Participatory research has emerged as an approach to producing
knowledge that is sufficiently grounded in local needs and
realities to support community-based natural resource management
(CBNRM), and it is often touted as crucial to the sustainable
management of forests and other natural resources.This book
analyzes the current state of the art of participatory research in
CBNRM. Its chapters and case studies examine recent experiences in
collaborative forest management, harvesting impacts on forest
shrubs, watershed restoration in Native American communities, civic
environmentalism in an urban neighborhood and other topics.
Although the main geographic focus of the book is the United
States, the issues raised are synthesized and discussed in the
context of recent critiques of participatory research and CBNRM
worldwide. The book's purpose is to provide insights and lessons
for academics and practitioners involved in CBNRM in many contexts.
The issues it covers will be relevant to participatory research and
CBNRM practitioners and students the world over.
