Participatory research in conservation and rural livelihoods: doing science together

Participatory Research in Conservation and Rural Livelihoods starts from the understanding that all people create knowledge and that the creation of sustainable livelihoods and of conditions that protect and sustain rural ecosystems are interrelated. Interdependent science, that is, science undertaken collaboratively by local and professional scientists, can create new knowledge to achieve conservation goals. Local experts and professional researchers demonstratethat interdependent science can produce more accurate and locally appropriatedata. Conservation scientists and practitioners will both benefit from reading this book. INDICE: Contributors. Foreword: Marshall W. Murphree. Acknowledgements. Acronyms and abbreviations.
