Abstract

Protected areas are an important instrument for conserving biodiversity. Too often, however, they are managed strictly by conservationists, neglecting the rural peoples’ values and practices and the potential alliances to be made with local interests in conservation. The obvious result has been poor social acceptance of protected areas and, in such circumstances, sustainability stands on shaky grounds. Conservation and development need to be appreciated from at least two different perspectives: the one of their official managers and the one of the local residents, attempting to meet their livelihood needs though the use of natural resources. Joint management agreements between the two are a promising approach, based on mutually negotiated solutions. Concepts, methods and tools in support of such solutions need to be developed and exchanged to improve their practical implementation in a variety of contexts.
