A Review of Design Principles for Community-based Natural Resource Management
Interesting document which discusses and documents the theoretical under-pinnings of CBNRM principles as outlined in 1990 by Elinor Ostrom and the experience since then. This article is, however, very theoretical and nuanced and more adapted to the needs of an academic studying CBNRM than a practitioneer. This article is very much about the institutional arrangements for successful CBNRM.
