Transformational wildlife conservation management in China (IPPF)
August 15, 2022
This Indigenous Peoples Planning Framework (IPPF) has been prepared for the Global Environment Facility (GEF) funded Project, titled “Transformational wildlife conservation management in China”. Its purpose is to assist in the assessment of potential social impacts to Indigenous Peoples (the term “Ethnic Minorities” is widely used in China and interchangeably in the IPPF). The Framework forms the basis upon which an Indigenous Peoples Plan (IPP) will be developed during the project implementation, to ensure compliance with the requirements of UNDP’s Social and Environmental Standards. The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) is the Implementing Agency and Foreign Environmental Cooperation Center of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment (FECO) is the Executing Agency. The proposed interventions will mainly be done in demonstration areas in Dali and Giant Panda National Park.
The Project will adopt and will be consistent with the following legal framework during implementation: UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP), the UN Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) also known as the Biodiversity Convention, Republic Act 8371, also known as the Indigenous Peoples Rights Act (IPRA) and the NCIP Administrative Order No. 3, series of 2012, titled “The Revised Guidelines on Free and Prior Informed Consent (FPIC) and Related Processes” of 2012.
