Summary
These two volumes containing state-of-the-art information are designed to help professionals employed in conservation initiatives to identify the social concerns that are relevant for their work, assess options for action and implement the options best suited to their situation. Volume I begins with a brief introduction, Seeking Social Sustainability, which discusses the reasons social concerns are important for a conservation initiative. The following sections address topics that were identified by professionals with expertise in biological and social sciences and conservation practice. The topics are: Involving the People, Addressing Local Needs in Conservation, and Managing a Sustainable Initiative. Volume II also consists of three main sections. The first section, Concept Files, contains concise essays that illustrate key terms, concepts and considerations on particular conservation issues. The second section, Participatory Tools and Processes, is useful for conservation professionals who wish to communicate with local people and involve them in gathering information, assessing problems, planning activities, managing conflicts and monitoring and evaluating results. The third section is an extensive collection of brief examples from the field, offering lessons learned in conservation initiatives that seized or missed opportunities to take action on social concerns.
