1. Mangroves for the Future National Coordinator, IUCN

Bangkok, Thailand

Launched in December 2006, Mangroves for the Future is a multi-agency, 
multi-country initiative for the long-term conservation and sustainable 
management of coastal ecosystems. MFF covers countries in South and 
Southeast Asia and the Western Indian Ocean, with special focus on 
Bangladesh, Cambodia, India, Indonesia, Maldives, Pakistan, Seychelles, 
Sri Lanka, Thailand and Viet Nam. The initiative involves collaboration 
between multiple partners, including government agencies, NGOs and CBOs, 
research institutes and universities, UN agencies and other multilateral 
bodies. MFF provides a platform, which brings together the efforts of 
different countries, sectors and agencies under a common goal.


Now in its second Phase (2010-2013), MFF’s goal is the conservation, 
restoration and sustainable management of coastal ecosystems as key 
natural infrastructure which supports human well-being and security. MFF 
Phase 2 has three objectives covering knowledge-sharing, strengthening 
empowerment and enhancing governance to help coastal communities to use 
coastal resources sustainably and build resilience to the growing 
threats from climate change and natural disasters.
The implementation of MFF’s action plan and overall progress towards 
achieving its objectives is overseen by a multi-stakeholder body, the 
Regional Steering Committee (RSC) co-chaired by IUCN and UNDP, with 
representatives from MFF’s member country governments and institutional 
partners.


The mandate for coordinating and overseeing MFF’s in-country activities 
lies with a National Coordinating Body (NCB) in each member country, and 
works alongside existing national frameworks for managing coastal areas.

11. Conservation and Coastal Livelihoods Intern, WWF

Washington, DC

Marine protected areas (MPAs) are an integral component of local, 
national, and international strategies for biodiversity conservation. 
The impact of MPAs on local communities is the focus of a contentious 
policy debate. Under certain conditions, MPAs can provide both 
biodiversity and social benefits, while in other settings tradeoffs 
exist between biodiversity conservation and social welfare. To inform 
this debate, WWF and its partners are monitoring the social impacts of 
marine protected areas in the Coral Triangle. We are looking for a 
motivated intern to assist in the management and interpretation of our 
coastal livelihoods data.

Internship responsibilities may include data management (updating 
metadata, database maintenance and design), completion of quality 
control and quality assurance (QAQC) checks, analysis of social science 
data, and assistance in producing short summary reports.
