Community-based natural resource management (CBNRM) is a compelling
concept - if people are allowed to be custodians of their
resources, better management of the resources will result. CBNRM is
much more complex and challenging than has commonly been
understood, but can provide a way to achieve a more equitable and
sustainable approach to the use of natural resources. This book has
a focus on Southern Africa. It is aimed at students of natural
resource management including undergraduates, conservation
practitioners, and development-sector implementing agents. It is
theoretically grounded, but has a major applied focus with respect
to understanding the why, what, and how of CBNRM in order to more
effectively guide natural resource management. It is not a manual
with explanatory details about implementation measures; rather, it
helps the reader to understand the complexity of CBNRM, and
provides a guide to other resources that will assist in enhancing
learning. Part I consists of ten chapters. After introducing the
CBNRM concept, consideration is given to the following: History as
a Determinant of Progress; Economic Foundations; Well-Being,
Livelihoods and Business; Institutions and Governance; Stakeholder
Analysis; Adaptive Management; Capacity Development and Learning;
and Communication for Effective Implementation. Part II is devoted
to eight case studies from the Southern Africa region that
illustrates some of the issues considered in Part I. They are
included to provide material that can be used as site-specific
examples and teaching aids to complement general discussion of the
issues.
