CRS InFocus Report: 'Fire and Deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon'

Another great two-pager from CRS: Fire and Deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon by Pervaze A. Sheikh, Peter J. Meyer, Kezee Procita, and Katie Hoover.

Download CRS_InFocus_Fire_Deforest_Amazon_9Sept2019

Introduction
Media coverage of fires in the Brazilian Amazon forest is widespread. According to stakeholders, this media coverage is largely due to an increase in fire events and deforestation rates in the region this year compared to the past years, as well as statements made by Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro indicating his intent to pursue development in the region. 

The Amazon forest (Amazon) extends through several countries in South America, including Peru, Bolivia, and Colombia, with approximately 62% of the Amazon located in Brazil (Figure 1). The Amazon is estimated to contain one-half of all global terrestrial carbon in tropical forests and consists of approximately 40% of all remaining tropical rainforests, according to scientific studies. The fate of the Amazon is a concern for many because of the biodiversity it hosts, its role in the global carbon cycle, and its effect on regional climate. Some scientists claim that 20%-25% deforestation in the Amazon can cause it to shift to a nonforest ecosystem, exacerbating the concerns above. 

Be sure to read the entire brief.

Central Asia Water Smorgasbord: Four 2008-2010 Publications for Your Reading Pleasure!

Here are four publications (two papers and two collections) dealing with Central Asia water issues that have come my way in the past two weeks. Each is about 10 years old - dating from the 2008 - 2010 period. All the graphics and the quote at the bottom are from publication (1). 

1) Water – A Source of Conflict or Cooperation in Central Asia by Yana Grevtseva

This paper is a Master's project by Yana Grevtseva when she was a student at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia. 

Download Water_A_Source_of_Conflict_or_Cooperation

Abstract
The issue of water is emerging as one of the most talked about
topics in contemporary international relations with resource
security recently gaining prominence within ‘high politics’. This is
especially so in Central Asia where the countries of the region
have been faced with a serious depletion of water in the Aral Sea
Basin. As a result, several international and regional initiatives
have been developed by newly established institutions seeking to
minimise the risk of water related competition amongst regional
states. Scholars have tended to argue against the ‘water wars’
hypothesis, believing that market forces and institutions will
conspire to prevent the eruption of conflict. However, the case of
Central Asia shows that the market will also continue to drive the
region’s state sponsored cotton-economy as well as
authoritarianism in an independent, state-centric Central Asia, all
of which portend growing tensions over rapidly diminishing water
supply. This paper will reflect on recent developments and offer a
theoretical framework that leads to the conclusion that the
potential for conflict resulting from water allocation disputes is
likely to increase.

2) Central Asian Waters: Social, Economic, Environmental and Governance Puzzle edited by M. M. Rahaman and O. Varis.

Download Central_Asian_Waters_Social_Economic_Environmental an

Foreword
It was in 1986 that we took a train from Helsinki to Moscow. Our plan was to travel around Central Asia and get acquainted with water management in that part of the USSR. One of our particular interests was to get a view on what was going on with the Aral Sea – there were some rumors and even news about the environmental disaster but a clear picture was missing at the international arena.

In Moscow, we were privileged to have meetings with distinguished Soviet water specialists such as Professors V. Voropayev and M. Khublaryan who were modest in describing what was going on in with the Aral Sea but the solution was clearly outspoken; the region needed large-scale water transfers from the Northern rivers, most preferably from Ob-Irtysh through Volga. Otherwise, there would be a massive catastrophe with millions of migrants away from the area.

The solutions became very different than planned those days of Perestroika. In fact, it seems that the solutions have by and large not really been found yet; the catastrophe remains. 

On our trip with a team that dominantly consisted of water engineering students – among them one of the two editors of this book, Olli Varis as a young postgraduate student – we had no way to the Aral Sea but saw and heard many things. The region was and is rich with ages-old wisdom and culture. It strived to modernize its economy with massive agricultural systems and other water-related means. Many things wentwell we heard but we also already knew that many went totally wrong too.

Looking back is easy of course but looking forward is far more difficult. Central Asia needs solutions and new insights to its development and for its water sector. We at the University tend to believe in an optimistic way that we must give all the means that we can for the young generation and they most probably will beable to make things better than what they are now. Such is the history of this book too.

In autumn 2007, we organized a course at Helsinki University of Technology on Global Water Issues, with a special topic on the Central Asian water problems. This course has, over the years, targeted various regions, from China to Middle East and North Africa. The course on Central Asia was quite productiveand nice, and as one of the consequences, to our positive surprise, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Finlandasked for our willingness to take over the Finnish component of their co-operation with Global Water Partnership and Interstate Commission for Water Coordination of Central Asia. We accepted this offer with great pleasure.

Along with the University’s mandate, we thought to propose the distinguished partners to organize a seminar in the region with the scope to involve young water professionals from Finland and from the region to deliberate the water challenges of Central Asia. The partners were fond of this idea and consequently, the seminar will take place in Dushanbe, Tajikistan, in late November 2008 with a background document which is the book in hand.

I sincerely hope that this contribution is useful to the region’s water colleagues and will bring the attention of the young water professionals to this highly attractive region and to the region’s water challenges in a solution-seeking way.

3) Water Resources Management in Central Asia: Regional and International Issues at Stake by U. Islamov, Anar Khamzayeva, F. Maksudov, D. Maksudova, Sulton Rahimov, Bektur Sakiev

Download Water_Resources_Management

Foreword
This publication presents the results of the workshop on Water resources management in Central Asia: regional and international issues at stake which was held at the CIDOB Foundation in Barcelona on 23 January 2009. It also presents the 4 background papers and the conclusions. The aim of the meeting, which took place within the framework of the Observatory on Central Asia (a joint initiative set up by the Royal Institute, Casa Asia and the CIDOB Foundation), was to examine the way in which water resources are managed in the Central Asia region, as well as to debate issues such as the prospects for comprehensive water management, the importance of the latter in terms of international security, and the impact on the development of the countries in the region. The workshop’s participants also analysed the role of international organisations in Central Asia, with a view to the future role that Spain could play during its EU presidency in 2010. The seminar’s participants included four experts from Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan, together with some 20 experts and scholars, all specialised in the Central Asia region.

CIDOB Foundation

Abstract
This publication came about as a product of the debate workshop “Managing water resources in Central Asia: regional and international issues at stake”, an academic meeting organised by the CIDOB Foundation, within the framework of the Observatory on Central Asia, which co-sponsored the event together with Casa Asia and the Royal Elcano Institute. The book includes research studies by four of its academic speakers, as well as the main conclusions reached and a few recommendations of great importance for national and international actors, as well as for the main international powers with interests in the region. This is a document of great value for anybody who is interested in the management of water resources and the dynamics of cooperation and conflict that are generated around such an activity, and area that is of key importance to understanding the past, present and future of relations between the Central Asian states in such crucial areas as water resources, energy and the damage done to the environment by climate change and pollution. The subject is developed as follows: firstly, through a general approach to the subject, given out by Anar Khamzayeva, a doctorate student at the LUISS Guido Carli University and ex-analyst at the Institute for World Economy and Politics (IWEP) of Kazakhstan, and who places attention on the need to create frameworks of cooperation between the different states in the region. Subsequently, Sulton Rahimov, ex-Chairman of the Executive Committee of the International Fund for Saving the Aral Sea (EC-IFAS) deals with the effects of climate change on Central Asia, focusing particularly on the degradation of the Aral Sea area. Farhod Maksudov, a researcher from the Uzbek Academy of Sciences and an environmental expert from the Office of the UNDP in Uzbekistan offers the reader an analytical article on a specific programme: the Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) project, which was created with the aim of establishing comprehensive water management for sustainable development in the area. In the final study, Bektur Sakiev, from the organisation Foundation for Tolerance International of Kirguiztan, examines one particular practical case: the management of water in the strategic Ferghana valley. Finally, the publication includes a report from the workshop that brings together the main conclusions of the experts on Central Asia and a few recommendations, in order to turn the workshop and this publication into a document that is useful for anyone interested in the efficient management of resources and the dynamics that are generated around them when they are in short supply.

4) Pyrrhic Victory in the “Tournament of Shadows”:
Central Asia’s Quest for Water Security (1991–2009) by Samuel Chan

Download Pyrrhic_victory_in_the_Tournament

Abstract
Central Asia’s Soviet past continues to haunt the five successor sovereign states with water, a contentious issue. Although fundamental to survival and livelihood, regional cooperation over the precious resource remains a patchwork of short-term stop-loss agreements at best and an exercise in “frameworks without content” at worst. This article seeks to explain why this is so, based on a theoretical position derived from hydro-political discourse. The eclectic explanations include the hydro-hegemonic void created by the removal of Soviet authoritarianism; the securitization of the hydro-political complex in Central Asia; unilateral and bilateral substitutes for multilateral water resource cooperation; and the ineffectiveness of international law – all of which contribute to the impasse over water cooperation.

CRS Report: 'Agricultural Conservation - A Guide to Programs' Updated: 15 August 2019

This CRS report by Megan Stubbs was published on 15 August 2019: Agricultural Conservation: A Guide to Programs.

Who knew? A lot of these ag-based programs are important to water stewardship as well as land/environmental stewardship.

Summary
The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) and the Farm Service Agency (FSA) in the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) currently administer over 20 programs and subprograms that are directly or indirectly available to assist producers and landowners who wish to practice conservation on agricultural lands. The number of these programs and the differences among them have created some confusion about the purpose, participation, and policies of the programs. While some effort has been made to remove duplication, a large number of programs remain. The programs discussed in this report in tabular form are as follows.

 Agricultural Conservation Easement Program (ACEP)

 Agricultural Management Assistance (AMA)

 Conservation Operations (CO); Conservation Technical Assistance (CTA)

 Conservation Reserve Program (CRP)

 CRP—Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program (CREP)

 CRP—Farmable Wetland Program

 CRP—Grasslands

 Conservation Stewardship Program (CSP)

 Emergency Conservation Program (ECP)

 Emergency Forest Restoration Program (EFRP)

 Emergency Watershed Protection (EWP)

 Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP)

 EQIP—Conservation Innovation Grants (CIG)

 EQIP, CIG—On-Farm Conservation Innovation Trials

 Feral Swine Eradication and Control Pilot Program

 Grassroots Source Water Protection Program

 Healthy Forests Reserve Program (HFRP)

 Regional Conservation Partnership Program (RCPP)

 Voluntary Public Access and Habitat Incentive Program

 Water Bank Program

 Watershed and Flood Prevention Operations

 Watershed Rehabilitation Program

This tabular presentation provides basic information covering each of the programs. In each case, a brief program description is followed by information on major amendments in the Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018 (P.L. 115-334, 2018 farm bill), national scope and availability, states with the greatest participation, the backlog of applications and other measures of continuing interest, program funding authority, FY2019 funding, FY2020 Administration budget request, statutory authority, the authorization expiration date, and a link to the program’s website.

"The supreme goodness is like water. It benefits all things without contention. In dwelling, it stays grounded. In being, it flows to depths. In expression, it is honest. In confrontation, it stays gentle. In governance, it does not control. In action, it aligns in timing. It is content with its nature and therefore cannot be faulted." - Tao Te Ching Passage #8 (thanks to Raymond Kang)
