“…Ting et al (2012), highlights the principle of collective choice arrangement in community basedco-management of Baishuijiang National Natural Reserve, China, which was not running well because the implementation of community-based collaborative management was still dependent on collaborative projects funded by an international NGO. The same case is true of the village conservation agreement in Kerinci Seblat National Park, Indonesia, in which only 43% of implementation of the conservation agreement was sustained for five years as part of the Integrated development program (Wood et al, 2014). This situation also seems to be reflected in the case with LLNP, in which the performance of some local institutions implementing the CCA has decreased after the project ends.…”

The arrangement of self-governance institutions is the main obstacle to achieving sustainability for ecosystems and local livelihoods. The aim of this study was to describe the institutional sustainability of Community Conservation Agreement (CCA) in Lore Lindu National Park (LLNP), located in Central Sulawesi Province, Indonesia. This study applied a descriptive method by identifying and analyzing the relationship between characteristics of the community and nearby resources, as well as the regulations and rules (formal and local rules arranged in CCA), behavior and performance of institutional CCA, and the interests and power of stakeholders. The research demonstrates that high institutional sustainability of CCA is not only determined by the relations among the community, but that it is also motivated by the common interests to preserve water in the LLNP area as a means for avoiding disaster. However, principles of collective-choice arrangements, minimal recognition of rights to organize, and nested enterprises in CCA were not running well. Strategies to improve the institutional sustainability of CCA include unifying landscape zones that describe property rights of local communities within a conservation area that is recognized by all stakeholders and should be supported by formal legal rules.

“…VCAs implemented through the KS-ICDP aimed to reduce forest cover loss by providing results-based payments at the village-level. The agreements stipulated that village members would cease all deforestation and forest degradation and implement a number of sustainable livelihood initiatives with villagelevel funding from the project (World Bank 1996, Wood et al 2014. Trained local facilitators wrote VCAs in collaboration with village councils and village heads to select locally appropriate activities.…”

“…Once drafted, local authorities signed the VCA. According to standards for the project facilitation, all of the adults in a village where authorities signed a VCA were aware of how the agreement was drafted and what it stipulated (Wood et al 2014). Of the 234 villages available for selection in the KSNP landscape 1 , and the 134 villages in the 'park buffer zone,' project managers and the Indonesian Government selected 75 villages (Linkie et al 2008).…”

Impermanence and failure: the legacy of conservation-based payments in Sumatra, Indonesia

Projects that pay communities or individuals to conserve natural areas rarely continue indefinitely. When payments cease, the behaviors they motivate can change. Previous research on conservation-based payments recognizes the impermanence of conservation success, but it does not consider the legacy of payments that failed to effect change. This research assesses impermanence and failure by investigating the legacy of village-level conservation payments made through one of the largest Integrated Conservation and Development Projects. The Kerinci-Seblat Integrated Conservation and Development Project aimed to conserve forest area and promote local development through voluntary conservation agreements (VCAs) that provided payments for pro-conservation pledges and activities from 2000 through 2003. Project documentation and previous research find that payments failed to incentivize additional forest conservation, producing nonsignificant differences in forest-cover change during the project period. To examine the legacy of these payments in the post-project period, this research uses difference-in-differences and triple differences models to analyze forest cover change in villages (n=263) from 2000 through 2016 as well as matched binary logistic regression models to measure enduring differences in household (n=1,303) livelihood strategies within VCA villages in 2016. The analysis finds that VCA villages contained significantly more forest loss than the most similar non-VCA villages outside the national park and greater payments predict increased forest-cover loss in the post-project period. In addition, farming high-value tree crops and cultivating private land were the most important attributes for modeling VCA affiliation among randomly selected households. These results demonstrate payments that fail to motivate conservation risk more than nonsignificant outcomes. This research provides empirical evidence that, after payments ceased, project failures increased in severity over time. Those who design and implement conservation-based payments bear great responsibility to ensure their projects are informed by local voice, align with community preferences, and provide sufficient benefits, lest they result in a conservation legacy of increased failure.

They conducted focus-group discussions with village leaders, farmers and others involved in the ICDP and semi structured interviews with villagers, park staffs and local NGO representatives and District Head's office in three Districts.…”

“…Conditional link between the obligations of the community and benefits is created by agreement with external monitoring and enforcement. If the livelihoods are directly dependent on legal and sustainable use of park resource and services, an agreement for internal control is relevant to regulate access to benefits and prevent selfish behavior [61].…”

Ecotourism helps in environmental protection, wildlife conservation, poverty alleviation and socio-economic development. It affects environmental, social and economic components of the community and the whole country. It has different forms which are named according to the preference of the country. Developed as well as developing countries , such as Nepal, are promoting ecotourism for sustainable development of the nation. Different methodologies are applied throughout the world by different researchers for assessing ecotourism. This chapter focuses on review of ecotourism researches throughout the world. It has both positive and negative impacts on environmental, social and economic aspects of the country. Due to the high rate of beneficial impacts, it is helping in the overall development of the community, country and the whole world. There is need of cooperation among different stakeholders, training of ecotourism to tourism entrepreneurs and appropriate management policy for sustainable implementation of ecotourism projects.
