Subject: Announcing Joint LPFN, WLE, and CIAT Blog Month on The Promise of Large-scale Land Initiatives
An exciting collaboration between the CGIAR Research Program on Water Land and Ecosystems, the International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT), and the Landscapes for People, Food and Nature Initiative kicks off this week: a month of online conversation about the promise and potential pitfalls of large landscape initiatives. The Blog Month mirrors the topic of WLE and CIAT's upcoming Global Landscapes Forum session on the same theme.

Check out the introductory post on the Agriculture and Ecosystems Blog, where you will be able to find a link to every post in the blog month as they go live. Don't be afraid to weigh in with comments! http://bit.ly/1uVyuEH

Please help us engage people in the dialogue by sharing this announcement! Tweet:

How can large-scale landscape initiatives fulfill their promise? Join the conversation: bit.ly/1uVyuEH  #thinklandscape

Can large-scale restoration projects deliver the goods for local people, or are they all sizzle and no steak? bit.ly/1uVyuEH #thinklandscape

.@WLE_CGIAR, @CIAT_ and @LPFNInitiative join for blog month on largescale land initiatives: bit.ly/1uVyuEH Accepting posts! Pls RT

To kick things off, Peter Besseau, co-chair of the Global Partnership for Forest and Landscape Restoration (@GPLFRTweets), is confident that we can meet large-scale landscape restoration goals like the Bonn Challenge. Do you agree? http://bit.ly/1uw8Nsr

Meanwhile, Richard Munang (@MTingem) and Robert Mgembi of @UNEP discuss the policy reforms needed to ensure large scale initiatives work for Africa's farmers and landscapes: http://bit.ly/1tnjh9H

And Georgina Smith (@GeorginaJSmith) of CIAT (@CIAT_) examines the Nairobi Water Fund. She says "a large-scale initiative is the only solution for a large-scale problem: soil erosion" that is clogging the lifeline of Kenya, the 1000km long Tana River. http://bit.ly/11TKnjm

Join the conversation by commenting on posts, or by sending us full fledged responses to publish as blog posts... we're still accepting blogs on the topic through December 5th!


Apologies for cross-posting. Thanks for all you do!

Subject: Interactive infographic on land use and governance in Peru - now in Spanish
Dear all,

We are excited to announce that CIFOR's highly popular interactive infographic on multilevel governance in Peru is now available in Spanish too. 

In this infographic, see the overlaps and interconnections between the roles of different government agencies in land-use planning and governance.

Click on the topics and watch the map move before your eyes. You can compare two land uses to see how they relate – so you can see clearly which government departments (and at what level) regulate oil palm, timber,mining, REDD+ and other land uses. The results might surprise you.


A special investigative feature explores the issues in more details. Read it in English or Spanish
