This video presents and overview of the work taking place in the Samsun wetland landscape in Türkiye, under Phase 4 of the Community Development and Knowledge Management for the Satoyama Initiative Programme (COMDEKS). Launched in 2011 as a flagship programme of the Satoyama Initiative, COMDEKS is a global effort to promote the sustainable use of natural resources in landscapes and seascapes with local communities whose livelihoods and cultural heritage depend on them. It provides small-scale finance through the Small Grnats Programme (SGP) directly to local communities, Indigenous Peoples and civil society to implement locally-led projects that improve livelihoods and well-being, conserve biodiversity, address climate change, build resilience and support local cultures and traditional practices. Launched in 2022, COMDEKS Phase 4 is funded by the Ministry of the Environment Japan and the Keidanren Nature Conservation Fund, and is implemented by SGP.
