With a view to perfectly replicating the restoration model in the field, with the aim of having a single basis for assessing the plantations of beneficiary households and the contribution of local expertise, the F4F project has set up a group of actors known as "Encadreur ou Ambassadeur". These are 23 young people from the project's 5 cantons who have been trained and equipped in the restoration model. Their task is to support each beneficiary household in carrying out planting activities. The households' contribution (20%) consisted of site preparation work, finding stakes and staking, planting and maintaining the seedlings. The project plans to award prizes to encourage the best households.

To achieve the objective of mobilizing all social strata, in particular young people and women, the F4F project has opted for the production of seedlings (required for restoration) by local village nurseries. This option has the advantage of avoiding the long distances involved in transporting seedlings, and above all of helping to increase the incomes of young people and women. In addition to the 8 nursery groups, F4F proposed to encourage and support other nursery groups, bringing the total to 18 groups spread across the 5 project cantons. The 18 groups were trained (2 members per group) and provided with production inputs (seeds and nursery equipment). Each group received close advisory support and financial backing for the production of higher-quality seedlings. The seedlings produced were transported by the same actors to the restoration sites during planting activities.

The agroforestry ecosystem restoration model proposed by the F4F-GIZ-DFS project is the fruit of a concept note validated by the relevant technical departments of the Ministries of Agriculture and the Environment, and by local authorities and grassroots communities. It involves the establishment of agro-forestry plantations on the plots of land of households that have voluntarily agreed, with the consent of the landowners, to put at least 0.5 ha of their farmland under restoration, while continuing agricultural production on the restored plot. The aim of these plantations is to increase crop yields, the carbon sequestration capacity of agroforestry parks and the income of beneficiary households, for greater socio-economic and environmental well-being in the Tchamba prefecture.

Using a participatory, inclusive and non-discriminatory approach, beneficiary households are identified through awareness-raising workshops in all project villages. The principle is voluntary and unconstrained, and includes the restoration of at least 0.5 ha of cultivated land capital for each farming household. Each plot is inventoried, geolocated and mapped. The condition of each plot (cultivation history, yield, trees present, etc.) is established and well documented. The restoration of the plot is carried out bilaterally, with each party contributing its share: the project 80% (payment of ambassadors, provision of seedlings, contribution to site preparation, etc.) and the household 20% (in kind, search for stakes, planting, maintenance of the plantation).

Import the raw data of sound into Adobe Audition 3.0 or Avisoft-SASLab Pro sound analysis software, resampled (Sample size: 44100 Hz; Window size: 1024 points), and then saved separately in WAV format. High-quality waveforms and sonograms were selected to measure characteristics of Hainan gibbons’ calls, to analyze the differences in acoustic indexes between individuals, and to build a database of Hainan gibbon sound patterns on an individual basis. Then, perform individual sound recognition using the implemented sound recognition model. Finally, the effectiveness of the sound acquisition is evaluated, and the accuracy of the sound recognition is assessed. Among them, the evaluation of the sound recognition effect is done mainly by comparing with the field research and other sound monitoring results.

Based on the research results, combined with the coverage of 4G signal, a set of domestic automatic sound recording equipment with 4G signal, which has a real-time transmission function (product model: LBird-01211) was installed in the typical environment of Hainan gibbons in the Bawangling Reserve.  

The Creole Language Academy is the authorised body to approve new words into the Creole language. Officially, the collaboration with them was essential to elgitimise the exercise and to obtain official new words and terms for seagrass. On the other hand, the Academy's input was essential in ensuring that the cultural element of the naming process was maintained.

A nation-wide survey was carried out to reach different groups of the general public. The survey served two functions, 1. to gather information and 2. to engage people to understand what the exercise was about and to raise awareness on seagrass. Survey could be accessed on line via the website but was promoted on the radio, print media and social media.

From late November 2021 to early December 2021, the Hainan Institute of National Park (HINP) conducted field research in and around the five family groups (group A - E) of gibbons in the reserve with the participation of relevant experts and staff from the Bawangling Reserve. The research has set up 8 stationed sites and 21 surveillance sites, covering the habitat of each Hainan gibbon population, with 48 team members participating simultaneously.

A number of different reptile species are farmed in Vietnam, ranging from small turtles and lizards to large pythons and crocodiles. Production scales are equally diverse, ranging from micro to industrial factory farms. Market entry requirements for some species are minimal, and many production models can be synergised with existing livelihood strategies at minimal cost. For example, snake farming can compliment seasonal rice growing via free ecological pest management (i.e., harvesting rodent pests to feed farmed snakes).
