This article aims to identify and describe key indigenous practices in the woodlot and watersheds collectively known as muyong in Ifugao
communities. Data were obtained through focus group discussions and key informant interviews with selected local farmers in Kiangan and
Hungduan municipalities in Ifugao province. The recognition of the mutual connections between forests and rice terraces as a traditional belief is
deeply ingrained in the heart and mind of Ifugaos. This tradition promotes sustainable forest management as expressed in their respect to
customary laws pertaining to land rights, adoption of upland cultivation practices following soil and water conservation principles, stand
management to promote ample supply of wood and fuel wood, and biodiversity protection. However, these knowledge systems are slowly
disappearing due to the changing needs and interests of the indigenous peoples as well as the proliferation of government programmes to
modernize farming technologies. Hence, the government, NGOs and other concerned stakeholders need to continuously support programmes in
order to protect the aesthetic and traditional value of the Ifugao landscapes.

Forests, and the people who depend on them, are under enormous pressure worldwide. Deforestation in many parts of the world continues at an
alarming pace, the result of agricultural conversion for food and industrial crops such as oil palm, livestock production, mining, and energy and
industrial infrastructure development. Forest degradation is even more widespread, leading to more gradual losses of biodiversity, forest
structure, ecological functioning, and provision of ecosystem services. Biodiversity loss, climate change, pollution, water shortages, and
environmental conflicts lessen the capacity of forest landscapes to provide the environmental goods and services that underpin food security and
other basic human needs. Faced with these problems, and considering their origins, many question whether the science and technology that
currently shapes our lives and the management of natural resources is up to the task of building a truly sustainable future. Perhaps, as Albert
Einstein suggested: ‘The world as we have created it, is a process of our thinking. It cannot be changed without changing our thinking.’

The production of sufficient food for an increasing global population while conserving natural capital is a major challenge to humanity. Tree-
mediated ecosystem services are recognized as key features of more sustainable agroecosystems but the strategic management of tree attributes
for ecosystem service provision is poorly understood. Six agroforestry and tree cover transition studies, spanning tropical/subtropical forest
zones in three continents, were synthesized to assess the contribution of tree cover to the conservation of biodiversity and ecosystem services.
Loss of native earthworm populations resulted in 76% lower soil macroporosity when shade trees were absent in coffee agriculture. Increased
tree cover contributed to 53% increase in tea crop yield, maintained 93% of crop pollinators found in the natural forest and, in combination with
nearby forest fragments, contributed to as much as 86% lower incidence for coffee berry borer. In certain contexts, shade trees contributed to
negative effects resulting from increases in abundance of white stem borer and lacebugs and resulted in 60% reduction of endangered tree
species compared to forest. Managing trees for ecosystem services requires understanding which tree species to include and how to manage them
for different socio-ecological contexts. This knowledge needs to be shared and translated into viable options with farming communities.

EBRD (2014) - Resettlement Guidance and Good Practice

file:///C:/Users/Admin/Downloads/resettlement-guidance-good-practice.pdf
This Resettlement Guidance and Good Practice document is not intended as a ‘how to’ manual with ready-made solutions for various challenges
that can be applied to any or all future resettlements. Resettlement impacts are very different in nature and scale. It is impossible to identify and
prepare an exhaustive list of all difficulties and constraints, as well as solutions. This document addresses only some of the most frequent issues
encountered to date in countries where the EBRD invests and provides some solutions that have been implemented. This document deals mostly,
but not exclusively, with situations where resettlement planning and implementation is being carried out in less than ideal circumstances – for
example, when not all of the necessary data is available or when time and the client’s previous experience with international financial institutions
(IFIs) resettlement requirements are limited. The examples throughout the document are provided only as possible solutions in such
circumstances – this does not mean that they are the best or only solutions, or that they are always applicable. The tools provided also serve only
as examples and reminders of what kind of issues need to be taken into account, and these tools must be adapted to each project on a case-bycase
basis.

Projects in Sri Lanka. Retrieved From: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/322699580
Landslide is one of the major disaster events in Sri Lanka, which has increased its frequency and after it strikes leave people homeless than any other
disaster event. However, setting of pre and post disaster activities like mitigation, preparedness, response, recovery and development have very important
roles in reducing the future hazard risks in disaster prone areas. Resettlement has been a major policy in post-disaster reconstruction in developing
countries. However, resettlement can result significant adverse impacts on the resettled population. In this study, factors affecting to failure in landslide
resettlements in Sri Lanka and related issues are addressed while proposing a suitable framework for landslide disaster resettlement for building future
resilience in Sri Lanka. Data was gathered through structured interviews with implementing agencies and affected communities of selected three landslide
resettlement cases of Sri Lanka. The findings reveals that, there is no systematic procedure/approach used in any of the selected landslide resettlement
programs. Limited studies on climate and history of natural hazards, participation by different institutions in sectors, need and capacity assessment, socio-
economic and cultural studies, coordination among the stakeholders, prevent the settlement in affected and at-risk areas. Rational decision making on
resettlement alternatives and options, safety assessment, accessibility to existing public and social infrastructure and livelihood opportunities, community
involvement in house designing and consideration of socio-cultural values of the affected community are the main factors affecting landslide resettlement
programs in Sri Lanka.
