2017
Yapp, Neville
The Lower Kinabatangan-Segama Wetlands Ramsar Site is home to communities living in eight villages that depend on its ecological integrity for their livelihoods and cultural basis. The presentation provides an introduction to work being undertaken in partnership with a number of government departments to support the local communities to articulate their current natural resource rules and practices, research and map the Ramsar site's ecology, assess the associated threats and opportunities, and engage with the relevant agencies towards government-community collaboration in the area’s governance and management. The presentation includes insights from community members about their hopes and aspirations regarding the area’s future conservation and sustainable use, and situates the work in the international context, illustrating the global significance of the initiative.
