Report of the Cross Cutting Theme
The theme
of communities, equity and PAs aimed at identifying indigenous and
local communities’ rights and responsibilities in PA management.
Key focus areas included moving towards co-management of PAs, and
recognizing the full range of CCAs within and outside government-designated
PAs.
Participants
addressed the theme over more than 20 sessions, including on: governance
of PAs; PAs and poverty; the role of communities and mobile peoples
in sustaining linkages in the landscape and seascape; tourism and
communities; customary law and governance; meeting communities’
needs in management effectiveness evaluation; the need for comprehensive
PA systems; creating co-existence between humans and wildlife; empowering
the rural poor for PA conservation and management; governance and
State recognition of communities’ territories and resources;
constraints and viability of territories and resources traditionally
conserved by mobile peoples; developing capacity for site-level
planning, management and monitoring; tenure arrangements and indigenous
rights; livelihoods, agro-biodiversity and landscape conservation
for communities’ territories and resources; territories and
resources traditionally conserved by mobile peoples in partnership
with governments; incentives for conservation and fair reward for
stewardship; the shift from conflict to collaboration for territories
and resources conserved by communities in partnership with governments
and other stakeholders; communities’ role in sustainable finance;
culture, rights, legislation, policy and capacities for effective
community conservation; and a new dimension for the classification
of PAs.
The stream’s
main recommendations included: moving existing government-designated
PAs towards collaborative management by full and equitable communities’
participation in decision making; recognizing CCAs as a legitimate
and effective tools for conservation; addressing restitution of
rights, responsibilities and compensation at the national and international
levels, including through the establishment of a truth and reconciliation
commission; integrating cultural diversity and survival as key objectives
and strategies for PAs; distributing PA costs and benefits more
equitably, through securing local livelihoods and revenues, and
encouraging ecologically and culturally sensitive tourism; focusing
on the needs of disadvantaged people, including mobile and indigenous
peoples, the landless, and women and youth.
The theme
adopted four recommendations on indigenous peoples and PAs, co-management
of PAs, CCAs, and mobile indigenous peoples and conservation.

Seven
Workshop Streams will be conducted over 3 days
in workshop plenaries and smaller break out groups. Three
important areas have also been identified which cut across
the 7 workshop streams. The Cross
Cutting Themes will be expected to produce specific
Congress outputs. Congress participants who have a special
interest in these themes may follow an interest thread
throughout the programme.There is also a workshop
on Mountains which will be held before the Congress.
