Community management of natural resources is well supported by many field experiences as an
effective way to improve people’s well-being while maintaining their natural resource base. The
approach has been reasonably achieved within community groups and the community as a whole.
Nonetheless, there are fewer experiences at multi-community or regional levels (landscape). In this
article we describe a participatory action research project that led to a successful multicommunity
regional management plan. Using the Community Capitals Framework to help community members
see their region as a system with assets and the managed landscape approach to focus on key
decision points, the process led to an inclusive and successful planning process with high potential
for implementation. We highlight the lessons learned from this experience and identify potential
limitations to its use. |
