1 Forest and Poverty
Activity
Objectives
• Understand linkage between forest existence with poverty issues
THINKING beyond the canopy
11. 1 Forest and Poverty
Activity
Findings
• Millions of poor living in so-called ‘low’ forest areas who rely on forests for a
portion of their income
• High poverty rate is often linked with high severity of poverty (high poverty
gap) and long duration of poverty (chronic poverty)
• Although the proportion of all poor people living in high forest areas may be
low, the absolute numbers will be high in some countries.
• There is relatively high dependence on forests for livelihoods in areas of high
forests and high poverty rate ->to promote forest resources as part of the
poverty alleviation strategy

of Zambia and DR Congo.

14. 2 Forestry and Mining Linkage
Activity
Findings
• There are severe damage that mining activities have caused to the
vegetation cover and the environment.
• Water is polluted, the land for agricultural production is degraded,
natural vegetation and crops are affected, human health is at risk and
forest biodiversity is being eroded

3 Natural Resources Participatory Mapping
Activity
Objectives
• Capturing local perceptions on landscape and natural
resources, and local priorities in terms of development, land
use and land tenure

19. 3 Natural Resources Participatory Mapping
Activity
Findings
• Local perception is one of important aspect in protected area
management
• The maps are useful to communicate between local people,
local government and conservation practitioners

20. Ongoing Activities
• Research data management system
(infrastructure, policy, procedure)
• Data integration (corporate data & research
data) including integrating spatial data with
corporate data
