Co-Management in the coastal Village of Au Tho B, Vietnam
by Bianca Schlegel
Au Tho B village is located on the coast of Soc Trang Province in the Mekong Delta. The mainly poor people from ethnic minorities rely on the collection of natural resources from the mangrove forests for their livelihood, such as goby fry, clams, fish, crabs and snails as well as wood from the forest. For the poorest parts of the population, aquatic resources from the mangroves are the main source of income. With the implementation of co-management, former open access resources are now sustainably used. Resource users and local authorities negotiated together how to manage the mangrove forest and its associated aquatic food resources in such a way that the coastal protection function of the mangroves can be maintained and enhanced and at the same time local livelihoods can be improved.Read more about this entry, view all.Biodiversity Impact

"Hard Rain is a two-part independent production on climate change and human development in Asia and the Pacific. The films focus on how people, especially vulnerable communities on coasts and plains are living with climate risks and already adapting. Shot in Kiribati, India, the Philippines and Viet Nam, the films bring in peoples perspectives from the ground as well as those of policy makers. Hard Rain 2 was filmed in the Philippines and Viet Nam. For Soc Trang it shows the importance of mangroves and how co-management contributes to livelihood improvement and climate change adaptation.
What can help and where are opportunities to move forward? What are the policy dilemmas that remain? The spirit of the film is to be as solution oriented despite manifold challenges both current and future."
