Abstract

This paper examines "the conditions under which [community-based conservation] does or does not work" through a case-study of a community-based effort to manage the North Rupununi Arapaima (Arpaima gigas) fishery, in Central Guyana. It explores traditional management of the Arapaima among the North Rupununi's Makushi people, current conservation efforts to recover the fishery, and the broader implications of both approaches to the theory of community-based conservation.
