On 01 December at the UNFCC COP-17 poster session and on 04 December at Forest Day 5 this poster was presented. It briefly describes the ICCA concept and highlights the relationship between ICCAs and forests. It also includes the outcomes of the participatory seminar ‘Do’s and don’ts of supporting forest conservation and restoration initiatives by local communities and indigenous peoples’, which took place on 29 November, 2011 at UNFCC COP-17 and organised by the Global Forest Coalition (Consortium Member).

The seminar brought together representatives of indigenous peoples (IPs), peasant movements, women’s movements and local communities (LCs) to voice and share their experiences and insights into the most appropriate, equitable and effective ways in which outsiders can support the initiatives of IPs and LCs to conserve and restore their forests and other ecosystems. The seminar also discussed successes and failures relating to schemes such as REDD+ of which participants gave recommendations and voiced their concerns.
The poster was co-produced by Vanessa Reid of the Consortium, Simone Lovera and Wally Menne of the Global Forest Coalition and Earl Paulo Diaz of NTFP-EP.
