hese initiatives face external and internal threats. There has been little participatory analysis of the forms of support communities themselves would like to receive to enhance the resilience of their conservation initiatives and ?Buen Vivir?. The aim of 
the project is to provide policy advice on effective and appropriate forms of support for community conservation. The project will document and review the findings of bottom-up, participatory assessments in at least 10 different countries of the resilience
 of community conservation initiatives and the support that should be provided to strengthen these initiatives. The results of the assessments will be widely disseminated and fed into the relevant international policy processes like the UN Framework Conven
tion on Climate Change, the Convention on Biodiversity and the World Forestry Congress through an active outreach and advocacy campaign. The project is expected to have significant multiplier effect by building the advocacy capacity of indigenous peoples a
nd local communities and by providing targeted advice to influential policy processes that can generate effective and appropriate support and enabling environment for community conservation initiatives. The project will contribute to a global dialogue betw
een a diverse group of rights holders and other actors on how to strengthen the resilience of community conservation initiatives and Buen Vivir in the light of local and global threats. It will include, but not be limited to, a dialogue on defending commun
ity conservation against forest-related threats like deforestation, the commodification and financialization of forests, and the promotion of monoculture tree plantations. The results of the assessments and conference will be disseminated through a range o
f outreach and advocacy activities, specifically targeting the World Forestry Congress in September 2015. Main activities: 1. Build the capacity of indigenous peoples, local communities and their support groups to apply the participatory methodology of the
 community conservation resilience assessment (CCRI) 2. Document and review the findings of at least 10 community conservation resilience assessment processes and organize a multi-stakeholder conf
