Six Monthly Technical Progress Report July 2011December ... - WWF

Progress
Dependent
upon
results
of
the
biodiversity
surveys
(summarized
above),
a
focal
suite
of
priority
species
for
monitoring,
and
monitoring
methodologies,
will
be
developed.
However,
preliminary
protocols
for
occupancy
monitoring
of
large
ungulates
based
on
MIST
enforcement
ranger
activities
and
occupancy
monitoring
of
Nomascus
gibbon
have
been
developed.
These
protocols
will
be
implemented
within
Xe
Sap
NPA
during
2012/2013.

By
3
months
after
project
start:
10
key
target
villages
have
been
selected
for
interventions.
Progress
10
target
villages
have
been
identified:
3
in
Kaleum,
2
inTaoi
and
5
in
Samoi.
The
7
villages
in
Saravanh
have
been
approved
by
the
District
Governors
while
the
3
villages
in
Xekong
still
need
Governor
approval.
Intermediate
result
2.11
By
7
months
after
project
start:
one
target
village
(selected
as
a
model)
has
signed
a
biodiversity
agreement,
and
has
begun
with
implementation.
Progress
The
design
for
PRA
for
the
target
villages
has
been
completed.
The
appraisals
will
be
conducted
in
the
coming
months.
There
was
a
slow
start
to
community
engagement
due
to
a
lack
of
capacity,
and
understanding
of
community
agreements.
Proposed
solution
PA
Technical
Advisor
will
support
VFI
(Community
Conservation
Partner)
in
understanding
and
implementing
Community
Conservation
Agreements
(CCA).
It
is
still
hoped
to
partially
realize
this
target
by
the
end
of
January
2012,
but
implementation
will
only
commence
in
February/March
2012.
Intermediate

agreements,
and

Progress
The
same
process
followed/to
be
followed
for

will
be
applied
to

the
additional
villages.
