Abstract
This Briefing Document presents the outcomes and systematic approach of the first horizon scan on community conservation. The final 15 topics relate to 6 themes:
1) Conservation finance and income (diversifying conservation-compatible livelihoods; universal basic income; locally based climate-smart agriculture and fisheries; changes in tourism and travel; mobile finance augmenting economic potential)
2) Diversity, equity, inclusion, and access (power shifting towards local actors; co-creating knowledge; conservation finance for grassroots initiatives)
3) Global biodiversity policy (global target to conserve 30% of Earth by 2030; global restoration commitments)
4) Human and community rights (increased recognition of indigenous and community rights; growing violence against environmental human rights defenders)
5) Economic reforms (moving away from conventional economics; strengthened
corporate sustainability)
6) Shifting human geography (unpredictable large-scale human migration).
The scan’s rigorous methodology and its results can guide donors, NGOs, governments, intergovernmental and multi-lateral bodies in setting science-based objectives to support communities and nations in pursuing an environmentally conscious recovery for long-term ecological, social and economic resilience. Specifically, the insights presented can support planning processes, strategic discussions and decisions for management, policy and financing. The information here has been extracted from a manuscript currently in preparation by the Community Conservation Horizon Scan Collaboration, a global group of conservation researchers and practitioners, coordinated by the Wilder Institute/Calgary Zoo, Canada.
