- Communities have benefited from new sustainable use plans and biocultural community protocols;
- Communities have benefited from new know-how in agroecological farming and natural product processing, as well as new production tools;
- Duty bearers act for the realization of environmental justice, and environmental justice initiatives in the issues of community environmental rights, land rights, forest policy, food sovereignty and energy policy have progressed;
