Defining and doing mainstreaming …involves the integration of biodiversity values and goals…into economic sectors Spread the burden and benefits…form partnerships… devise ’win-win’ scenarios Change behaviour by creating institutions that bind actors Interventions may happen at all scales of organization and geography – employ the ‘nutcracker’ approach Easier to achieve in some situations than others Defining outcomes needs attention

Sector Prerequisites Stimuli Mechanisms Outcomes MAINSTREAMING

Elements associated with three components of a mainstreaming framework PrerequisitesStimuliMechanisms Democratic and accountable governance Awareness and knowledge Organizational and institutional capacity Improved governance Resource decline Socio-economic incentives Effective communication Strengthening organizational and institutional capacity Enabling legislation and policy
12
Constraints Behaviour: awareness, knowledge and pro-nature Values doesn’t lead to behaviour change Poor governance Weak capacity of organizations and institutions Lack of scientific know how Dwindling awareness
13
Conclusions Don’t underestimate the difficulties of achieving mainstreaming in the context of a market-driven perpetual-growth economy Making biodiversity the mainstream will require innovation, flexibility, opportunism, reflection and patience
