STORYLINES: WHAT CSOs DO AND HOW THEY GO ABOUT IT

CORE MOTIVATION: WHY CSOs WORK ON

FORESTS AND WHO/WHAT THE WORK IS

FORCORE STRATEGY

PART ONE: STORYLINES MAP

OVERVIEW: Why do different parts of the CSO community think it is important to save the rainforest? This summary sheet unpacks their main motivations, and classifies CSOs according to various 'storylines', which relate to their organisational roles and beliefs, akin to niches within an ecosystem. The columns headed in pale blue consider what motivates these CSOs to try and curb deforestation, and the two pink columns give an indiction of whether they are 'insiders' or 'outsiders' in terms of their engagement with key institutions.

KEY: Spheres • indicate the storylines, motivation, and core strategy of each CSO. A single CSO may belong in up to three storyline columns, but only one motivation column, and only one core strategy column.

PART TWO: PATHWAYS MAP

PATHWAY 1: PAYMENTS FOR CARBON AND OTHER ECOSYSTEM SERVICES

THEORY OF CHANGE: "Deforestation will decrease if nations are able to earn income from living trees"Creating and deploying new sources of finance for forest protection is an area of signficant CSO activity. The rationale for much of this innovation is that society should pay for ecosystem services provided by healthy forests. Payments for forest carb on via REDD (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation) are the best known example, but water and soil services could also be compensated. (Note also the pro ject-based conservation finance models described in Pathway 2).

There are significant divisions, some of them ideological, among the CSO community on how to generate, administer and distrib ute this income, and upon the very principle of turning ecosystem services into tradeable commodities.

KEY: Spheres • indicate the level of engagement of a CSO in a given issue or approach. Lighter shading and one sphere • indicates low level engagement, medium shading and two spheres shows medium -level engagement, and three spheres ••• and dark shading shows strong engagement.

Columns coloured orange indicate an important 'faultline' in the CSO community, in this pathway regarding the trading of for est carbon credits. CSOs shaded in RED OPPOSE the rapid integration of forest credits into carbon markets. CSOs shaded in GREEN SUPPORT the rapid integration of forest credits into carbon markets. CSOs shaded in YELLOW may CONDITIONALLY SUPPORT rapid integration, if stretching safeguards were in place. The number of spheres indicates how st rongly they hold these positions.

Columns coloured in blue show that the issue is strongly associated with questions of Rights and Governance.

PATHWAY 2: BIODIVERSITY CONSERVATION AND COMMUNITY FOREST MANAGEMENT

THEORY OF CHANGE: "Deforestation will decrease through protecting areas of high biodiversity value, and by aligning the economic interests of local communities with forest conservation" Older, top-down conservation models are evolving into more community-centred approaches, with an emphasis on making conservation 'pay its way' and a recognition that the marginalisation of forest peoples must end for them to act as effective forest guardians. Capacity-building and practical projects are hallmarks of this pathway. It also involves creating new sources of conservation finance (see also payments for carbon and other ecosystem services described in Pathway 1).

KEY: Spheres • indicate the level of engagement of a CSO in a given issue or approach. Lighter shading and one sphere • indicates low level engagement , medium shading and two spheres shows medium-level engagement, and three spheres ••• and dark shading shows strong engagement.

PATHWAY 3: COMMODITIES SUPPLY AND DEMAND

THEORY OF CHANGE: "Deforestation will decrease if investors, shareholders, trading partners and consumers demand supply chain reform" CSOs in this community may encourage companies to adopt minimum standards for commodity production, help develop and police these standards, and seek government action as well.

This pathway deals primarily with the size, shape and standards of global commodity markets. See Pathway 4 for more on the ph ysical infrastructure that enables the production of commodities in the first place.

KEY: Spheres • indicate the level of engagement of a CSO in a given issue or approach. Lighter shading and one sphere • indicates low level engagement , medium shading and two spheres shows medium -level engagement, and three spheres ••• and dark shading shows strong engagement.

Columns coloured orange indicate two important 'faultlines' in the CSO community within this pathway, regarding a) the devel opment of biofuels and b) the approach to certification systems designed to reduce deforestation associated with commodity prod uction. As regards biofuels,CSOs shaded in RED generally OPPOSE existing policies to increase biofuels use. YELLOW shading indicates CSOs that may CONDITIONALLY SUPPORT biofuels development, if the right safeguards are in place.

As regards product certification schemes, CSOs shade in RED play a WATCHDOG role against weak or poorly enforced standards. CSOs shaded in GREEN are more closely associated with the DESIGN or IMPLEMENTATION of certification standards.

PATHWAY 4: DEVELOPMENT FINANCE

THEORY OF CHANGE: "Deforestation will decrease if environmental and social impacts are worked into assessments of large -scale infrastructure projects"CSOs in this community typically highlight large transport, mining, logging and agricultural schemes likely to catalyse furth er deforestation. CSOs seek to minimise the impacts of individual projects, and/or to bring about systemic reform in project f inance policy and institutions. This pathway deals with the building of infrastructure required to bring commodities to market, e.g. oil pipelines, timber mills a nd agricultural processing facilities. See Pathway 3 for more information on markets for the finished commodities.

KEY: Spheres • indicate the level of engagement of a CSO in a given issue or approach. Lighter shading and one sphere • indicates low level engagement , medium shading and two spheres shows medium-level engagement, and three spheres ••• and dark shading shows strong engagement.

Columns coloured orange indicate an important 'faultline' in the CSO community, in this pathway regarding engagement with mul tinational corporations.
