examines how the Adaptive Collaborative Management approach can be
utilised to address global environmental issues by complementing
global and national policies with community-based action and
commitment. argues that the activation and the empowerment of local
peoples is critical to addressing current environmental challenges.
provide concrete examples showing how a bottom-up approach can
function to enhance policies and development. will be of great
interest to students, scholars and practitioners working in the
fields of conservation, forest management, community development,
natural resource management and development studies more broadly.
This book examines the value of Adaptive Collaborative Management
for facilitating learning and collaboration with local communities
and beyond, utilising detailed studies of forest landscapes and
communities. Many forest management proposals are based on top-down
strategies, such as the Million Tree Initiatives, Forest Landscape
Restoration (FLR) and REDD+, often neglecting local communities. In
the context of the climate crisis, it is imperative that local
peoples and communities are an integral part of all decisions
relating to resource management. Rather than being seen as
beneficiaries or people to be safeguarded, they should be seen as
full partners, and Adaptive Collaborative Management is an approach
which priorities the rights and roles of communities alongside the
need to address the environmental crisis. The volume presents
detailed case studies and real life examples from across the globe,
promoting and prioritizing the voices of women and scholars and
practitioners from the Global South who are often
under-represented. Providing concrete examples of ways that a
bottom-up approach can function to enhance development sustainably,
via its practitioners and far beyond the locale in which they
initially worked, this volume demonstrates the lasting utility of
approaches like Adaptive Collaborative Management that emphasize
local control, inclusiveness and local creativity in management.

What is the power of a collectively imagined future? Women in rural
Zimbabwe imagine a future of prosperity and education for their
children and then they take collective action to care for the wild
grasses that guarantees their livelihood as broom-makers, and their
children's futures. In India, "The Rivermaker" helps his village
neighbors to picture and then build a future of agricultural wealth
and prosperity through direct management of their river basin. This
is the power of a collective imagination focused on real, tangible
outcomes. Through an easy-to-read narrative style and using real
examples from Africa and Asia, this revolutionary book--part
argument for the limitless power of human imagination and part
practical manual for turning visions into reality--explains how to
use a process of "participatory modelling" to structure people's
learning and understanding of the natural systems they depend upon
and how this can lead to better social and environmental outcomes.
The book is for communities and professional natural resources
managers who want to use this powerful tool to help people share
visions and take appropriate, immediate action. It introduces both
the theory and practice of participatory modelling using everyday
language and a variety of accessible and successful examples. The
result is a challenging yet instantly accessible and applicable
guide for practicing real, successful community based natural
resource management anywhere, in any circumstances.
Agroforestry seeks to balance protection of forest resources, the
exploitation of the ecosystem services that trees can contribute to
agriculture and the role of agroforestry in diversifying the range
of agricultural products and markets. This volume reviews the
latest research on the role and implementation of main types of
agroforestry, understanding and assessing the ecosystem services
that agroforestry can deliver and techniques for optimising
agroforestry practice. The book's main focus is on temperate
agroforestry, but also reviews particular issues facing
agroforestry in the tropics. The collection will be a standard
reference for forestry and agricultural scientists in universities,
government and other research centres in agroforestry
