Knowledge co-production, management, and uptake for Socio-Ecological Production Landscapes and Seascapes (SEPLS) among university students, residents, farmers, social groups, and social organizations. Improve understanding of the Satoyama Initiative and its implementation through educational initiatives, information dissemination, development of carbon reduction methods, and diverse training activities. The primary objectives include elevating awareness and comprehension of the social-ecological-productive landscape advocated by Satoyama. This involves promoting pertinent information as a reference for decision-making, encompassing aspects such as the value, history, status, positive and negative influencing factors, changing trends, and the interplay between tradition and modernity in the sustainable management of social-ecological-productive landscapes. Additionally, emphasis is placed on the relevance to national regulations and international treaties, with a specific focus on traditional knowledge, innovations, and practices outlined in the Convention on Biological Diversity. The overarching objective is to achieve equilibrium between production and the preservation of biodiversity, ecosystems, and resource sustainability. Consequently, the aim is to develop conservation measures specific to the distinctive features of Socio-Ecological Production Landscapes and Seascapes within designated areas.

Enhance the benefits derived from socio-ecological-productive landscapes by actively supporting initiatives that improve ecosystem services, contributing to human well-being. Facilitate the exploration of innovative co-management systems within sustainable value chain development for Socio-Ecological Productive Landscapes and Seascapes (SEPLS). Strive towards achieving harmonious coexistence between human society and nature in alignment with institutional frameworks and capacity development tailored for SEPLS.

Strengthen human, organizational, and sustainable financial capabilities to effectively implement the Satoyama Initiative. Advocate for the mainstream integration of Satoyama Initiative-related issues and values, and actively promote the development of relevant policies.

Examine both the direct and indirect factors contributing to the deterioration and loss of ecological and socio-economic functions within biological and cultural diversity, as well as social-ecological-productive landscapes. Identify the preservation of existing functions, and focus on reconstructing, revitalizing, or restoring those that have been degraded or lost. This approach aims to sustainably utilize and manage land and natural resources, emphasizing the protection and reconstruction needed to achieve ecosystem restoration for Socio-Ecological Productive Landscapes and Seascapes (SEPLS). The overarching goal is to generate tangible benefits for the environment, livelihoods, and community well-being. Support land use projects that effectively address climate change, provide advantages to local communities and smallholders, and contribute to the conservation of biodiversity.

Pioneering agricultural practices, such as luminous plant cultivation and carbon credit initiatives, are being integrated with regional activities to enhance capacity building and implement on-the-ground activities for Socio-Ecological Productive Landscapes and Seascapes (SEPLS). Our commitment involves actively participating in research and practical endeavors aligned with the Satoyama Initiative. This engagement encompasses individual projects, such as case studies conducted by each member organization, as well as collaborative initiatives among member organizations.

Our development efforts are geared towards enhancing understanding and raising awareness regarding the crucial role of SEPLS in achieving the three primary objectives of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD). These objectives are the conservation of biological diversity, the sustainable use of its components, and the fair and equitable sharing of benefits arising from the utilization of genetic resources. Through our initiatives, we aim to emphasize the interconnectedness between SEPLS and these fundamental goals, fostering a deeper appreciation for the integral role SEPLS plays in fulfilling the overarching mission of the CBD.

We aim to bolster the management of Socio-Ecological Productive Landscapes and Seascapes (SEPLS) to effectively address climate change, provide tangible benefits to local communities and smallholders, and contribute to the conservation of biodiversity. Recognizing SEPLS management as a pivotal component of sustainable development, we believe that well-crafted management projects have the potential to safeguard endangered species, enhance ecosystem resilience, and combat climate change. Thoughtfully designed management initiatives not only contribute to environmental preservation but also offer a range of socio-economic advantages to communities in and around these projects. These benefits may include new job opportunities through participation in greenhouse gas credit programs, improved access to healthcare and education, assistance in securing tenure to lands and resources, and the protection of traditional cultures. Through our commitment to effective SEPLS management, we aspire to create a harmonious balance that addresses ecological challenges while fostering the well-being and prosperity of local communities.
