Comanagement of natural resources

Article Abstract:

The beliefs and practices of indigenous groups are increasingly recognized as being of value for resource management, but engagement in co-management is proving difficult for indigenous communities. A New Zealand study of the potential for joint management of freshwater resources is used to argue that collaboration between state and indigenous people, and mutual engagement of their knowledges, promises to maximize indigenous input into resource management decision making.
