Gaps and Needs Potential Actions/ Mitigating Measures
Inconsistencies in policy and laws
o Inconsistent base and subsidiary laws
o Overlapping mandates – main law a problem
o Overlapping roles and responsibilities
o Conflict between laws o Forestry & Infra o Forestry & Env o Forestry & Tourism o Forestry & Economic o Forestry & Land &
Property o Pressures from other
ministries (tourism – different objectives) also pressures from NGO’s and communities – everyone wants to invest their money – building small restaurants or money making activities within the park
Legal base – weak for establishing PA
Enforcement – to address impacts of tenure and conversion
Lack of understanding of DPANP’s objectives
Ministerial Diploma – controls tourism business within PA – sets out rules for tourism development within Park.
Ministerial Diploma to control admission
Improved mechanisms for coordination across government
Review of main environmental and resource management laws to reduce conflict of objectives, provisions and implementation
Law reviews should assist with understanding of the objectives of DPANP – to assist with raising the profile
Gaps and Needs Potential Actions/ Mitigating Measures
Lack of laws and Inconsistencies in policy and laws
Legal base – weak for establishing PA, & needs to be specific for establishing boundaries
Enforcement provisions are weak
human resources lacking to police laws and regulations (eg address impacts of use, tenure and conversion)
Land laws – still being processed – very sensitive issue, constitution says land is owned by state but in field land is owned and managed by the communities
No enforcement (affects policing)
Although constitution says land is owned by State, in field land is owned and managed by communities
Coordination – stronger links to law base
Better consistency between law bases (ie natural resources & economic development)
Land use Planning within Protected Areas to address community activities and livelihoods
No Spatial plans for e.g. Agric extension or land capability to determine potential threats
As above re financial and HR limitations
Conflict between Sectors
SLM Project? Need information for planning and monitoring of socio economic development in PAs
Need to initially be able to characterize existing people and existing activities
Need spatial planning in PAs as well as Conservation zoning
Gaps and Needs Potential Actions/ Mitigating Measures
Capacity for establishing PA -STANDARD /CRITERIA/OBJECTIVES -for establishing Protected Areas -times for consultations -Criteria for prioritizing -Monitoring indicators -Agreements
Lack of finances to build capacity
Need data to pursue categories and priorities
No clear management regime for the PAs
Delay progress in setting up PAs.
No recognition of other PAs (values, needs for action);
Loss of momentum to progress other PAs.
Have own standard: based on experience, expertise and conditions in the field
Some protected areas have been nominated (‘classified’) e.g forest reserve.
Guides and Criteria to determine TYPE of PA
‐ National Park ‐ IUCN Categories ‐ Species protection –
voluntary ‐ Tara Bandu
Legal base for setting up PA
No expertise to progress law to setup PAs
Funding & Human resources
Ongoing threats to biodiversity and land conversion.
Regulation 19 – covers 15 areas
Two Ministerial Diplomas
o Licensing o Natural
tourism
New Decree law to give base to setting up new PAs and give strength to Management Plans
Provisions should be included to address Access and Benefit sharing & WIPO etc– traditional and indigenous knowledge
Mr Gil Land Tenure
Conflict of ideas of tenure Pressures on population
location Pressures on land-uses Pressures on economic
well-being
Continued conversion, threats on biodiversity
Gain agreements with communities on boundaries
Agreements can include enclaves to recognize existing customary land and use
Improved coordination Land dispute resolution
procedures need to be faster
Gain enclave agreements for uses within protected areas.
Gaps and Needs Potential Actions/ Mitigating Measures
Knowledge on how to manage both marine and terrestrial side of National Park
Knowledge transfer Capacity
‐
Lack of nurtured development of knowledge among stakeholders
o Capacity, resources, choices, links to other government dept, operation, choices
Integrated planning
‐ Need to undertake conservation within a broader community development framework.
Conflict confusion
o Land use planning
o Social and cultural planning
o NRM planning
Extension, education and awareness – Mr. Higino Barros
Human resources – Q & Q
‐ As above Difficult to prioritize which communities to talk to associated with PA because they are all important (all 30 areas) – for one person this job is massive!
Insufficient information comes to the community
Developed training materials, awareness material
More resources and capacity to create awareness materials (very high cost)
Use of posters & boards very effective (illiteracy still high)
Gaps and Needs Potential Actions/ Mitigating Measures
Awareness & Communication
lack of Awareness amongst local communities and across government
Limited ability to prioritize due to financial and human resources limits
‐ No consistent campaigns (budget)
‐ Capacity skills ‐ Sometime language
boundaries e.g. Nino Konis Santana NP
Knowledge transfer Capacity : Local community capacity - 40% illiteracy in TL – issue with how people will understand the information provided about the NP
Lack of appreciation of what DPANP are doing
Coordination problems
Community lack understanding
Ongoing actions as resources allow
Improved and consistent Funding
Better Coordination of activities:-integrate with actions of other departments e.g. Education (with curriculum)
Facilitation guidelines/manuals – have large manual – needs to be translated (very important)
Need to continue:- Promotion Awareness Consultation Publications/media
use/ materials Capacity development
and use of advanced technology for communications.
Involvement of local community in training
Human capacity to explain messages and information:- o Need easy
explanations o Easy information Promotion – more
specific Structuring income
generation opportunities vs. General knowledge experiences
Roads : Poor location and bad condition – causes land sliding, effects natural areas, erosion and sedimentation, impact on coastal marine areas, habitat destruction
Invasive weeds Increases
access and disturbance
Maps of PAs, so Infrastructure has to come for Advice
Strengthen the Coordination between sectors
Engage forestry sectors in road planning, construction & management.
Regular maintenance of roads to reduce impacts.
Utility and Service Lines
Need for electrical transmission lines, phone wires, pipelines
Lack of Coordination Plan for major service
lines is poor Community pressure
to the Govt for improved services
Poor location – causes land sliding, effects natural areas, erosion and sedimentation, impact on coastal marine areas, habitat destruction
Radiation impact on human adjacent to alignments
Encourages development
Maps of PAs, so Infrastructure has to come for Advice
Strengthen the Coordination between sectors
Engage forestry sectors in utility service planning, construction & management.
Regular maintenance of systems and roads to reduce impacts.
For those involved in GIS and Remote Sensing work to assist biodiversity, land management and protected areas management.

ANNEX 6: Capacity Assessment for Vegetation Survey and Mapping [Extracts from the Vegetation Survey and Mapping Review and Planning Nino Konis Santana National Park, Timor Leste, 2009. Birdlife International and Darwin Initiative]. The assessment of capacity and function for vegetation survey and mapping was primarily carried out in DPANP office of National Directorate of Forestry in Dili, particularly to DPANP personnel, and in the district office of Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry in Lospalos, Lautem District. The assessment was also carried out to selected personnel of ALGIS, lecturers of the Department of Educational Biology at the National University of Timor Leste UNTL), NGO’s personnel, and personnel of other relevant community organizations. The assessment was carried out through informal interviews Assessment of Quality of Data and Maps for Vegetation Management Vegetation Data The assessment was carried out on vegetation data available from surveys funded by the Darwin Initiative and data from other sources. The appropriateness of the available data was determined using the following criteria:
1) Area coverage, whether the data cover the whole national park area or only a particular part of the area 2) Representativeness of data, whether the available data are representative of most existing vegetation types or cover only on some vegetation types. 3) Mappability of data, whether the available data have or do not have geographic coordinates. 4) Form of data, whether the data are readily available in the form of files or in the form of hardcopy. 5) Accessibility and copyright issues, whether the data are open access (under public domain) or copyright issues have to be negotiated.
Base Map Data The assessment was carried out on base maps available at ALGIS or other institutions. The appropriateness of the available base maps was determined using the following criteria:
1) Date of data, whether the available base maps are up to date or obsolete 2) Form of data, whether the available base maps are in the form of files or hardcopies. If in the form of files, whether they are in the format of shape files (shp) or in other formats. 3) Accessibility and copyright issues, whether the base maps are open access (under public domain) or copyright issues have to be negotiated.
Findings Examples of maps produced from base data and base maps available at ALGIS:
(a) village boundary, (b) overlay of road network base map on aerial photographs, (c) collated composite earth surface map sheets available from Indonesian BAKOSURTANAL, (d) topography map, (e) geology formation map, (f) soil order map, (g) annual rainfall map, and (h) annual mean of air temperature
Among those base maps available at ALGIS, the most useful one, at least for preliminary vegetation mapping, is the land cover thematic map. The map is very general, but it can be used at least as guidance in developing a representative sampling procedure by placing transects and quadrats for each recognizable land cover type. This is however would have been very useful if such base data
and base maps had been collected by project management prior to carrying out the already finished floristic surveys. This was possibly because ALGIS was not appropriately approached or there was not any specific request to the assigned specialists to achieve a particular purpose in designing their vegetation surveys.
Considering that vegetation survey was from the very beginning conceived as a mean to produce map at the end, the available land cover thematic map could even be overlaid with other base maps, for example with topography, geology, and topography thematic maps, to produce a new map of stratified land cover. This stratified land cover map would provide a better basis for designing an appropriate sampling procedure. Data from Surveys Funded by Darwin Initiative As already reported by Mudita (2007), before this vegetation survey for mapping purpose was finally envisioned, two floristic surveys had already been carried out, i.e. one by Whistler (2001) and another by Cowie (2006). Both surveys have in fact produced comprehensive floristic accounts of the vegetation in NKSNP area. The resulting floristic data from both surveys should have been very valuable in generating attributes for vegetation mapping provided that the surveys included spatial aspects in their methodology. Unfortunately, there are a number of factors that mean hese floristic surveys are not of much use for vegetation mapping purposes:
1) Surveys were conducted without prior envision of mapping purpose and understanding on the need of a vegetation classification scheme as an important requirement to meet the purpose.
2) In the previous surveys, both Whistler (2001) and Cowie (2006) had tried to provide some sort of vegetation classes, but such classes were not based on a particular classification standard. In addition, in both surveys, vegetation classes were simply proposed without any provision of a clear procedure on how the resulting vegetation classes were related to the sampling procedure in use.
3) Sampling was not intended to represent any existing vegetation assemblages although for this purpose interpretive materials were available from ALGIS.
4) Because sampling was not intended to being representative, some vegetation assemblages, particularly those in areas with good access, were over-represented while others, mostly those in difficult areas, were under-represented.
5) The resulting data were unmappable simply because geographic coordinates and elevations were not available.
6) According to DPANP staff, GPS receivers were used in the surveys and therefore spatial data must have been collected. However, such data are not available in the report of both surveys and effort has to be made by project management to ask the researchers to provide such data.
7) Both surveys emphasized the floristic composition of the vegetation and gave less attention to vegetation structure. The reports provide some sorts of structural descriptions, but again, such descriptions were not based on a particular vegetation classification scheme and being so, they are of not much use for mapping purposes.
8) Data from both surveys are not available because the project does not have a formal structure with responsibility to manage all resulting data from the three-year-long Darwin Initiative.
9) engagement with National Directorate of Forestry. Mr. Fernando Santana, the Head of Forest Survey and Inventory Section at DPANP, with whom the project closely worked almost within its entire lifespan, does not have any formal position in the project structure and, therefore, can not be assumed as being responsible for the maintenance of project data.
10) In terms of manageability, such detailed floristic surveys by Whistler (2001) and by Cowie (2006) should have been carried out only after a preliminary survey and mapping for the entire area of national park was finished.
Preliminary survey and mapping should have been carried out to provide a general picture concerning what vegetation assemblages are to be dealt with and where in the entire area of NKSNP they are most likely to exist. Or, as an alternative, the project could collect base data and base maps from secondary sources, e.g. from ALGIS that has appropriate base data and base maps, for laying out the basis for further more detailed surveys. Unfortunately, these efforts were not initiated and none of such base data and base maps is available as part of project management. Secondary Data from ALGIS and Others ALGIS is a national directorate with function to provide general survey and mapping service within MAF. Being a national directorate of the same ministry, the National Directorate of Forestry should not have had any problem in accessing data from ALGIS for the project, considering that the project work closely with DPANP. ALGIS, in fact, has base data and base maps more than needed for preliminary vegetation mapping for the entire area of NKSNP. In reality, however, this is not the case. The project has only a number of sheets of hardcopy maps of old Indonesian version of the so-called composite earth surface (RBI) map and some other maps in JPG format. According to DPANP staff, obtaining a map from ALGIS is frustrating because “those guys working there are all our colleagues but they are always busy playing with computers for nothing”. This is not true, of course, because playing with computers is the job in GIS-based mapping. In fact, after a long discussion with ALGIS people, their reluctance in providing base data and base maps is related more on project management issues than on ALGIS limited resources. According to ALGIS staff, the project should provide something in return to those base data and base maps asked by the project. This something does not necessary means money but more importantly opportunity to share the benefits between both institutions. ALGIS actually has various types of base maps to support vegetation survey and mapping. Description on available base maps and their appropriateness for vegetation survey and mapping support in the entire area of NKSNP is presented in the table below.

Among the base maps available at ALGIS, the most useful one, at least for preliminary vegetation mapping, is the land cover thematic map. The map is very general, but it can be used at least as guidance in developing a representative sampling procedure by placing transects and quadrats for each recognizable land cover type. This is however would have been very useful if such base data
and base maps had been collected by project management prior to carrying out the already finished floristic surveys. This was possibly because ALGIS was not appropriately approached or there was no any specific request to the assigned specialists to achieve a particular purpose in designing their vegetation surveys. Considering that vegetation survey was from the very beginning conceived as a mean to produce map at the end, the available land cover thematic map could even be overlaid with other base maps, for example with topography, geology, and topography thematic maps, to produce a new map of stratified land cover. This stratified land cover map would provide a better basis for designing an appropriate sampling procedure. The most important base data required for vegetation survey and mapping is, however, aerial photography and satellite imagery. This is because aerial photography and satellite imagery are the most reliable interpretive materials for delineating polygons to be used as map units in designing a sampling protocol for vegetation survey. Using this approach, transects are placed to represent map unit and quadrats to represent any variation that exists along a transect within a particular map unit. The currently available aerial photography from ALGIS is that of 2002 acquisition which is of course quite old considering that much changes could have been taking place, especially in 2006 when forest guarding could not strictly imposed for the reason of political instability. ALGIS may have a newer aerial photograph or even satellite imagery that could not be confirmed because at the time of consultant visit to Dili the director was not available because of a long period of leave. If such an aerial photograph or satellite imagery cannot be available made from ALGIS, an available alternative is to purchase current satellite imagery. There are various types of satellite imagery differing in resolution and price that is now available in the market that could be considered. Specimen Management and Identification Vegetation survey will produce a large amount of plant specimens that need to be handled properly before identification. Collection of a large amount of specimens is unavoidable since for mapping up to higher than hierarchy III in any vegetation classification schemes floristic data are the necessary attribute for vegetation classification. For this reason vegetation survey will need herbarium facilities and help from taxonomists to do the identification. Unfortunately, no herbarium currently exists in Timor Leste and taxonomy expertise has to be brought in from outside, either from Australia or Indonesia. For the purpose of helping the project in approaching the necessary herbarium facility, a list of herbarium in Australia and Indonesia is presented in the table below.
