Fragments of Hope authored this manual (version 2 updated in 2019) to share and standardize our methods used in Belize. There are lectures and videos to accompany the manual and the four day traning course.

in order to be feasible, planning of protected areas and socio-ecosystems must have an impact on land use planning instruments.

In order to address the challenges faced by society in social, economic, environmental and cultural terms, commitments have been adopted at the global level and subscribed to by States in different agendas, each with particular intervention approaches (rights, ecosystemic, urban-regional, disaster prevention and risk management and/or climate change). which of these approaches is appropriate for effective territorial management of biodiversity and social inclusion? All. The reality of the territories is diverse, complex and has very specific problems and potentials, which require cooperative, concurrent, complementary and multi-scale work of social and institutional actors to harmonize and implement the actions proposed in the planning instruments, in such a way that they respond to the identified needs, in order to prevent and manage socio-environmental conflicts, advance in the conservation of nature and human wellbeing.Combining rights, ecosystemic, urban-rural, risk management and climate change approaches is necessary to manage territories in an integral and pertinent manner.

Thousands of volunteer coral reef observers in Colombia report daily with photos and videos. We need to verify reports when they are early warnings to avoid negative impacts. We require specialized equipment for the realization of Virtual Reality and Recorded Reality (underwater videographers, 360 degree cameras and accessories, viewers, editing and projection equipment with internet connection in remote and urban locations where the demonstration project is implemented with healthy reef memories. We plan to share images in the local community, to the whole country and to foreigners in the world so they can compare what is happening in these coral reefs and the rest of the Caribbean region. The Virtual Reality / Recorded Reality experience to people who do not know the reefs / or cannot visit them engages them in environmentally friendly behavioral changes in the implementation of Sustainable Development Goals 13 and 14 and the Aichi Targets 13 (Maintain Genetic Biodiversity) and 16 (Nagoya Protocol on Access to Genetic Diversity).(Nagoya Protocol on Access to Genetic Resources and Fair and Equitable Sharing of Benefits Arising from their Utilization to be in force and operational, in accordance with national legislation).

Point Esperanza was declared with the community of artisanal fishermen and inhabitants of villages near the reefs who are the guardians. Dive operators are reporting their daily observations to the Observatory. We need to demonstrate at a global, national and local level how to monitor with 360 degree videos so that they can interact in Virtual Reality.

Our methodology is based on a combination of Waterfall and Agile is to clearly identify the concrete objectives as well as general ideas given by the stakeholders that guide the implementation of the project to obtain the expected results to improve the effectiveness of the conservation of the Colombian Caribbean Coastal Reefs. The second thing is to evaluate with measurement indicators what is already working. And what we achieve is to involve the community and increase governance by improving the behavior of ecological, social and economic indicators. We will also apply the Agile methodology because it is considered one of the most interactive, since we already have experience in the evaluation of results, we can intervene to improve any phase of the project that requires flexibility in the adjustment, which reduces the complexity, and therefore, the risk.

The Village Savings and Loan Scheme is an IPaCoPA's sustainability strategy where members in their self-manage Groups meet regularly to save their money in a safe space and access small loans from the money collected among themselves to invest in livelihood projects at household level such as Agriculture and Solar energy. Because most individual members lack prerequisites to access loans from financial institutions, the VSLA scheme helps members to easily access finances and secure soft loans under group guarantorship. This supplements TUA's efforts to implement various aspects of the IPaCoPA initiative and to sustain the TUA's already supported projects such as looking after the trees planted and setting up kitchen gardens by households. With our external partners,  key of them who include the District Local Government, UNDP, SAI Group UK, and Jade Products Ltd, we have been able to get endorsements, Capacity trainings, Digital Platforms such as Project Management systems and access to e-commerce, Funding (forexample from UNDP-Y4BF to support 500 youth in commercial farming of Chilli), and other resources which makes IPaCoPA operate in complete ecosystem. 

Poaching poses serious threats to wildlife conservation and efforts at preserving wildlife through the establishment of protected areas are under threat by poaching of wildlife in the central High Atlas of Morocco.  The enforcement of the existing law against illegal capturing, empoisoning and killing of wild encouraged the authorities to participate actively in the protection of wild species and to enforce the law in certain cases. Raising awareness among residents and creating jobs in ecotourism and geotourism also participate in the fight against poaching. For example, in the Ouzoud site, the fight against poaching and the trade of macaques was one of the main factors responsible for the Barbary macaque population increase. We have actively participated since 2008 in collaboration with local authorities in the fight against illegal work (poaching, tree felling, etc.). We worked with some residents to obtain the necessary information on this work. in this context, we took part in stopping certain wild animal capture operations and we released a large number of animals in their original habitats.

Conduction of scientific research on the effects of human activities on wildlife allowed us to better understand the effects of humans on wild animal populations. Today, we are the only who carry out scientific studies on biodiversity in the central High Atlas. The solutions proposed consist in encouraging research institutions to participate in these scientific studies and to study other zoological groups.

Scientific research is essential for conservation as it helps establish solutions based on scientific results. For example, we have shown that hunting currently used in Morocco to limit the growth of wild boar populations has, on the contrary, a postive impact on wild boars and that the conservation of wild boar predators is the best method to regulate wild boar populations. We have also shown that poaching affects populations of the Barbary macaque, Cuvier's gazelle, and of other species. The prohibition of poaching and the sensitization of habitats were the main causes for the increase in  the Barbary macaque population in the site of Ouzoud, Morocco.

This solution emphasizes the importance of the human dimension to achieve long-term success in nature conservation. Its objective is achieved through promotion, dialogue of knowledge, community participation, and self-management. It also functions as a bridge to reach agreements between the conservation vision and the social vision to show that both are compatible. A fundamental part of the implementation of the strategy is education, the creation of relevant and valuable content, and the application of methodological tools that allow us to know and understand the opinions and perceptions of the communities that interact with natural areas.

During cultivation farmers will be involving in tree planting to recover the deforested areas. This will be done parallel to practicing Sustainable Agricultural Land Management that involves recovering of soil and other maintainance practises done on the land surface during cultivation.
