Strengthening community-based protection in Torotorofotsy Ramsar wetland The aim of the project is to develop a sustainable method for the conservation of a unique Ramsar wetland site of Torotorofotsy in the rainforest area of Madagascar. Our partner organization Mitsinjo manages this wetland of 9993 ha that inhabits a signific
ant diversity of endemic and endangered animal and plant species. A large part of the wetland has been taken over by migrants and converted to rice paddies despite of continuous conservation efforts. Other threats to the wetland include gold mining rapid p
opulation growth and a large nickel and cobalt mine nearby. Torotorofotsy has an important role in preservation of biodiversity in preventing erosion and climate change and securing of regional water supply.The main goal of the project is to create a local
-based plan for protection and restoration of the wetland. We will study and map the possibilities and alternatives for restoring the degraded parts of the site in a way that does not diminish the income generation of the most vulnerable groups. The projec
t takes advantage of the work already done by Mitsinjo in sensitizing the locals in more effective rice cultivation methods that do not require the expansion of field area. Mitsinjo has helped peasant rice farmers to form associations and collaborated with
 the local school in implementing environmental education. We want to find out if the badly degraded but still valuable wetland can be restored from a local initiative and without big conflicts of interest. We have been facilitating the re-establishment of
 conservation since November 2013 and deeply involved in the process.Besides concrete conservation work (e.g. monitoring) the project will advance eco-tourism possibilities alternative farming practices and dry sanitation. Establishing an official conserva
tion status and creating a long-term coordination network for preserving Torotorofotsy will be advanced together with the Malagasy Ministry of Environment (MEF) and the regional authorities.The main beneficiaries are Association Mitsinjo local community en
vironmental ministry and officials. The activities of the project consist of workshops technical studies environmental education and implementation of a plan for the conservation and restoration of Torotorofotsy. The project will take advantage of the resu
lts and know-how from the current cooperation project of the Finnish Association for Nature Conservation (FANC) and Mitsinjo (2012-). More about cross-cutting themes in point 16.

Frame agreement with NGO (Siemenpuu) The project aims at strengthening the capacity of ACOFOP's member organisations to prevent and control forest fires in the community forestry areas managed by them within the Maya Biosphere Reserve in Peten, Guatemala. The organisations possess a basic cap
acity to prevent and control the fires, whereas the threat of forest fires has increased during the past two years in some of the areas managed by them due to illegal activity. Hence special measures and additional equipment is needed. The state of Guatema
la has granted community based forest management concessions for the Multiple Use Zone of the Maya Biosphere Reserve in order for the local communities to be committed to governing the natural resources of the Reserve. This model, which has been recognised
 for its environmental, social and economic achievements respects local peasants' and indigenous peoples' historic rights to govern their territories. The communities are granted the right to make use of the timber and non-timber forest products, as well a
s community tourism as long as they respect the sustainable forest management plans. At places agroecological subsistence farming is also permitted. Along the community forestry process cutting forests for agricultural purposes and human settlements, as we
ll as forest fires have drastically reduced. ACOFOP is an umbrella organisation of community forestry organisations in Peten, Guatemala. It was founded in 1994. Its community based member organisations manage forests in the Multiple Use Zone of the Mayan B
iosphere Reserve within forestry concessions admitted by the government. Forest management by the communities themselves strengthens their ownership of the area, and supports the protection of the most significant Mayan forest area. ACOFOP?s role in relati
on to its members is to support the implementation of the natural resources management model, guarantee dialogue between the community organisations, represent them and advocate for their interests.ACOFOP?s mission is to consolidate its integrated model of
 natural resource management, which has proven to be a successful strategy to protect the environment, reduce poverty and improve the quality of life within the communities. ACOFOP?s objectives in relation to sustainable community forest management are: i)
 to strengthen the democratic leadership of the community organisations, ii) advocacy in order for the community forestry agenda to be included in the larger development agenda of Peten, iii) adju
