  1. Resilience, a determinant of successful socioecological production systems in the SatoyamaInitiativeKalemani Jo MulongoyUNU-IAS WCC Workshop on Enhancing Resilience with Nature: Translating the Science and Practice of Ecosystem Restoration into Policy 10 September 2012,, Jeju, Korea

  2. Our understanding of ecosystem resilience • Key factor for sustainable development • Concept is easy to understand but studies and experiences are required for its assessment and development on the ground : • When can we say that an ecosystem is resilient? • What can we do on the ground and at the policy level to make an ecosystem resilient?

  3. Socioecological production landscapes and seascapes (SEPLS) can help better understand and develop ecosystem resilience SEPLS provide an opportunity for description of factors needed for • Assessment of resilience • Its development on the ground • Its integration into policies

  4. What are socioecological production landscapes and seascapes (SEPLS)? • Dynamic mosaics of habitats and land-uses carried out in harmony with natural processes • Found in many places in the world under different names • Sustainable sources of vital goods and services (livelihoods, survival and well-being)

  5. Objective Realize sustainable societies in harmony with nature by: • supporting and expanding SEPLS • enhancing understanding and raising awareness of the importance of SEPLS SEPLS have proven sustainable and resilient over centuries thus continuous supply of ecosystem services But in recent years, some are being abandoned, are degrading, do not respond to the needs or are threatened

  6. Resilience expressed in terms of trend in an ecosystem service as affected by pressures Fire Flood

  7. Set of indicators of resilience Tools that can be used to: • assess both ecological/biological and human/community resilience • design measures for strengthening ecosystem resilience

  8. Set of indicators = key features that confer resilience to SEPLS • Diversity at the genetic, species and ecosystem levels, in the interactions and ecosystem services • Features of the society: capacity to learn, adapt and innovate; the role and importance of groups; governance types and social infrastructure (e.g. communicationor health services) • Harmonious interactions between humans and nature: conservation of wild/natural resources, or sustainable management and use Diversity Interactions between humans and nature Characteristic of the society

  9. Importance of the set of indicators 1999 Guides or elements • when designing strategies and plans for ecosystem restoration and disaster risk management • for monitoring/assessing the success of restoration or rehabilitation projects and project interventions that aim to strengthen resilience (e.g. rehabilitation of KEPZ in Bangladesh • for policy development 2012 Landscape rehabilitation in Bangladesh

  10. Satoyama Initiative: objectives and activities Enhance understanding and raise awareness of the importance of SEPLS 5 pillars of activities Promote maintenance and rebuilding of SEPLS
