What is going on in Asian Forests

③Commodity & Market issues

Violation of the tights of indigenous

peoples

Further deforestation &

degradation

Inappropriate management of

plantations

Human-wildlife conflict

Lost income by

deforestation

Decreasing security & livelihood in communities

②Local Community issues

2016/7/20 WWF Japan 11

Promotion of international standard of natural rubber and actions to improve production, procurement, and consumption of commodities for sustainability

Actions to make conservation of forests & biodiversity be beneficial for local communities

Loss of Endangered

Species Encroachment by poaching Habitat loss

①Forest & Species issues

Direct actions to conserve forests & species (e.g. patrol & biological survey)

Planned Activities① Conserving forests & species

• By using “trap camera”, researching exact habitat of endangered species such as Elephant, Tiger, and Rhino, and supporting conservation planning of the governments

• Conducting patrol, together with authorities, for stop poaching • Rehabilitating ex-illegally logged forests to prevent further

encroachment

Planned Activities② Supporting Local Communities that Co-exist with Forests

• Developing show-case for sustainable livelihood in surrounding areas of national parks (e.g. natural bee honey production, organic farming, and renewable energy promotion)

• Training by elephant specialists (mahout) for local people to mitigate human-wild elephant conflict

• Training school teachers for environmental education, and enabling continuous teaching at the schools

Promotion of FSC Certification Natural Rubber Extraction

Planned Activities③ Actions through Commodities, such as Natural Rubber, and so on

• Promoting multi-stakeholder dialogue to develop sustainability standard for natural rubber. Especially having dialogue and coordination with Japanese stakeholders

• Develop good management practice to stop new deforestation by increased demand of natural rubber in future

• Promoting “Sustainable Purchasing” which selects appropriately produced raw materials and products Actions to encourage companies to develop procurement policy for

timber, pulp & paper, palm oil, and natural rubber 2016/7/20 WWF Japan 14

Future Plans

Handicraft from sustainable forest resources in community

• The Mekong region (Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand, and Vietnam) has the same challenges like Indonesia

• There are risks that increased demands for resources could cause deforestation and degradation by disorganized development

⇒ Aiming at starting activities in the Mekong region in 3 years’ time
