Chittagong Hill Tracts Watershed Co-Management Activity (CHTWCA)
General
(Bangladesh): This activity builds regional resilience through an integrated, inclusive ecosystem co-management approach that conserves the natural habitats of the Chittagong Hill Tracts (CHT) watershed. It will provide technical assistance to the Forest Department, Ministry of CHT Affairs, Hill District Councils, Village Common Forest Management Committees, and forest-dependent communities to protect and manage forests and watersheds of the CHT. The activity will implement the approved Integrated Watershed Management Action Plan and conduct natural regeneration surveys to inform forest baseline status, and utilize GIS mapping to identify suitable micro-watersheds for assisted natural regeneration activities. It will continue to raise awareness against forest and wildlife crimes and provide training on climate change adaptation, sustainable forest management, social cohesion, and market-linked resilient livelihoods. Social cohesion activities will help mediate land tenure and communal conflict among host communities affected by Rohingya migration.Protection of forests contributes to the prevention of landslides and long-term ecosystem services for food, water, and livelihoods and thus supports the U.S. government's objective of strengthening resilience to natural hazards. Funding within this IM contributes to meeting the required Host Community ($257,598), Combating Wildlife Trafficking, Microenterprise and Livelihoods, and Gender Based Violence directives. $200,000 biodiversity funds will be attributed to Adaptation Indirect.
Land and Water Rights in SADC Region: Entrenching Global and Regional Policy Frameworks
General
The overall impact of the research programme is to contribute to improved human / institutional capabilities for socio-economic development in the SADC Region (as laid down in SADC RISDP 2015 – 2020 priority area D, special programmes of regional dimension). The outcome of ADC’s contribution is that policy makers and civil society are supported with evidence-based information to promote inclusive and sustainable land and water governance policies.

Towards BIOSmart livestock farming in Colombia: cultural landscapes, silvo-pastoral systems and biodiversity
General
Colombia is the second most biodiverse country in the world with a large rural population of small-holder, low income farmers. As the demand for meat and dairy increases, livestock farming continues to expand onto land that is not appropriate for farming, causing environmental damage through forest clearance, loss of biodiversity and land degradation. Different national initiatives aim to encourage more intensive and sustainable farming that support farmers' livelihoods and protect the environment and its rich biodiversity. Silvo-pastoral farming is one of those initiatives as it combines forestry and grazing. However due to cultural and social factors, in combination with possible economic and agronomic influences, uptake remains low and deforestation continues. This interdisciplinary project brings together cultural geography, behavioural economics and ecological expertise from both the UK and Colombia to investigate the cultural and socio-economic reasons for low adoption of silvo-pastoral livestock farming practices that can support livelihood and protect biodiversity. Through farmer interviews and focus groups and existing socio-economic data sets we will develop and test effective mechanisms through dissemination, farmer to farmer engagement and government policy that promote effective uptake and implementation of best practice. Furthermore we will undertake a large scale field trial and quantify the scale dependent benefits of silvo-pastoral practices and forest protection on biodiversity and ecosystem services to provide landscape scale policy relevant guidance on the optimal approaches to promote forest protection and silvo-pastoral implementation at the landscape scale, beyond just the individual farm. These approaches will help sustainably intensify livestock production whilst protecting forests and other natural areas in order to support economic development, biodiversity protection and social wellbeing in Colombia.
