Participatory in situ Conservation and Sustainable Use of Agrobiodiversity in Hainan Strengthen the in-situ conservation and sustainable use of globally significant agrobiodiversity in Hainan through the development of incentive mechanisms for farmers to sustain populations of endemic crops and livestock, the establishment of a supportive enabling environment and strengthened institutional capacity. Note: Disbursement data provided is cumulative and covers disbursement made by the project Agency. Generation of global environmental benefits is closely linked to the well-being of the men and women in the demonstration landscapes. Agrobiodiversity is inherently linked to the livelihoods of the people in these communities who are engaged in the conservation and/or sustainable use GRFA varieties and of the broader public who benefit from the nutritional values delivered and ecosystem services safeguarded. Women play a particularly important role in this matter, considering their tasks and responsibilities for food production, management of agricultural systems in rural areas where many men have migrated from for work opportunities in cities and marketing agricultural products and services. The project will generate the following socioeconomic benefits:  · A cumulative total of 5,522 direct project beneficiaries, including 2,739 women and 2,783 men, and broken down by 5,412 people (2,706 women and 2,706 men) living in the communities within the demonstration agricultural landscapes (Li and Miao ethnic minorities living in 2 of the 3 target landscapes) and 110 institutional staff members (33 women and 77 men) having strengthened capacities with regard to in-situ conservation and sustainable use of agrobiodiversity.  · 500 farmers trained in best practice approaches to conservation and sustainable use of GRFA varieties.  · Sustainable livelihood benefits generated as a result of increased engagement of farmer households in conservation and sustainable use of GRFA varieties: an additional 30 households are estimated to become engaged over the course of the project.  · Enhanced access to improved genetic resources through establishment of a community seed bank for Shanlan rice and livestock competitions for Wuzhishan pig and Jiaji duck.  · Increased resilience of local communities through completion of participatory landscape assessments and development and implementation of GRFA conservation and sustainable use plans. These activities will facilitate an increased awareness and knowledge of the value of agrobiodiversity and introduction of improved agricultural practices and approaches, leading to an increase in the protection of ecosystem services and more sustainable use of available natural resources.  · Increased knowledge and availability of traditional GRFA varieties, through targeted awareness campaigns, strengthened marketing capacities and formation of new partnerships for new and strengthened GRFA products and offerings, such as agro-ecotourism.  · Increased involvement of youth in the conservation and sustainable use of GRFA varieties, thus increasing the likelihood that results achieved will be sustained among future generations of institutional and production sector stakeholders.  Increased membership into agricultural associations such as cooperatives.
