From the Experiences of Sabah to Figure out the Potentials and Challenges to Implement ICCAs in Taiwan – The Case Studies of Stream Conservation. / 從沙巴經驗看台灣推行原住民與社區保育區的潛力與挑戰-以封溪護漁為例

碩士 / 國立臺灣大學 / 森林環境暨資源學研究所 / 101 / Indigenous & Community Conserved Area (ICCA) is a policy tool promoted by the international conservation community for community governance on habitat conservation in recent years, which have been recognized and supported by many State governments and authorities. A ICCA means the natural and/or modified ecosystems containing biodiversity values, ecological services, and cultural values, voluntarily conserved by indigenous and/or other communities through customary laws or other effective ways. We also have a few cases of community-based conservation in Taiwan in which the type of stream conservation is the most popular one that similar with the inland fishery ICCA in Sabah, Malaysia. Aiming to explore the potential and challenges of Taiwan to implement ICCAs, this study compared and analyzed 2 cases of inland fishery ICCAs in Sabah and the case of Lunpi tribe in Taiwan. The results show: 1. There are several influential factors to support community governance on streams and their fresh-water fishery resources, which include, the strong leadership led by local elites and head persons, common values and objectives of villagers, integration of traditional social norm and modern institutions, effective regulations and punishment, equity, public participation, and community capacity. 2. Regarding legislation and policies,while there are the native court and Sabah Inland Fisheries Aquaculture Enactment 2003 to support the indigenous community governance on inland fishery in Sabah, we couldn’t have sufficient recognition and supports by the government on the stream conservation, neither the empowerment of community. 3. About external supports: As it plays a key role on assisting and promoting inland fishery ICCAs for the conservation and development non-profit organizations in Sabah, for example, the Partners of Community Organisations in Sabah (PACOS), we have abundant fund sponsored by the community programs of the government in Taiwan. Generally, there is potential to implement ICCAs in Taiwan considering the power and capacity of local communities. Nevertheless, it needs improve the institutional arrangement of recognition and external supports to send the jurisdictions for the communities to govern natural resources, and to empower local communities for capacity building.
