Involving all stakeholders in the conservation of the Rice Terraces cultural landscape required the strengthening of existing networks, where the traditional knowledge behind the construction and maintenance of the terraces, carried by the Ifugao people played a pivotal role for their recovery and sustainable conservation. As a community organization where 99% of its members are Ifugaos themselves and based on the Philippine Rural Reconstruction Movement (PRRM), a national NGO working on community development projects, SITMo had strong foundations for the development of alliances. It developed partnerships with the national authority and the local governments in order to involve local communities in the process of recovering the terraces and develop sustainable strategies for their long-term conservation. SITMo focused on organizing farmers in the different World Heritage clusters to discuss issues confronting the terraces in focus groups with the communities. All along, archaeological and ethnographic research has been conducted continuously by SITMo in cooperation with academic institutions namely UCLA, the University of the Philippines, and Ifugao State University.

Allocation of a percentage of departmental and municipal budgets to water conservation.

The creation of public policies that protect the jaguar from biocultural and ethical dimensions is of great importance, since adequate conservation is integral.

Currently, we have requested federal authorities to consider the jaguar as intangible cultural heritage and in some Mexican states - Oaxaca - the jaguar has been considered as intangible cultural heritage.

Likewise, we have managed to escalate an IUCN motion that gives a guideline to a continental conservation of the jaguar that includes biocultural and ethical schemes.

It is essential that all governments in the Americas that have jaguars in their distribution protect this species from a biological, socio-cultural and ethical point of view.

This jaguar-human relationship is so important that it should be protected worldwide by UNESCO and declared intangible cultural heritage of humanity.

A transcendental element is education as a practice of freedom for the conservation of nature. Through horizontal workshops, we encourage students in megadiverse rural sites to strengthen their vision of the world in order to transform it, and thus reincorporate nature as an intrinsic element of societies, based on ethics and respect for all beings with which they coexist.

Educators become part of the learners' society and together we seek the process of decolonization of the reductionist thinking that considers nature as a thing, an object of the market, something that can be destroyed.

We transform this erroneous vision of nature with an educational model that seeks to reincorporate an ontological and ethical value to nature.

From the periphery, education incorporates the knowledge of the other.

For Defensores del Chaco [Protectors of Chaco], information and communication technologies are now a fundamental part of the fight against climate change and the sustainability of the planet.

Defensores del Chaco has a team of committed young people with creative skills. They use the latest technological tools to produce quality content, prioritizing what should be communicated and using the tools to create content and achieve calls to action. 

The products they produce involve the: 

1. Creation of a video
2. The preparation of a flyer

Volunteers are strongly involved in communication processes to seek changes in society, thereby fulfilling four functions: informing, persuading, entertaining and educating.

Communication work is crucial for society to find out about and value natural resources, in order to increase environmental education and awareness and to contribute to a better conservation of natural areas.

Projects in this area offer young people the opportunity to contribute to nature conservation by getting involved in the following tasks:

1. Reforestation
2. Conservation of flora and fauna
3. Data collection
4. Tasks involving nature reserve maintenance
5. Bio-construction projects
6. Environmental Education and Communication

Participating in the IUCN Shared Resources, Joint Programme's capacity-building for civil society on business engagement helped the NGOs increase their chances of success, but also to connect with other NGOs at the event. The training included advocacy, building trust with the company, designing a good business engagement approach and engaging with a company in a convivial way while staying true to principles. Through this training, IUCN provided their existing contact with a key person in the company to the implementing NGOs, which further reinforced their engagement.
