policy, biodiversity strategy and SDG goals, KPIs are defined to set the strategy, action plan and activities. These are : 4.1 Number of conserved and restored mangrove areas. 4.2 Number and biodiversity of species indicating richness of mangrove ecosystem. 4.3 Number of civic networks 4.4 Number of groups and people who receive and exchange knowledge resulting from the project. 4.5 Quantity of reduced CO2 (tons of CO2/year). 5. Action plan From KPIs of conserving and restoring mangrove project, 4 strategies are defined; Strategy 1 Create collaboration Strategy 2 Knowledge accessibility Strategy 3 Conservation and restoration Strategy 4 Monitoring 6. Monitoring and evaluation for continuous development Monitoring and evaluation strategy is identified because it is important to project implementation. This will monitor and evaluate at every level; board of directors, local officers and local community committee, any problems will be solved. Therefore continuous development should happen. 4. Project results Project results in year 2015 1. Restored (new plantation) and conserved areas In the second year of implementation; Actual restored areas: 40% (154 rai from 390 rai targeted areas) Actual conserved areas: 98% (2,025 rai from 2,065 rai targeted areas) 2. Biodiversity figures (Benthos, Zooplankton, Phytoplankton, Mangrove-dwelling and Marine animals) To cover biodiversity in the strategic areas, data of biodiversity figures (Benthos, Zooplankton, Phytoplankton, Mangrove-dwelling and Marine animals) are collected by Marine and Coastal Resources Research and Development Center from the Eastern Gulf of Thailand in 3 areas; Rayong, SamutSakhon and Chumphon. The reference areas are Panang Gulf Nakhon Si Thammarat Province,Sikao Canal Trang Province and Kung Kra Bend Chantaburi Province. The results showed that: Benthos: Lower than criteria except in Chumphon area Zooplankton: Lower than criteria in all 3 areas Phytoplankton, Mangrove-dwelling and Marine animals: Greater than criteria in all 3 areas 3. Number of mangrove local community committees For operating in each area, local community committee is an importance working group structure because they will take the responsibility to operate the project for sustainable development. So the first 5 years of CPF mangrove strategy will support budgets, conduct knowledge sharing activities and build strength on the local community committee. In the last phase of CPF mangrove strategy, local mangrove protection fund will be established to operate continually for sustainability. In year 2015, local community committee was appointed in 4 areas except Phang Nga Province which is in process. 4. Number of groups/persons attending the learning centers Mangrove ecosystem learning centers are established in all 5 strategic areas. The target is set by increase 10% of visitors from year 2014 as baseline year. 224 Proceedings of the International Conference on Climate Change, Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs): Policy and Practice 27-29 June 2016, Cha-am, Phetchaburi, Thailand
