Natural Resource Management and Local Development
Natural resource management by rural citizens in tropical regions is crucial both to the conservation of biodiversity and ecosystem processes, but also to the the well-being and food security of the people that live there.This situation is especially acute in Africa where conflicts between habitat destruction and utilization can arise in areas which are important not only for biodiversity but for the long-term maintenance of ecosystems on which the people ultimately rely.There can also be conflicts between outside specialists and the indigenous knowledge of local communities.A holistic approach involving local peoples in management of their natural resources is therefore essential.A range of approaches to the problem is explored here in relation to natural resource management to local development and livelihoods, and the multi-functional nature of land-use.Major topics debated are the dichotomy between strictly protected areas and ones including human activity, people-centred rather than legally enforced conservation, market forces, and the interrelationships between agriculture and conservation. The book has 12 chapters, prepared by researchers actively involved in community aspects of natural resource management in Africa, and is based on an international workshop held in Niamey, Niger, in 2008.It will be of interest to all involved in the community approach to biodiversity conservation in less developed countries generally and not only in Africa as many of the issues addressed are pertinent globally. Reprinted from Biodiversity and Conservation 18: 10 (2009).

Effective Conservation : Parks, Rewilding, and Local Development
For most, “conservation” conjures the notion of minimising human presence on wildlands to avoid harmful impacts.But too often, this defensive approach has pitted local communities against conservationists, wasting opportunities for collaboration and setting the stage for ongoing conflict.One conservation approach turns that paradigm on its head, and instead connects conservation with the well-being of human communities, setting both up for success.Called “Full Nature,” this approach, pioneered by conservationist Ignacio Jiménez, seeks to promote fully functional natural landscapes that are tied to the basic needs of the communities in their midst.They become a self-sustaining cycle, where nature and people are integrated ecologically, socially, and politically. Effective Conservation is based on Jiménez’s experience managing conservation projects on three continents over thirty years.Jiménez offers a pragmatic approach to conservation that puts the focus on working with people, neighbours, governments, politicians, businesses, media, to ensure they have a long-term stake in protecting and restoring parks and wildlife.Jiménez guides readers through the practical considerations of designing, analysing, and managing effective conservation programmes.Chapters explore intelligence gathering, communication, planning, conflict management, and evaluation techniques, and include numerous text boxes showcasing examples of successful conservation projects from all texts, and links to additional resources. This highly readable manual provides a ground-breaking and time-proven formula for successful conservation projects around the world that bring together parks, people, and nature.

Guiding Curriculum Development : The Need to Return to Local Control
Top-down mandates concerning the curriculum of the school leave no room for program creativity and program commitment.Yet principals and teachers are held accountable for student achievement results.Constitutionally, powers not granted to the United States are reserved to the States or to the people.The book’s primary purposes center on the need for placing the responsibility for determining student curriculum and academic achievement the local school level whereby school personnel determine the individual student’s personal interests and needs and design a curricular program for each student that fosters personnel success.The creative abilities of teachers are inhibited in attempts to implement top-down mandates that set forth academic content and instructional methods set forth by federal and state agencies.If learning programs and instructional methods are to be designed to meet the individual interests and needs of the learner, who is in the best position to determine such needs?We believe that the social, mental, and physical needs of children and youth are determined best by local educational professionals.This book sets forth the foundations of practice that will serve these purposes.
