• Relevant sectors

Agriculture, forest, tourism, protected area, production and consumption, etc

• Existing policy/institutional framework utilized

NBSAP, protected area zoning and management plan, regional laws on use of local products; agricultural subsidies, local action groups, etc

Overarching principles for successful mainstreaming

Mobilise knowledge towards action

• Integrate traditional and modern scientific knowledge on management of SEPLS

for appropriate pathways for their conservation under different social, political and economic contexts

• Translate, transcribe and transform knowledge through inter- and trans-

disciplinary approaches

Foster and leverage inclusive participation

• Foster a participatory approach to create a shared vision and identify composite or

inter-linked goals that address multiple objectives

• Foster “collective efficacy” through:

– Building trust among stakeholders – Identifying relevant institutions and define roles – Engaging higher political systems and get feedback – Encouraging cross-learning among communities and stakeholders for development of capacities and to raise awareness

Adaptive planning and management of activities

• Establish long-term monitoring and periodic review
• Make sure replication efforts are flexible
