Nagaland state in India has a unique distinction of having over 400 documented Community Conserved Areas, declared by the village community/clan on the lands/forests owned by them. Nagaland Community Conserved Areas Forum (NCCAF) was constituted in the year 2014 and got registered in June 2017 as a solidarity alliance of CCAs in the State. NCCAF is a member based alliance which started with 15 CCAs and currently has 28 CCAs, covering about 120 villages and an approximate area of about 250 square KMs. NCCAF became a member of the ICCA Consortium in January 2021.

After informally functioning for almost a decade, the NCCAF has finally established a physical office in Dimapur (the only Airport and Railhead in the State), and appointed a couple of staff, through the in-country membership programme of ICCA Consortium South Asia Secretariat, coordinated by Kalpavriksh, for which we are extremely grateful to the ICCA. The Office was inaugurated on the 21st June 2024 after a two day Nagaland Community Conserved Areas Meet 2024 at Mokokchung. The inauguration programme was attended by ICCA Consortium South Asia coordination team from Kalpavriksh, office bearers & Advisors of NCCAF, Kenono Foundation, Lemsachenlok and staff of Foundation for Ecological Security (FES). NCCAF hopes that the office will become a meeting point for all CCAs and a centre of excellence and knowledge of CCAs in the state.
