Stewardship & Conservation

Communities are tackling complex environmental, social and economic challenges through conservation and livelihood efforts in an era of multi-level, cross-sectoral governance approaches and layers of policy and jurisdictions. How do local people navigate this context to engage in community-based conservation that fosters viable livelihoods, healthy environments, and strong communities? How can policy better support local community-based initiatives?

These, among many other difficult questions relating to conservation and environmental policy are discussed through presentations which tie together topics such as social cohesion and comparative systems of management. The information shared here provides insight into processes and outcomes impacting why and how the world and people change, and how the concept of success can be quantified – so that progress in reaching local biological and socio-economic goals can be consistently measured over the long-term.
