- Summary:
-
An investigation of the value of collaborative natural resource management partnerships between Indigenous communities and government agencies. Using case studies from Australia, the United States, Thailand and India, the authors examine why Indigenous peoples and their knowledge about natural systems are often denied a place at the natural resources management table. A range of management options that claim to have integrated Indigenous peoples and their knowledge into mainstream natural resources management are investigated. The book has a particularly focus on 'co-management' agreements, and the authors demonstrate that such frameworks perpetuate many of the barriers between scientific and Indigenous ways of thinking. An innovative, alternative example of co-management, the Indigenous Stewardship Model, developed in a North American Native context, is outlined. This model has the potential to transcend some of the usual barriers to equal partnerships in natural resources management.
