ANNEXURE-I BRIEF NOTE ON TBGP Objective of TBGP To strengthen biodiversity conservation by improving the ecosystem and the management capacity as well as undertaking tree planting outside the recorded forest areas, thereby contributing to environmental conservation and harmonized socio-economic development of Tamilnadu. Project Management Unit (PMU) A Project Management Unit, which is a registered society, will implement this project all over the state. The implementation of works will be done by the concerned District/Divisional Forest Officers/Wildlife Warden/Field directors designated as Divisional Management Units (DMU). The implementing Forest Ranges under their control are designated as Field Management units (FMU). Component and activities The major components and subcomponents of this Project are as follows: i. Biodiversity conservation Habitat restoration, enhancement & management Resource Protection Reduction of human-animal conflict Ecologically sustainable development ii. Increasing the Natural Base Tree cultivation in private lands (TCPL) (10 crore seedlings in a notional area of 143,000 ha) Research on production forestry/ agro-forestry / farm forestry (10 topics) iii. Institutional Capacity Development Capacity development (23,959 trainees) Monitoring & Evaluation Construction of buildings Augmentation of office facilities & equipment Strengthening mobility Project Management Staff Relevant Sub-components i. Ecologically Sustainable Development Approach: This component is focussed on mainstreaming village level, communitycentred development initiatives into the overall goal of biodiversity conservation.

Rationale: The project provides a major opportunity to develop and establish community-centred programmes that can harmonize conservation and development goals, using the approach of community mobilization, micro-planning and establishment of village-based livelihood programmes. Providing further impetus to this component is the dedicated strategy and programme that has evolved for ecotourism. Strategies Socio-economic and forest dependency surveys of village communities in 63 villages Eco-development activities in villages abutting Protected Area or Elephant Reserves in 30 villages Ecologically sustainable development in 33 tribal villages peripheral to Reserved Forests. Community-based ecotourism in 25 sites.

Target area: A total of 88 villages will be tackled under the Ecologically Sustainable Development (ESD) sub-component. 2. Tree Cultivation in Private Lands (TCPL) Objectives: a) b) c) d) To contribute to the national goal of bringing 33% of the geographical area under forest and tree cover by increasing the tree cover in the villages To increase the supply of wood and non-wood products from private land for industrial as well as household consumption contributing to reduction of pressure on forest land To establish tree-based farming system as a sustainable and viable economic enterprise for farmers To strengthen technical capabilities of the farmer to create farm plantations

Target Area and Farmers The TCPL sub-component is proposed to be implemented in about 4,000 - 5,000 villages in the state. The extent of district wise coverage would vary according to availability of fallow land in the district. The villages would be selected based on multiple criteria such as availability of fallow land, interest of farmers etc. Private fallow land and farm bunds covering a notional area between 140,000 ha to 150,000 ha would be planted with a variety of tree species. About 3,000 ha of proposed area would be covered under short-rotation tree crop mainly Casuarina. The rest would be covered with medium and long rotation crops. Although the component would target all categories of fallow land, it would focus on other fallow category of land for creating compact block plantations. The current fallow category of land would be targeted mainly for farm boundary plantations and inter-cropping (agro-forestry) models. All categories of farmers are proposed to be covered under TCPL. Small and marginal farmers would be given priority in selection as beneficiaries.

Strategy 1) Financial support and incentives for creation and maintenance of plantations 2) Technical support in the form of quality planting stock and planting by forest department. 3) Beneficiary contribution and participation -- involvement of beneficiaries in planning, implementation and monitoring. 4) Cluster approach to village selection for coverage under TCPL. 5) Enlarged basket of species and planting models to suit the needs of different socio-economic, farming and agro-climatic conditions. 6) Informed choice of species and planting models by farmers. 7) Transfer of skills to (women) farmers for nursery and planting operations. 8) Capacity building of farmers for proper management of plantations. 9) Robust monitoring system Process The proposed TCPL process is based on principles of good governance participation, transparency and accountability as well as keeping in mind the practicality and ease of project implementation and management. The main stages of the process are: Village Cluster Selection and Rapid Appraisal Engaging NGOs/Resource organizations Entry Level Activity Preparation of Microplan for TCPL Microplan Implementation Monitoring & Evaluation (M&E)

Selection of Farmers for TCPL All farmers are eligible but priority to be given to small & marginal farmers and women SHGs for selection as TCPL beneficiaries they would be provided the first chance to benefit from the programme. Large and medium farmers to be supported for maximum 5 ha of fallow land. Farmers who are willing to plant at least 50 seedlings and groups (SHGs) who are willing to plant at least 200 seedlings would be preferred first as beneficiaries under TCPL. Selection of Land for TCPL At least one year old fallow land to be prioritized for TCPL More than 5 year old fallow to be taken for TCPL plantation only after an assessment of natural regeneration on the site. Based on the assessment it could be considered for gap planting. Current fallow to be considered mainly for boundary plantations and intercropping (agro-forestry) models Land suitable for dry-land farming to be avoided for growing short-rotation and quick growing species. No pure Casuarina plantations would be undertaken under TCPL by a single farmer.

Choice of Species Under TCPL, it is proposed to have short rotation crop (Casuarina) constituting a maximum of 30% of the seedlings (up to 50% in case of small and marginal farmers) and a minimum of 70% in case of medium and long rotation crops (a minimum of 50% in case of small and large farmers) within the overall planting target. The total target under TCPL would be limited to 10 crores seedlings of which a maximum of 3 crores would be constituted by casuarinas and 7 crores by other miscellaneous and timber species. Proportionately, a notional area of 3000 ha would be covered under casuarina (@ 10,000/ ha and 140,000 ha under timber and other miscellaneous species (@ 500/ ha.

ANNEXURE II TERMS OF REFERENCE I Expected Activities of the M & E agency i. Visit each circle (the State has been divided into 12 circles) each quarter (3 months) and monitor the activities conducted in the sites and implementing units (DMU / FMU). The actual sites and DMU/FMU and the activity will be chosen at random by the PMU and conveyed at the beginning of each quarter. One site (including the office of concerned DMU/FMU) in each circle would be chosen and the field work in each site would approximately involve 3 (three) skilled man-days. ii. Undertake a baseline survey in 60 villages spread over Tamil Nadu to track the outcome and output indicators of the project. The focus would be on the socio-economic situation in the villages. The list of 60 villages will be provided by PMU as soon as the work is awarded. This task to be completed by end of 2011-12. The field survey work in each village would approximately involve 20 (twenty) skilled mandays. iii. Undertake a mid-term survey to evaluate the socio-economic impacts and the project indicators in the same 60 villages during 2014-15. The survey work in each village would approximately involve 30 (thirty) skilled mandays. iv. Undertake an end-term survey to evaluate the socio-economic impacts and the project indicators in the same 60 villages during 2018-19. The survey work in each village would approximately involve 30 (thirty) skilled mandays. Additional details of the survey to be undertaken are provided in section III. II Outputs expected from the M & E agency i. Brief quarterly reports summarizing concurrent monitoring observations. [12 sites to be visited each quarter and first of the report to be submitted by the 1st of the second month for the preceding quarter and 10 copies (with soft copy) after acceptance] ii. Annual reports summarizing project M & E of preceding quarters, crosscutting issues and recommendations, and updated project indicators [First copy by the 1st of June for the preceding year and 10 copies (with soft copy) after acceptance]: and

10

iii. Three comprehensive reports the baseline and the impact evaluations at mid-term and project completion. Each of these comprehensive reports will have individual reports for the 60 villages and the overall analysis report using the data of the various villages. [First copy of the Baseline report to be submitted by 1st June, 2012 and the first copy of the reports based on the mid-term and end-term survey to be submitted by the 1st July of the next year. 10 copies (with soft copy) of each to be submitted after acceptance]. One Copy of all raw data collection sheets to be provided with the above reports. III Additional details to understand the expected activities and outputs Monitoring: The work would involve visiting the specified sites, examining the quantity and quality of work undertaken with respect to the sanction accorded. The visit may also include the examining the status of prescribed documentation at the DMU/FMU level. This will not be restricted to the 60 villages chosen for the evaluation surveys and will cover the whole range of activities undertaken in the project. Evaluation: The Baseline for the project will be developed with the inputs from surveys and analysis to be conducted in the 60 villages. Baseline will also capture situations in control villages for making comparisons during evaluations exercise. The baseline survey is to be completed before to the initiation of project interventions. The focus will be to track the key project indicators. Sound methodology for analysis should be worked out prior to undertaking baseline survey and sampling frame will be designed to capture situations and variability across project implementations sites. Follow up surveys will use same households and same villages. Out of the total sample of 60 villages, Ecologically sustainable development (ESD) villages will be 18 (14 target and 4 control) and for 42 villages for TCPL (30 target with one in each district and 12 control with one in each circle). Use of control households and villages will be undertaken to isolate the impacts of other programme interventions that have taken place in these villages over the time frame of the project.

11

Surveys will also be carried out at mid-term and post project completion in the same areas/sites/households to allow for an accurate evaluation of project impacts on targeted areas and beneficiaries. To enable comparative assessment of a with and without project situation, as opposed to the more standard before/after project situation, the impact assessments and analyses will collect and use statistically robust comparable data from selected non-project areas also. Both primary data collected through sample surveys and spatial data would be utilized for analysis and bring out findings. Appropriate statistical tools and techniques, graphs/visuals should be utilized for present the findings. Preparation of evaluation studies for different components will be an on-going process resulting in a mid-term review, and a final project completion (end-term) review. The detailed surveys will collect data on key project indicators using agreed upon (with PMU) statistical sampling from project sites / areas and districts under the project, and assist with documentation of project reporting and lessons learned. These independent studies would focus on socio-economic dimensions of the interventions planned in the components of Biodiversity conservation and TCPL. An indicative list of the outcome and intermediate outcome indicators is provided below: Outcome indicators Family income of target beneficiaries and non-target beneficiaries in eco-development ventures as well as TCPL Other wellbeing indicators (poverty, human development index etc.) Household Expenses on fuelwood, fodder etc., No. of households adopting alternate and efficient energy sources Extent of dependence on forests in ESD villages Cropping intensity Cropping pattern Area under plough

Intermediate outcome/outputs Number of tribal families in the village (and percentage of benefited by the project) in Biodiversity conservation component Increased availability of fuelwood % of area owned by small and marginal farmers covered under TCPL % of community institutions (EDC/VFC) that could raise funds
