Customary use of biological resources
|
|
The CBD secretariat concludes that governments should therefore ensure that national laws and policies secure indigenous peoples' customary laws, systems of self-governance and rights over land and other resources. The studies below examine the requirements for fulfilling these obligations in six countries through a participatory review of the customary uses, traditional practices and legal context of their indigenous peoples. FPP and the indigenous communities thank the Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs (DGIS), Novib/Hivos (Biodiversity Fund) and SwedBio for the funding to undertake these studies. |

the Sundarbans: Customary Use of Biodiversity & Traditional Cultural Practices in Bangladesh This report highlights the connection between biodiversity conservation and forest peoples' livelihoods and customary use. It shows how the current Forest Department-led management continues to threaten the long-term survival of the forest and the people. The traditional resource users call for an urgent shift towards community-based and collaborative management of the Sundarbans to ensure a future both for its biodiversity and its people. Dewan Muhammad Humayun Kabir and Jakir Hossain April 2008 |
