Guide to developing sustainable tourism in protected areas “Practical, profitable, protected” in Russian http://baikal.iwlearn.org/en/results/guide-to-developing-sustainable-tourism-in-protected-areas-201cpractical-profitable-protected201d-in-russian The project prepared and published the Russian version of the guide to developing sustainable tourism in protected areas.

It contains ideas, case studies, guidelines and tips to help conservation, businesses, host communities and visitors all become winners. This manual is an initiative of ECEAT International, the European Centre for Eco and Agro Tourism in partnership with the EuropArC Federation. The manual was produced by EuropArC Consulting GmbH, ECEAT – projects and Lauku Ceļotājs, the Latvian Country Tourism Association.

This book is a practical manual on how to develop and manage tourism in protected areas. It is for all those responsible for the management of protected areas as tourism destinations. These include not only protected-area managers but also local authorities, tourism promotion agencies and tourism business associations. It focuses on protected areas that are in an early stage of their tourism development and wish to do this in a well-planned and sustainable manner.

  • Sustainable, integrated management of groundwater and surface water and environmentally sound water protection policy considering ethical, religious and cultural traditions of local societies.
  • Increasing water demand for drinking and other purposes and potential impacts of excessive groundwater exploitation (e.g. groundwater level decline, loss of base flow, land subsidence).
  • Pollution threats to groundwater quality (in close cooperation with Output 1.4).
  • Vulnerability of groundwater and groundwater dependent ecosystems.
  • Advantages of conjunctive use of groundwater and surface water for social and economic development.
  • Influence of the present status of land use and land use planning on groundwater resources quantity and quality.
  • Potential impact of climate variability and change on different type of aquifers (shallow, karstic, deep) and on frequency and extent of natural disasters (floods, droughts, storms, earthquakes).

  • · Proposal of policy recommendations for sustainable integrated management of transboundary groundwater and surface water resources based on holistic, multidisciplinary, trans-sectoral and environmentally sound approaches with the scope to incorporate them into country National Water Master Plan.
  • · Enhancement of role of Russian – Mongolian transboundary water commission unit and address proposals for sound development, exploitation and protection of transboundary groundwater resources in shallow aquifers to minimize potential international conflicts and competing demands for groundwater resources and social and ecological side-effects on populations.
  • · Proposal of design of transboundary groundwater monitoring networks and standardized methodology for observation groundwater quantitative and qualitative parameters and transboundary pollution transport.
  • · Proposal of establishment of Russian – Mongolian GIS databases to facilitate the storage and retrieval of groundwater data from transboundary aquifers for different uses and enhance institutional and legal frameworks to manage, share and use data on international level.
  • · Increase of public awareness about importance and vulnerability of transboundary groundwater resources and propose adaptation measures in the context of climate change influence on different types of aquifers (shallow, karstic, deep).
  • · Enhancement of governance capacities and institutional and legal frameworks in support of effective and sustainable groundwater protection policy based on participatory approach involving policy makers, water scientists and managers, water stakeholders and general public.
  • · Strengthen capacities for the sustainable management and well head protection policy of transboundary aquifers through capacity building and training at all levels to improve transboundary water cooperation, planning and management.

    GEF IW:LEARN Information and Communications Technology Workshop in Spatial Data Management for Asia and the Pacific was held on 17-20 March 2014 (Manila, Philippines).

    Participants were given an in-depth understanding on the role of spatial data management in water ecosystem management and disaster risk mitigation and management using the success stories from World Bank’s Geonode implementation in the Latin America and Caribbean region and experiences of projects from other regions.

    The workshop transferred skills on the use of GeoNode and related open source platform to the participants to enable their respective project.
