Integrated Landscape Management recognizes the interconnections between ecosystems and livelihoods, such as in these high-Andean contexts where páramo systems are key for water regulation.

Have you signed up for our quarterly newsletter? As we wrap up our programme, we're going deep on the evidence-based learning and reflections from the field. Here's our previous mailer, in case you missed it. Next edition out soon!

🟢 Identifying stakeholders is just Step 1.

Effective ILM needs deeper analysis of roles, interests + power — who can enable progress, who can block it, and how influence shapes participation.

🟢 You can’t engage those you haven’t identified.

In ILM, stakeholder identification is step one – the foundation for participation and for bringing people together in Multi-Stakeholder Forums (MSFs).

This short clip explains why knowing who is in the landscape matters.

In northern #Laos, #conservation success depends on people — not fences.
Through the #EU-funded ECILL project, #WCS Laos is proving that when communities are genuine partners, #landscapes thrive. 🌱

Stakeholder engagement isn’t a box-ticking exercise – it’s the backbone of #IntegratedLandscapeManagement.

From Cameroon to Colombia, our team shares hard-won lessons on how real dialogue builds trust, resilience & peace. 🌍

Respect is the foundation of facilitation. In Zimbabwe’s Lowveld, Lemson Betha and #SATWILD show how humility, flexibility and co-creation build lasting change. 🌱

What does ILM look like in real life?
Our teams in Colombia, Ecuador & Paraguay got honest about what’s working — and what’s not. From crab traps to WhatsApp groups, ILM is alive and evolving. Here’s what we’re learning:

What does real ILM learning look like?

In Cameroon, Burkina Faso & Senegal, field teams looked honestly at what worked, what didn’t & what they’d do differently. Powerful lessons for ILM across Africa.

🐊 Most people fear crocodiles. In Laos, they’re a sign of hope.
The ECILL project is bringing the Siamese crocodile back from extinction – not just as a conservation win, but as an #IntegratedLandscapeManagement success that supports people & wildlife. https://t.co/0JzT3bQUMv

“Keep it complex,” urges Andy Stirling in Nature — and we agree. Integrated Landscape Management means embracing #uncertainty, not ignoring it. Co-create resilient solutions with communities, not quick fixes.

🥞 How is #IntegratedLandscapeManagement like sharing #pancakes in a classroom? 😀
Defining #ILM ain't easy. All that jargon. So we challenged colleagues to explain it to a 5-year-old. Here's the sweetest definition you've probably never seen.

🧐 🕊️Can #ILM be a vehicle for #peace? Kim Geheb contemplates the physical landscape scarred by #violence, and the #sociallandscapes that gave rise to this – but which might also be fertile grounds for the seeds of #change.

#WickedProblems #SeriousGames
Integrated Landscape Management (#ILM) demands more than technical solutions — it requires understanding #socialdynamics, #tradeoffs, and #decisionmaking tensions. Serious stuff, right? Time to play #games!

🤔 What is a #landscape? Merely a geophysical unit? As this video snippet shows, Kim Geheb answered that compellingly while talking about the power of #systems. (Plus: "We produce the new crust of the earth." Why does he say that?)

💡 We're addressing key knowledge gaps in Integrated Landscape Management (#ILM). Kim Geheb argues for a #systems perspective: #Landscapes are #complex systems. When they head in the 'wrong' direction, our #mission is to change system direction." How?

💡 Landscapes are #complexsystems and our interventions are all about #behaviourchange through systems innovation. What can we, as well-intentioned individuals, really do?
Some great points in this simple, honest, challenging post. ⬇

#ILM insights at a glance. In late 2024, our SE Asian colleagues met to learn and unlearn from each other. These sticky notes summarise the knowledge and #insights that surfaced. In their words and their handwriting.

More detail in the coming days.
