UNDP EQUATOR INITIATIVE CASE STUDY SERIES

Local and indigenous communities across the world are advancing innovative sustainable development solutions that woor people and or nature. Few publications or case studies tell the ull story o how such initiatives evolve, the breadth

their impacts, or how they change over time. Fewer still have undertaken to tell these stories with community practitionthemselves guiding the narrative.

To mark its 10-year anniversary, the Equator Initiative aims to ll this gap. The ollowing case study is one in a growing ser

that details the work o Equator Prize winners vetted and peer-reviewed best practices in community-based environmenconservation and sustainable livelihoods. These cases are intended to inspire the policy dialogue needed to take local succto scale, to improve the global knowledge base on local environment and development solutions, and to serve as models

replication. Case studies are best viewed and understood with reerence to The Power o Local Action: Lessons rom 10 Yearsthe Equator Prize, a compendium o lessons learned and policy guidance that draws rom the case material.

PROJECT SUMMARYResponding to deorestation around the headwaters o theNosara River, a source o drinking water and o wellbeing or

the inhabitants o the small town o Hojancha in the centralhighlands o the Nicoya peninsula, local armers cametogether in 1994 to enhance local orest conservation and

create the co-managed Monte Alto Protected Zone. This924-hectare area was created by acquiring land or naturalregeneration or reorestation. A co-management agreementwith the Costa Rican Ministry o Environment ensures local

participation in the areas management decisions.

The Fundacin Pro Reserva Forestal Monte Alto continuesto use monthly contributions rom its member armers

to purchase additional land parcels, adding to the orestreserve area. Alternative income-generating activities suchas ecotourism have helped to decrease reliance on clearingorest or cultivation or the communitys 7,250 residents.

he Central American Pacic Coast was once densely covered inropical rainorest and home to a range o wildlie species and

iodiversity. Between the 1930s and the 1960s, however, theegion suered rom severe and large-scale deorestation and landegradation, stripping away much o the original vegetation. By the

eginning o the 1990s, much o the coastal area had been convertedor armland or cattle ranches. One o the regions most aected

y deorestation was the province o Guanacaste in northwesternCosta Rica. As in other regions, vast areas o rainorest were cut down

or cattle ranching, commercial logging interests, intensive grainultivation, and coee and sugarcane plantations. These land useecisions had predictably devastating impacts on local ecosystems.

Unseasonably long and erratic droughts in the dry season wereollowed by extreme ooding in the rainy season, causing both soil

rosion and water scarcity.

articularly hard hit by deorestation was the area surrounding theeadwaters o the Nosara River, a source o drinking water and o

wellbeing or the inhabitants o the small town o Hojancha in

he central highlands o the Nicoya peninsula. It is estimated thatetween 1968 and 1992, the ow o the Nosara River was reduced

y 90 percent, leading not only to an acute water shortage, butlso to the out-migration o more than 50 percent o the resident

opulation. This migration is perhaps indicative o how muchhe local population has historically relied on the Nosara River or

velihoods, health, and community wellbeing.

A local response to orest and watershed degradation

As deorestation o the headwaters was the source o the problem,

group o twelve armers in the Hojancha community saw thatestoration o the orests could also be the solution. Under theuspices o the Cantonal Agricultural Center o Hojancha (CACH),

hese armers joined orces to establish the Foundation or MonteAlto Forest Reserve (Fundacin Pro Reserva Forestal Monte Alto)

with the aim o promoting both environmental conservation and

sustainable livelihoods. The oundation works with local arto acquire and reorest land around the Nosara Rivers headwa

and supports in the promotion o sustainable incomes throenvironmentally-riendly micro-enterprises and ecotou

Through the environmental protection and gradual reorest

o degraded lands, the organization has overseen the recovean important watershed, resurgence in several plant and an

species, and improvements in local livelihoods.

Acquiring land or conservation

The Monte Alto Foundation was incorporated as a non-governm

organization in 1993 under Costa Ricas Foundations Law, No. 5The goal o the oundation is to acquire degraded land in o

to protect and restore the natural water unctions o the regecosystems. The initiative began as a vision o a commu

driven mechanism where land would be purchased rom armers, hectare-by-hectare, in order to coordinate the restorao degraded and deorested ecosystems and sustainable inc

generating opportunities or the local population. To delivervision, the oundation created what it called the Founding D

Program, which gave interested partners and donors a chathrough which the oundation could purchase land rom

armers.

The Monte Alto Protected Zone

In 1994, supported by the municipal government and the Min

o Environment, Energy and Telecommunications (MINAET)Monte Alto Foundation was able to use this unding mechanis

create the Monte Alto Protected Zone. The protected area locin the Tempisque Conservation Area, Hojancha canton in the ubasin o the Nosara River is 924 hectares in size. The oundatio

established a co-management contract with MINAET that placeemphasis on local governance and leadership in the conserva

and reorestation o the reserve. Farmers interested in selling

arms, the oundation supports them in the development o socio-roductive alternatives that promote sustainable livelihoods as well

verrun with requests or visits rom a range o dierent groups lasses o school children, college and university students, national

Key Activities and Innovations

he central component o the oundations work is land acquisition.o raise the unds needed to purchase land rom local armers, theoundation employs a shared contribution model, where members

o the oundation make monthly contributions o USD 4 per monthnto a common und. The rst purchase made through this und was

14-hectare parcel o land in the heart o the Hojancha watershedrea. By publicly demonstrating that this approach was easible,

he oundation soon attracted local and national attention, whichncouraged more armers to contribute to the und. Within onlyew years, a total o 175 local residents were participating in the

purchase o 340 hectares o land and the management o more than00 hectares o watershed area.

With the support o the Ministry o Environment, Energy and

elecommunications (MINAET), the oundation obtained an ofcialesignation o protected area or the 924-hectare area under its

management. Since that time, the oundation continues to grow

he protected area through the purchase o new land. Acquiredand is either allowed to regenerate naturally or is reorested using

ndemic, native, mixed tree cultures that are ecologically adapted tohe region. To ensure ongoing protection o the area, the oundation

egularly conducts surveillance to monitor or orest res as well asransgressions o protected area rules, such as illegal hunting andogging. In the case o orest re prevention, the oundation works in

lose cooperation with the Hojancha community orest re ghters

brigade. Guidance on reorestation, the restoration o degradedands, and other conservation activities is provided by research

partners.

Expansion o project activities and income streams

and acquisition is a costly undertaking. The shared contributionmodel, while a powerul expression o community commitment,

was not sufcient or the ongoing growth o the protected areand the oundations work. This was the motivating actor or the

oundations expansion into ecotourism, as a response to requests

or site visits rom a number o groups and stakeholders. In 1the oundation began construction o a basic tourism inrastrucwhich has grown over the years to include lodges, an eco-muse

and a cultural and environmental inormation centre. Ecotouhas not only provided jobs and income to various segments

sectors o the local population, but has also enabled the oundato purchase more land and to carry out its orest conserva

work. The nucleus o the ecotourism project is Dorati Lodge, a scomplex o our rustic cabins with a dining room, gym and soeld. A number o amily arms and cottages Finca Ecoturstica

del Calvo and Albergue Ecoturstico Familia Pacheco, or examoer visitors access to nature paths, wateralls, and a tilapia hatc

or recreational shing.

Environmental awareness-raising

The oundation quickly realized that land acquisition, reoresta

and land restoration eorts were insufcient or long conservation objectives. It would be necessary to engag

community outreach and environmental education i conservawas to become part o the local consciousness. As such,

oundation works with a number o elementary and high schoothe communities o Pilangosta, Monte Romo and Hojancha to prolocal school children with hands-on experience in conservation

reorestation. Through a number o programs, school children

supported to learn about the oundations work and to take paeducational activities on the importance o unctioning ecosysand healthy orests to community wellbeing. These activ

culminate in an annual tree-planting drive, where local chilplant native tree species in degraded areas.

Fostering microenterprises through skills-training

A urther activity o the oundation has been to work with tarmers that are interested in the conservation objective

wholesale conservation activities. The oundation works withhese armers to explore environmentally sustainable armingechniques. The oundation has ocused on coee cultivation and

vestock, two practices that can be particularly damaging to localwatersheds and ecosystems. To date, 27 coee producers have

een trained in improved arming techniques, where they integrateermicomposting and organic ertilizers into coee cultivation. A

entre or environmental training has been established which serves

s a platorm or partners to deliver capacity building support.rainings have been delivered by, among others, the National

nstitute o Learning, the Costa Rica Tourism Institute, the Ministry Agriculture and Livestock, the Agricultural Development Project

the Peninsula o Nicoya, the Agricultural Centre o CantonalHojancha, the Pilangosta Coee Growers Cooperative o Hojancha,

nd the Chamber o Livestock. Trainings have resulted in the creation new local collective action and small scale entrepreneurship

nitiatives. For example, to name only a ew o many, two womensrganizations in San Isidro have been trained in apple wine andrat production; a cooperative (the Golden Grain Socorro) has been

stablished to support amilies in the production o grains, coee,

and citrus plantations; and yet another cooperative has emeto coordinate the work o abric, paint, urniture and wood carartisans.

Organizational structure

The Monte Alto Foundation is governed by an assembly o oun

and an administrative board. The ormer serves as a stee

committee, is composed o twelve members, and meets once a The administrative board is more directly involved in the oundat

operations and its ve members are appointed annually. Tmembers are appointed by the assembly o ounders and

Impacts

BIODIVERSITY IMPACTS

Through the combination o direct conservation through landcquisition and the promotion o sustainable arming techniquesnd educational activities, the oundation has managed to

ontribute considerably to the protection o local orest ecosystemsnd watersheds. This approach has enabled the oundation to align

operation o the reserve with the development needs o the Cantono Hojancha, and to consolidate a nature reserve where human

ctivities are compatible with the protection o the environment.

Monitoring through biodiversity inventories

The most signicant biodiversity impact has been the creation o

he 924-hectare Monte Alto Protected Zone. Within this space, morehan 300 hectares o land have been ully conserved, restored and

eorested. In terms o monitoring and evaluation, the oundationbegan ten years ago to orge partnerships with students andesearchers at the University o Costa Rica, the National University

o Costa Rica, and the National Institute o Biodiversity, among oresearch bodies, to begin tracing in a more systematic way thro

biodiversity inventories the biodiversity impacts o the projewell as the number and diversity o species living in the reserve

The ndings o these inventories have shown that a considerecovery o the orest was achieved through reorestation meas

Reorestation, in turn, led to an increase in habitat and theenabled the recovery o local wildlie populations. A num

o species have returned to the area rom nearby orest groand now use the reserve as a reuge and a migration corridorexample, while at the beginning o the project there were h

any sightings o agoutis (Dasyprocta punctata), peccaries (Taytajacu), white-aced monkeys (Cebus capuchin) or ocelots (Leopa

pardalis), these species are now oten seen in the area, accordinrecent inventories. Biologists have also identied a new speci

shrub in the reserve, Stemmadenia hannae, which is ound nowelse in the world, as well as a rare, blue umbrella shaped mushrEntoloma macroungi.

SOCIO-ECONOMIC IMPACTS

The target population o the project is the canton o Hojancha,

which has over 7,250 inhabitants. This is a predominantly ruralpopulation, the majority o whom (84 percent) own and operate

mall-hold arms o less than 50 hectares. More than 80 percent ohe local population works in agriculture and livestock, 10 percent in

he service and trade industries, 5 percent in commercial industries

e.g. sawmills), and the remaining 4 percent in proessional eldsuch as lawyers and teachers. Importantly, and especially in the

dry season, migration to other provinces and cantons is commonamong armers looking or additional income and employment.

Direct and spillover economic benefts

Through its activities, the Monte Alto Foundation directly and

ndirectly contributes to poverty reduction in the area by providingobs to local proessionals and by obtaining all necessary supplies

and services or the operation o the eco-lodges rom the local

economy. In addition to the salaries o the oundations ve ull-timeta members, there is also a regular need or casual labor (guides,

maids, cooks, etc.) to support the operation o the ecotourismprogram, which in 2010 led to an additional direct payment o

792,000 CRC (or roughly US $ 1,500) to residents o the Pilangostacommunity. Also in 2010, ood and hospitality services obtainedrom the local community amounted to 4,400,000 CRC (or roughly

US $ 8,700), as well as an additional 912,000 CRC (or US $ 1,800) ornrastructure materials.

Community-based tourism generates economic alternatives ora population that was largely dependent on livestock and coee

cultivation. Since the inception o the ecotourism project in 1999,he oundation has welcomed more than 20,000 visitors, accounting

or an average o 1,700 visitors per year. Similarly, amily initiaand proessional cooperatives haves developed around the tousector. As one example, Asociacin de Mujeres de San Raa

Maravilla is a womens cooperative that produces vegetables uhydroponic techniques. As another, Grupo de Mujeres Artes

Hoja Arte is a womens sel-help group which makes jewelry witseeds o native tree species. Several traditional dance and the

groups have also evolved.

In 2008, an environmental inormation center was built, at a

cost o 11,400,000 CRC (or US $ 22,600), again sourcing entirely local labor and building materials. The centre has led to higher le

o agricultural production, with ewer inputs and less contaminarom chemical ertilizers. For example, 27 coee producers

applying new techniques using organic ertilizers, which has increated over 50 additional jobs in maintenance and harvesting

The Monte Alto Foundation is an institutional innovation combines local development, conservation and social inclusio

success has been based on the strengthening and accumulatiosocial and political capital with a range o stakeholders, but draat its base rom local community members and small-scale arm

POLICY IMPACTS

The standing o the reserve as an ofcial protected area,

o community will, but with the ormal recognition by the government o a co-management arrangement, is a notewopolicy impact. In this arrangement, power and responsibility

decision-making is shared between the government and the armers that work the land and undertake all reorestation activ

It is worth noting that co-management arrangements havormal legal standing in Costa Rica currently. As such, the ound

actively lobbies various levels o government or a changthis policy. Nonetheless, the oundation has established a stworking relationship with the government and various minis

coordinating their actions with similar-minded institutions. despite the unofcial co-management designation, the Costa R

government recognized Fundacin Pro Reserva Forestal Monteas the best local project in improving its municipal environme

1998, and the best local initiative in environmental conservati1996.

The oundation has also been active in advocating or changthe outdated Water Law o Costa Rica, which dates back to

and which has little bearing on the current realities o watermanagement and resh water provision in the region. F

legislation in Costa Rica, on the other hand, oers a more ruwindow or advocacy and progressive action, as the Forestry A1990s created a number o incentives or orest conservation,

the Forestry Law 7575 o 1996 acknowledged the importancecosystem services to human wellbeing and the threats that

conversion poses to Costa Ricas orests.

Sustainability and Replication

SUSTAINABILITYn its twenty years o operation, the Monte Alto Foundation haschieved a wide range o environmental, socioeconomic, and

olicy successes. Its programs and operations are supported at theommunity level as indicated by the high level o ownership and

iteral) buy-in by local armers as well as the regional governmentnd cantonal levels. Critical to the oundations success and resonance

with the local population has been the simple yet essential act thatand acquisitions and purchases have never been orced or coercive.

Community participation then has been based entirely on perceived

enets and incentives, making or a strong oundation o trust andolidarity on which sustainable collective action becomes possible.

he ecotourism program is the economic engine or the oundation.

ased on ecotourism revenues, the oundation is able to und landurchases, ecotourism operating costs and salaries, reorestationctivities, and its educational work. While the ecotourism program

as a relatively high visitor rate o 1,700 visitors per year, theoundation aims to improve this by 25 percent.

REPLICATION

he Foundation or the Monte Alto Forest Reserve receivesonsistent requests rom neighboring communities and other

takeholders across Costa Rica to share their experience and bestractice. The oundation has been visited by six communities rom

ierent corners o Costa Rica, all with an interest in replicatingheir conservation and ecotourism model. Visiting groups are

provided with detailed inormation sessions on the unctioninthe oundation, oten conducted by leaders o the organizationaverage site visit lasts two days and ocuses on taking the experio the oundation successes and challenges and adapting t

such that they can useully be tailored and applied to the viscommunitys needs and context. During the visit, workshop

held which have oten ocused on the necessity o osteringactive participation and ownership o community members
