Socioeconomic and environmental characteristics of the area (within 50 words)

CoastalPagar Alam upland region is located in the upstream of Musi, one of the largest watersheds in Sumatra. A coffee
producer area; 70% of its population are farmers and 30% of its area is the upland forest. Coffee farming is gradually
being replaced by intensive farming practices, which would increase farmers’ vulnerability to climate change andenvironmental risks.

Description of human-nature interactions in the area
(land-use, traditional resource management practices etc. – within 50 words)

In Pagar Alam upland region, many farmers cultivate in the forest margin and sloping land. Pagar Alam, one of the majorcoffee production area in Sumatra, experiences rapid land-use conversion as many farmers convert their coffee
agroforestry into seasonal crops, which might lead to further degradation of the upland environmental quality.

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 a SEPLS-related policy may describe the policymaking process; or a casestudy 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 50 words)

In the upland of Pagar Alam, farmers cultivate in the forest margin area. The dominant coffee-farming practices, however,is being threatened by the intensive vegetable crops in the sloping upland. Coffee farmers still practice traditional
management, and there is a need to incentivize coffee management improvement through sustainable farming practices.

Objectives (goals of activities or policies described, or of producing the case study – within 50 words)
The project has two overarching goals:
1. To assess coffee smallholders’ vulnerability that affects the upland livelihood and landscapes, based on local
perspectives.

2.

To enable smallholders to apply adaptation measures that simultaneously address livelihood and landscape
improvement.

Activities and/or practices employed (within 50 words)
Vulnerability Assessment, Capacity building for Smallholders through Sustainable Coffee Workshop, and Linking farmers
to better market

Results (within 50 words)
The project has improved the knowledge and understanding regarding the local vulnerability of upland farmers in Pagar
Alam. The project has strengthened the local farmers’ capacity on sustainable coffee farming practices. The project also
facilitated the smallholders to access better market that incentivize improved management practices and landscapeconservation efforts.

Lessons learned (factors in success or failure, challenges and opportunities – within 40 words)
This initiative demonstrated a boundary work that link sciences with the local actions, in order to improve the landscapeand livelihood. The vulnerability assessment would provide a holistic description regarding the drivers of problem andformulate recommendation towards appropriate actions.

Key messages (within 40 words)
Adaptation to vulnerability requires a holistic approach that takes into account local livelihood and the landscape integrity.
There is an opportunity to link the market with initiatives to maintain the landscape quality while improving the local
livelihood. Multi-scale efforts involving various stakeholders are required for improving farmers’ resilience.

By 2020, at least 17 per cent of terrestrial and inland water, and 10 per cent of coastal and marine
areas, especially areas of particular importance for biodiversity and ecosystem services, areconserved through effectively and equitably managed, ecologically representative and wellconnected systems of protected areas and other effective area-based conservation measures, andintegrated into the wider landscapes and seascapes.
By 2020 the extinction of known threatened species has been prevented and their conservation
status, particularly of those most in decline, has been improved and sustained.

By 2020, the genetic diversity of cultivated plants and farmed and domesticated animals and ofwild relatives, including other socio-economically as well as culturally valuable species, ismaintained, and strategies have been developed and implemented for minimizing genetic erosion
and safeguarding their genetic diversity.
By 2020, ecosystems that provide essential services, including services related to water, andcontribute to health, livelihoods and well-being, are restored and safeguarded, taking into accountthe 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 beenenhanced, through conservation and restoration, including restoration of at least 15 per cent ofdegraded ecosystems, thereby contributing to climate change mitigation and adaptation and tocombating desertification.
