use of biological resources, are respected, subject to national
legislation and relevant international obligations, and fully integrated and reflectedx

in the implementation of the Convention with the full and effective participation ofindigenous and local communities, at all relevant levels.
By 2020, knowledge, the science base and technologies relating to biodiversity, itsvalues, functioning, status and trends, and the consequences of its loss, areimproved, widely shared and transferred, and applied.
By 2020, at the latest, the mobilization of financial resources for effectivelyimplementing the Strategic Plan for Biodiversity 2011-2020 from all sources, and inaccordance with the consolidated and agreed process in the Strategy for Resource
Mobilization, should increase substantially from the current levels. This target will
