Résumé
Community-based natural resource management (CBNRM) is an approach that offers multiple related benefits: securing rural livelihoods while ensuring careful conservation and management of biodiversity and other resources. Recently, however, the CBNRM concept has attracted criticism for failing to realize its promises or deliver significant local improvements in some contexts. This book identifies the flaws in its application, which often have been swept under the carpet by those involved in the initiatives. It analyses them, and it proposes remedies for specific circumstances based on the lessons learned from CBNRM experience in southern Africa over the past decade. The result will be essential reading for all the researchers, observers and practitioners who have focused on how CBNRM can be employed in sustainable development programmes as a means to overcome poverty in various parts of the globe. It will be a vital tool in improving their methods and performance. In addition, academics, students and policy-makers in natural resource management, resource economics, resource governance and rural development will find it a very valuable and instructive resource.
