Poverty, hunger and demand for agricultural land have driven local communities to overexploit forest resources throughout
Ethiopia. Forests surrounding the township of Humbo were largely destroyed by the late 1960s. In 2004, World Vision Australia
and World Vision Ethiopia identified forestry-based carbon sequestration as a potential means to stimulate community development
while engaging in environmental restoration. After two years of consultation, planning and negotiations, the Humbo Community-based
Natural Regeneration Project began implementation—the Ethiopian organization’s first carbon sequestration initiative. The
Humbo Project assists communities affected by environmental degradation including loss of biodiversity, soil erosion and flooding
with an opportunity to benefit from carbon markets while reducing poverty and restoring the local agroecosystem. Involving
the regeneration of 2,728 ha of degraded native forests, it brings social, economic and ecological benefits—facilitating adaptation
to a changing climate and generating temporary certified emissions reductions (tCERs) under the Clean Development Mechanism.
A key feature of the project has been facilitating communities to embrace new techniques and take responsibility for large-scale
environmental change, most importantly involving Farmer Managed Natural Regeneration (FMNR). This technique is low-cost, replicable,
and provides direct benefits within a short time. Communities were able to harvest fodder and firewood within a year of project
initiation and wild fruits and other non-timber forest products within three years. Farmers are using agroforestry for both
environmental restoration and income generation. Establishment of user rights and local cooperatives has generated community
ownership and enthusiasm for this project—empowering the community to more sustainably manage their communal lands. 相似文献

Integrated Resource Management: Moving from Rhetoric to Practice in Australian Agriculture 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
/ Implementing the concept of sustainability through integrated approaches to natural resource management poses enormous challenges for both the rural communities and government agencies concerned. This paper reviews the underlying rhetoric of sustainable agricultural systems and the integrated resource management paradigm and identifies some of the challenges being experienced in translating this rhetoric into practice. A relatively recently implemented community-based integrated catchment management (ICM) process in a rural community in northeast Australia is examined in terms of some of the lessons learned that may be relevant to other similar integrated resource management (IRM) processes. It reveals a pragmatic, opportunistic, and evolving implementation process based on adaptive learning rather than a more traditional "rational" planning approach. Some essential characteristics of a community-based IRM process are identified, including fostering communication; providing a structure that fosters cooperation and facilities coordination among community, industry, and government agencies; the integration of IRM principles into local government planning schemes; and an emergent strategic approach to IRM program implementation. We conclude by identifying some essential characteristics of an IRM process that can assist a community to adapt to, and manage change for, sustainable resource use. 相似文献

This article compares a range of initiatives aimed at involving people in the management of forest resources in Nepal and
India. In Nepal, we focus on three categories of state-initiated programs: community forestry, the parks’ buffer zone program,
and leasehold forestry. In the southern Indian state of Karnataka, we study the state-initiated Joint Forest Planning and
Management program along with older institutions of leaf manure forests (Soppina betta) and historical sacred forests (Kans). We conclude that state-initiated approaches to involving communities have been limited, at best, promote standardized and
relatively inflexible management practices, and lead to partial improvement in biodiversity and people’s livelihoods. When
management is initiated and owned by the community, as in the case of sacred groves in India, and when other conditions are
appropriate, communities can have the opportunity to demonstrate their capacity for putting effective and adaptive conservation
practices in place. 相似文献

This article contributes to debates about climate change policy and technology transfer by analyzing the success factors underlying collaboration between private companies and communities in developing countries. To date, much attention to capacity building for enabling environments — including public–private collaboration — under the climate change convention has focused on state‐led initiatives and on the innovation and development of technologies. This article, instead, focuses on how private‐sector investors and host communities may collaborate in the diffusion of technologies, by reducing the costs of technology transfer, and making technology more appropriate to developing countries. The article describes cases of collaboration concerning waste management and waste‐to‐energy in Thailand and the Philippines. The article argues that successful public–private partnerships between investors and communities depends on minimizing transaction costs, strengthening collaborative (or assurance) mechanisms, and in maximizing public trust and accountability of partnerships. Lessons are then drawn for enhancing capacity building for technology transfer under the climate change convention and applications such as the Clean Development Mechanism. 相似文献

Dynamics of local governance in natural resource conservation in the Okavango Delta,Botswana 下载免费PDF全文
There has been a shift in natural resource management worldwide. This paper describes how modern institutions and policies influence management and shape access to and utilization of resources by rural communities in the Okavango Delta, Botswana. It is rooted in the framework of adaptive co‐governance within social‐ecological systems, and employs a critical literature review to analyse access to and use of natural resources in rural Botswana. Prior to the establishment of community‐based natural resource management (CBNRM) in Botswana in 1989, resource governance was dominated by strong traditional institutions that were responsible for natural resource management and decision‐making. Contemporary natural resource governance is characterized by a bureaucratic system that invariably undermines the role of traditional institutions in natural resource governance. Findings indicate that policies and regulatory instruments deny rural communities adequate access to and utilization of resources available within their immediate environment. In spite of an orientation towards an anthropocentric approach to natural resource management (as in the case of CBNRM), the current governance system continues to undermine the inclusion of local resource users as legitimate stakeholders in the decision‐making process. 相似文献

The article explores and examines challenges and lessons learned from the implementation of community based natural resources management (CBNRM) programmes in Ngamiland, northern Botswana. The article, based largely on primary data, with some secondary data sources, draws on the CBNRM framework, which promotes rural socio‐economic development and natural resources management. Among the key factors identified as pivotal to the success of CBNRM is broadening the consultation base during the mobilization phase of the programme to facilitate effective community participation and representation. Preparedness by both the implementing institutions and participating communities is also highlighted as key to effective mobilization. This means moving away from a conventional consultative forum, to a more multi‐faceted approach that will facilitate capturing the views of diverse user groups within the community. The article also suggests that feasibility studies are needed to address socio‐economic, political and cultural characteristics inherent in communities to guide programme implementation. To achieve increased community participation and enhance positive conservation attitudes, the article advocates a mobilization approach and practice that will effectively facilitate the process. 相似文献

Madhupur National Park is renowned for severe resource ownership conflicts between ethnic communities and government authorities in Bangladesh. In this study, we applied the Institutional Analysis and Development framework to identify: (i) past and present informal institutional structures within the ethnic Garo community for land resource management; (ii) the origin of the land ownership dispute; (iii) interaction mechanisms between formal and informal institutions; and (iv) change in land management authority and informal governance structures. We identify that the informal institutions of the traditional community have undergone radical change due to government interventions with implications for the regulation of land use, informal institutional functions, and joint-decision-making. Importantly, the government’s persistent denial of the role of existing informal institutions is widening the gap between government and community actors, and driving land ownership conflicts in a cyclic way with associated natural resource degradation. 相似文献

We conducted a natural resource assessment at two national parks, New River Gorge National River and Shenandoah National Park,
to help meet the goals of the Natural Resource Challenge—a program to help strengthen natural resource management at national
parks. We met this challenge by synthesizing and interpreting natural resource information for planning purposes and we identified
information gaps and natural significance of resources. We identified a variety of natural resources at both parks as being
globally and/or nationally significant, including large expanses of unfragmented, mixed-mesophytic forests that qualify for
wilderness protection, rare plant communities, diverse assemblages of neotropical migratory birds and salamanders, and outstanding
aquatic recreational resources. In addition, these parks function, in part, as ecological reserves for plants in and wildlife.
With these significant natural resources in mind, we also developed a suite of natural resource management recommendations
in light of increasing threats from within and outside park boundaries. We hope that our approach can provide a blueprint
for natural resource conservation at publically owned lands. 相似文献

Practicing natural resource management with a policy orientation 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Tim W. Clark 《Environmental management》1992,16(4):423-433
All natural resource managers want to contribute to successful conservation programs. Having and applying an explicit policy
orientation is indispensable. The policy sciences are described and a case is made that, if natural resource managers utilize
this set of conceptual and applied tools in their natural resource work, their effectiveness could be enhanced. The policy
sciences offer a contextual, problem-oriented, and multimethod approach to meeting complex problems. Two kinds of knowledge
are needed to solve problems—substantive knowledge about the resource and process knowledge about the decision and policy
processes used to derive courses of management action. The interplay of science, analysis, and politics are examined. The
wildlife management community is used to illustrate many points, including the important role implementation plays in the
overall policy process. 相似文献

Although collaboration and multi-stakeholder partnerships have become a common feature in natural resource management throughout
the world, various problems are associated with attempts to up-scale community-based natural resource management from the
local to the regional level. To analyze the reasons behind these problems, this article reports on two examples of collaboratives
in Australia: local Landcare groups, and regional natural resource management (NRM) bodies. Recent government-induced changes
have shifted the focus from local Landcare group action to strategic planning and implementation by regional NRM bodies. Two
typologies of collaboratives are applied to analyze the characteristics of both these groups. The study uses data from 52
qualitative interviews with key informants at the local and regional level in Victoria and Tasmania, participant observation,
as well as literature and document analysis. The article illustrates how the groups’ distinct characteristics can cause conflicts
when the different types of collaboratives operate in parallel. In addition, the article reports how stakeholders perceive
the level of community participation in decision-making processes. The key message is that the benefits of community participation
and collaboration that arise at the local level can be lost when these approaches are up-scaled to the regional level unless
there is an intermediary or ‘mediating structure’ to facilitate communication and create the link between different types
of collaboratives. 相似文献

Community participation in natural resources management is a basis for sustainable management of these resources. However, the question of which actors/assets within communities are more connected to the natural resources based on their knowledge, skills and talents is not well captured. This study, therefore, combines Asset Based Community Development approach and Bio-Cultural approach, to identify influential stakeholders in the utilization of catchment resources in Upper Zigi and Lower Mngeta catchments, in the United Republic of Tanzania. Participatory rural appraisal tools; participatory bio-physical resource mapping (PBRM) and participatory community asset mapping (PCAM) were used for data collection. Similar observations were made in both study sites, that, the most influential community assets were traditional healers, traditional dancers, hunters, Village Government, fishermen, farmers and family, and therefore, these most influential community assets should get involved in the management of catchment resources because they are true representatives of the community. 相似文献

The lack of knowledge regarding social diversity in the Wildland Urban Interface (WUI) or an in-depth understanding of the
ways people living there interact to address common problems is concerning, perhaps even dangerous, given that community action
is necessary for successful wildland fire preparedness and natural resource management activities. In this article, we lay
out the knowledge and preliminary case study evidence needed to begin systematically documenting the differing levels and
types of adaptive capacity WUI communities have for addressing collective problems such as wildland fire hazard. In order
to achieve this end, we draw from two theoretical perspectives encompassing humans' interactions with their environment, including
(1) Kenneth Wilkinson's interactional approach to community, (2) and certain elements of place literature. We also present
case study research on wildfire protection planning in two drastically different California communities to illustrate how
social diversity influences adaptive capacity to deal with hazards such as wildland fire. These perspectives promote an image
of the WUI not as a monolithic entity but a complex mosaic of communities with different needs and existing capacities for
wildland fire and natural resource management. 相似文献

The environmental planning and management of the Assarawat highlands of south-western Saudi Arabia are currently confronted by difficult problems. Deforestation is caused either by natural or intentional forces. Natural factors are limited to lightning fire and drought, while intentional forces include vandalism caused by the burning or cutting of preserved forests. Such vandalism continues despite the tremendous efforts of afforestation and preservation by several government agencies, especially the Ministry of Agriculture and Water, the National Commission for Wildlife Conservation and Development and by the municipalities of the cities and towns in the region. For centuries, local inhabitants of the Assarawat highlands have successfully established environmental planning and management strategies which balanced the settlements' growth and natural resource uses according to Islamic laws, and the tribal self-government of each settlement and tribal region. Following the establishment of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in 1932, the land management system started to change from tribal-based, where every tribe used to manage its local territory, to State authority. The creation of the State witnessed the unification of various fragmented tribes of Saudi Arabia into one government. This meant that environmental planning and management moved from local/regional towards a national control. This investigation proposes that the local/regional planning and management practised by the tribes could be viably utilized today. As in the past, the implementation of these practices could protect the natural environment of the locality and region and regularize their exploitation rationally, as long as vernacular people implement them. Today environmental planning and management need to be based on strategies of local requirements that enable the indigenous people to plan and manage the use of the resources. 相似文献

Integrated analysis of land-use change in support of informed policy-making for sustainable land use at various spatial levels
makes heavy requirements for quality data. This paper aims to structure the principal methodological and practical issues
of data needs for this task. The data needs for local level analyses of land-use change are given special attention. The paper
adopts an integrated economic–environmental modeling framework and suggests the main types of data needed. Four main data
dimensions are distinguished: system of spatial reference, system of temporal reference, definitions, and data collection
procedures (sources, collection instruments and techniques, recording and retrieval systems, data format, frequency of data
collection). To evaluate the suitability of current data sets as well as to guide the collection of new ones, a scheme based
on substantive and practical criteria is employed. The former include compatibility, consistency, and reliability of data,
while the latter include availability, ease and cost of data collection/retrieval, and transferability of data. The evaluation
indicates the broad gaps in current data sets along the four main data dimensions. Based on this evaluation, the paper suggests
framework guidelines to address the main data issues identified. RID=" ID=" <SUP>1</SUP>CLAUDE: Coordinating Land Use and

Exploration of collaborative management implementation at two state wildlife agencies (SWAs) found that government fiscal accountability requirements create tensions that negatively impact collaborative plan implementation. Interview-derived insights highlight state policy misalignments between the support of collaborative governance and the application of governmental accountability controls. Tensions from this misalignment can negatively impact implementation and disrupt relationships among the SWA management staff, their partners, and their procurement staff. Rather than working as a part of a unified state interest to implement collaborative governance, procurement processes function as an internal regulatory authority that addresses different state policies. Informant comments identify dissimilar tension levels within the two SWAs, potentially due to the organizational location of procurement staffs. Confirmation of the influence of an SWA procurement staff organizational location on collaborative implementation requires further investigation. Tensions identified here likely exist in other natural resource management agencies and represent an understudied aspect of governmental collaborative management capacity often overlooked in collaborative planning and management scholarship. 相似文献

Ecological disturbances of forests by insects have a complex array of associated human dimensions presenting complications
for natural resource decision making and relationships between stakeholders and managers. This article discusses the human
context of forest disturbances by insects by reviewing four cases of bark beetle forest disturbance from British Columbia
in Canada, Bavarian Forest National Park in Germany, the Kenai Peninsula in Alaska, and the north central region of Colorado.
Findings and lessons learned from these studies are outlined along with their implications for managing forest disturbances
by insects in general. Conclusions focus on the need to assess the broad array of impacts and risks perceived by local residents
and the capacity for local action and involvement in managing forest disturbances. Communication and interaction between resource
managers and local stakeholders can facilitate the identification of management priorities and potentially reduce some of
the risks associated with forest disturbances by insects. 相似文献

In Part 1, we presented the findings of the EU ACCSEPT project (2006–2007) with regards to scientific, technical, legal and economic issues. In Part 2, we present the analysis of social acceptability on the part of both the lay public and stakeholders. We examine the acceptability of CO2 capture and geological storage (CCS) within the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) of the Kyoto Protocol. The debate over the inclusion of CCS within the CDM is caught-up in a set of complex debates that are partly technical and partly political and, therefore, difficult, and time-consuming, to resolve. We explore concerns that support for CCS will detract from support for other low-carbon energy sources. We can find no evidence that support for CCS is currently detracting from support for renewable energy sources, though it is probably too early to detect such an effect. Efforts at understanding, engaging with, and communicating to, the lay public and wider stakeholder community (not just business) in Europe are currently weak and inadequate, despite well-meaning statements from governments and industry. 相似文献
