    ENDANGEREDSPECIESSTATUSASSESSMENTS

    Community Centred Conservation (C3) was borne out of the aspirations ofthree young people in Palau, Micronesia, who were passionate about naturebut disillusioned with the approach of large international NGOs, particularly

    the lack of time and funds spent at the grassroots level to truly understandand appreciate communities' needs and fully involve them in thedevelopment of conservation strategies. With our backgrounds in marinemanagement and education and we decided to create a truly grassrootscommunity-immersed NGO which focused on a two-way process forconservation; learning from local communities about their innate knowledgeof environmental resources and at the same time providing them with theinformation they required from collaborative scientific studies to make theirown decisions about sustainable resource management

    Our ethos centres on the efficient and wise use of funds, hence all of our staff are based in our target regions or in virtualoffices; no precious conservation funds are wasted on large administrative offices in Europe or North America but arechannelled directly into our projects to benefit communities, endangered species and habitats. Conservation is not merelyan exciting career path for our staff but a true passion and lifestyle choice based their common concern in leaving behind aplanet fit for future generations of living beings.

    Approaching its 12th year in existence, C3 is now a rapidly growing network of conservation practitioners, living andworking day-in, day-out at the grassroots level, producing credible scientific results, landmark conservation projects, andbuilding the capacity of future leaders and key institutions in all corners of the world.

    Since the 1800s, there has been a one-sided emphasis on conservation of Africa's unique terrestrial wildlife. However, there arecurrently huge gaps in scientific knowledge and local capacity for the conservation of marine species and habitats. This isillustrated by the little-known fact that the most endangered mammal in Africa nowadays is not the rhino or the cheetah, but infact the dugong or seacow. These issues must be urgently addressed, particularly in the islands off East Africa where extremely

    poor island communities are largely reliant on marine resources for food, coastal protection and income from tourism. Ourprogramme was established to address some of these issues in collaboration with local partners in the Comoros, Mauritius andMadagascar.

    A WORDFROMOUR PROGRAMMECOORDINATOR- DR. SYLVIANEVOLAMPENOPHD

    The Northern coasts of Madagascar are known as crucial foraging and nesting habitats for sea turtles andin recent years we have been working to help prioritize key nesting beaches. Anthropogenic activities,including overexploitation for food and trade along with habitat destruction constitute major threats tocoastal biodiversity. We were the first NGO in Madagascar to start research work on the endangered dugong, or sea cow, in

    2009 and we have continued to ensure we are at the forefront of conservation issues since. We are currently moving towardsadopting a more holistic approach to our work in the region ensuring both important terrestrial and marine habitats areconserved together. Most importantly we continue to spread conservation messages in novel and exciting ways to promote thesustainable management of natural resources. We engage community members to raise awareness of the criticalconservation issues in their communities and encourage cooperation at all levels.

    THEHEARTOFTHECORALTRIANGLE

    The Philippines and Micronesia are characterised by the thousands of islands that make up this unique and super-diverseregion; a contributing factor to many of the conservation issues, since effective coordination of conservation plans betweenremote areas is very difficult. High population growth rates, combined with extreme rural poverty and continuingdevelopment plans are putting huge pressure on natural resources and increasing the urgency for effective conservation

    management. Throughout the region local fish stocks are overexploited and destructive fishing techniques, such as dynamiteand cyanide threaten not only the fish species, but the very integrity of complex coastal ecosystems including coral reefs. Weare working to provide a diverse range of livelihood options to fishing communities in order to expand their income sourcesand take pressure off dwindling resources.

    A WORDFROMOUR PROGRAMMECOORDINATOR- LEOREXCAYABANMSC

    The environment has always gotten by well enough without humanity - but the inverse cannot be true.Environmental conservation work in the Philippines is closely tied to poverty. In the next five years, we want ourwork here to be able to contribute to improving the quality of life of people living in rural coastal communities ofBusuanga. This is because while a fisher with a hungry family would not think twice about using dynamite for a living, a not-so-desperate fisher would. People are inherently good stewards of the environment. We have to remove the poverty that forcesus to act in ways that threaten our very future; for here is the most important conservation work our very own.

    THETHIRDLARGESTBARRIERREEFONTHEPLANET

    The Fijian island of Kia, home to our field programme is just 2km and encircled by the worlds third largest barrier reef. The200km-long Great Sea Reef is home to a multitude of endangered marine creatures, including almost half of the fish speciesfound only in Fiji. Conservation efforts to date have been focused on scientific surveys and increasing the ability amongst localpeople to monitor their resources. However, there has been little done to understand and record the socioeconomic and cultural

    importance of these resources from a local perspective. Unique traditional ecological knowledge, which has been accumulatedover generations, is at risk of disappearing if a sustained effort is not made to record and understand its potential forinforming conservation practitioners. Bridging the gap between indigenous knowledge and modern science will be key toensuring compliance and sustainable use of resources into the future.

    A WORDFROMOUR PROGRAMMECOORDINATOR- AKOROKOMATEBSC

    The people of Kia are closely linked to the sea and play a vital role in safeguarding their marine environment fortheir wellbeing. The most rewarding component of our work on Kia is having the opportunity to live and interact

    with the local people at our research base in Yaro Village, learning about the history of the land and people;learning about their traditional environmental knowledge and sharing innovative ideas and alternativeperspectives directly related to their needs. It is the commitment at the grassroots level, from village chiefs, elders and leaders,to individual community members and young children, the future resource users, that makes our work in Fiji possible; for thiswe are truly grateful.

    Busuanga Island, part of the Calamian group and north of the province of Palawan is considered to be oneof the last remaining refuges for dugongs in the Philippines. Extensive areas of seagrass beds andcomparatively low fishing pressure compared to other regions has helped protect this species from thelocal extinctions witnessed elsewhere.

    As part of our initial plan to gain knowledge about these elusive mammals older fishers were selected for

    their great experience living and working in the locality. They offered invaluable insights into changes indugong numbers, behaviour and feeding areas over the decades. The data are being combined with boat-based observations and seagrass mapping to guide local management plans and implementation of anetwork of locally-managed dugong protected areas around the island.

    ANALYSISOFSEATURTLEEXPLOITATION- MADAGASCAR

    We conducted the first ever comprehensive survey of sea turtle nesting beaches in northern Madagascar in

    2011 to identify hotspots for conservation action on which Madagascar National Parks rangers could focus,with their limited financial and human resources. We also carried out a detailed analysis of the trade in seaturtle meat and eggs which led to new insights into market characteristics, trade routes and potentialmanagement solutions.

    We work with communities and rangers of the Nosy Hara Marine Park to protect the remaining nestingpopulations of sea turtles, provide training in international standardized methods and assist with datainterpretation and policy development. Sea turtle hunting was reduced to zero in several communitieswithin the park in 2013 and capture in fishing nets eliminated thanks to our successful conservationpartnerships at the grassroots level.

    In order to get to the root of complicated conservation challenges scientists need to gather dataon the human context to explain what actually drives people to fish in protected areas, use

    illegal fishing gear and capture endangered species despite being aware of the laws. We use acombination of expertise in social science, anthropology, economics and ecology to get to theroot of conservation problems. By understanding the economic worth of marine commodities wecan ensure that alternative livelihood options will generate sufficient income for families, and besustainable over the long-term. In Fiji this has led to community members self-enforcing the banon capture of the endangered humphead (Napoleon) wrasse and respecting the ban on turtlehunting and the closure of Marine Protected Areas. As long as species remain protected, thecommunity receives support in developing new enterprises including a community honeycooperative and handicrafts centre so everyones a winner!

The project involves school visits and interacting with thechildren using fun activities to raise environmental awareness and understanding of conservation issues. Lesson plansand teacher training has been conducted and now there is a core group of 70 Reef Rangers on the island!

    In 2013 due to popular demand, the Reef Rangers programme spread throughout the Macuata province with trainingprovided on coral reef ecology; coordinated beach clean ups; tree planting sessions as part of our 'Recreate a Coast-line' initiative and turtle tagging methods. The programme now has an impact on 12,000 people through regular media

    The trade in shark fins has only recently reached the remote areas of northern Madagascar with middlemen arriving to offer up to $150 for largefins. To a fisher who normally ekes out a hand-to-mouth existence and sells a kilo of fish for a couple of dollars the draw of this lucrative trade isunderstandably irresistible. Furthermore shark finning is still legal so it doesnt involve breaking any laws. The challenges of stopping thishighly destructive activity will not be addressed purely through education; realistic alternatives need to be provided so fishers can earn moremoney. Having analysed the drivers behind the trade and mapped trade routes we are now in a position to work through our local projectsteering committee in Nosy Hara Marine Park to provide alternative livelihoods to fishers including involvement in ecotourism enterprises,switchovers to farming and preservation and transport of fish catches to urban markets, once inaccessible due to financial barriers. Fishers whojoin the programme vouch to give up shark finning and their compliance is monitored through their own community Conservation Ambassadorprogramme.
