▼ Strategies for human livelihood security and wildlife conservation often conflict, especially in rural and impoverished areas where wildlife and their habitats are important sources of livelihood. Community-based conservation approaches to wildlife conservation seek to remedy this conflict. Still, problems persist and alternative forms of livelihood are often not generated or accounted for in community-based projects. Therefore, it is important to understand the extent to which and specific ways livelihood security are incorporated into community-based wildlife conservation projects.
This thesis uses qualitative methods to examine the extent to which livelihood security is incorporated into community-based wildlife conservation projects. Specifically, I assess whether and how well various subcomponents of livelihood security, which I identify as income, non-monetized benefits and access rights, representative participatory management, and food security, are incorporated into projects from developing regions around the world.
My content analysis and rating of the quality of evidence of 27 published case studies revealed that various subcomponents of livelihood security are often incorporated into community-based wildlife conservation projects, though the subcomponents are often only weakly or moderately incorporated and sometimes are not incorporated at all. Among the four subcomponents of livelihood security, representative participatory management is incorporated into the projects to the greatest extent and food security is incorporated the least. Although case studies might mention livelihood security, in one-quarter of such instances, no evidence was provided that a particular subcomponent was actually incorporated into the project. Still, livelihood security was found to be incorporated to a moderate or strong extent in slightly more than one-third of instances. Recommendations to better incorporate livelihood security into wildlife conservation projects are provided for project facilitators, including non-governmental organizations, funders, and government agencies.

▼ Community Based Natural Resource Management has been espoused by many as a way to move global environmental agendas for biodiversity protection forward. CBNRM places the locus of control and
management of resources closer to the communities that depend on them. This idealized view of
community based resource management has often proven to be challenging to implement. In this thesis the CBNRM literature is reviewed and a framework developed identifying the main criteria for successful CBNRM and the main explanations of failure in CBNRM. I then look at the role of CBNRM as a tool for rural economic development and wildlife conservation in Botswana with a case study of the village of Xai Xai. I spent approximately one year in Botswana, gaining a greater understanding of the implications of CBNRM in the country as a whole. I conclude overall, that CBNRM has not been successful in promoting either biodiversity protection or local economic development though there are certain exceptions throughout the country. I spent over three months in Xai Xai conducting interviews. I conclude that the project has led to limited wildlife conservation (or it is impossible to tell as there is no data), and has contributed in only a limited way to rural economic development and empowerment of the Basarwa. But the project has potentially led to increasing hostilities and declining cooperation and relationships within and among the ethnic groups in the village. This thesis shows through a specific case study, that there are many complexities at play when implementing a CBNRM project. The local context, knowledge and perspective must be taken into consideration or the success of the project may be doomed from the start. Possibly the premise of CBNRM may not be a realistic approach to begin with and other options should be considered.

▼ In the last two decades, legal reforms and development projects in Senegal have purported to transfer authority over thousands of hectares of forests, pastures, and fisheries from state agencies to local elected councils, customary chiefs, and user committees. Yet in addition to transferring official powers, these efforts have introduced new spatial categories and legal techniques such as local conventions and village protected sites. These tools alter the terrain on which state agencies, politicians, commercial interests, and customary leaders – not to mention the numerous groups whose livelihoods depend on these resources – seek to access and control
natural resources. By tracing the evolution of one of Senegal’s first
community forestry initiatives over a 17-year history, this article argues that decentralization has fixed forests in place and privatized common-property, while also disrupting the presumption of separate domains of “state” and “community”. Rather than creating territories governed by communities, the creation of village forests drew together customary authorities, local politicians, and forestry technicians in relations of mutual dependence and informal collaboration. One effect of decentralization has been the incorporation of new resources and property relations into networks of informalized and privatized state power.

▼ This thesis seeks to highlight the importance of a geographic and culturally specific knowledge base to guide natural resource management and governance policy, particularly within the West African context. In order to demonstrate the level of complexity that may exist within this realm, the Kedougou region of Senegal is used as a case study. Traditional Method of Subsistence (TMoS), Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK), and ethnic diversity are considered in order to validate the need to go beyond a superficial involvement of community within models such as Community-based Natural Resource Management (CBNRM). Focus groups were conducted for this case study in order to identify areas of similarity and difference that exist along ethnic lines. Two areas of concern that all ethnic groups agreed upon was a depletion of water resources and a diminished growing season that leads to an annual food shortage in the region. Three primary areas of difference were found to coincide with traditional ethnic boundaries in the region: traditional religious belief, wealth accumulation and social hierarchy. The findings of this research demonstrate that while areas of cohesive community concern may serve as a focal point for CBNRM programs, it is also important to consider areas of ethnic difference which hold the potential to significantly influence sustainable and equitable resource management. For example, while traction methods for intensified agriculture are identified as important by all ethnic groups represented in this thesis: (A) traditional agricultural ethnic groups already have experience with these methods, and may only need access to assistance such as micro-credit opportunities, (B) the pastoral ethnic groups already have an abundance of traction animals, and so equipment may be what is primarily needed, while (C) the horticultural group may not have access to the land necessary for optimal traction agriculture. It is therefore suggested that CBNRM programs must be structured around community variables found along cultural lines in order to be of value to government and non-government conservation programs and policy formation in the region.

▼ My research is focused on investigating the socio-political processes taking place within Community Based Natural Resource Management (CBNRM) in Tanzania. I draw on a political ecology approach in an investigation of the politics of struggles over natural resources, their management and the benefits that can be derived from this. I bring together theories of policy processes, African politics and scale into an examination of power within two case studies of CBNRM from the wildlife and forestry sectors. I carry out a comparative analysis of these case studies, employing a qualitative methodology based on semi-structured interviews, focus groups, participatory activities, participant observation and document analysis.
My research is clustered around three core themes. Firstly, I trace the process of policy reform that introduced CBNRM in both the forest and wildlife sectors, and examine the differences between the governance systems prescribed in policy as a result of these processes. The contrasts between the two sectors in Tanzanian CBNRM are important and multiple. Different policy pathways were adopted, relating to the distinct political economies of forest and wildlife resources and their politicisation within the context of power devolution for CBNRM. The prescribed governance systems in the two sectors contain important differences in the processes by which local communities can apply to participate in CBNRM, the mechanisms of revenue distribution, and the ways in which power is devolved to the local level.
Secondly I examine the implementation of these prescribed governance systems and their performance in reality through an exploration of the configurations of power set out in CBNRM, and the struggles that take place around these in ‘politics of scales’ as actors attempt to benefit from CBNRM. I examine the ways the governance systems have been adopted and adapted from those set out in CBNRM policy. I argue that the distinctions between the prescribed governance systems in the two sectors produce separate contexts of re-configuration into the performed governance systems within the case studies. However, I also argue that while the contexts are specific to each sector, both the case studies revealed the same underlying socio-political process of struggles over power to both manage and benefit from natural resources. These struggles to control and benefit from CBNRM are closely linked to the unequal distribution of benefits that were witnessed in both case studies.
Finally I examine the performance of CBNRM as an integration of systems of power set out in policy and hidden, often unacknowledged, local contours of power. I address the themes of how the reality of CBNRM differs from that set out in policy, examine the processes ongoing within the projects that permit and maintain elite capture and unequal distribution of benefits, and investigate the socio-political processes of corruption taking place within devolved environmental management. I argue that the struggles over power, combined with hidden…

▼ In recent decades, non-governmental organizations have acquired and established community forests and conservation areas in the U.S. However, there have been few empirical studies on their governance. This study focuses on the Blackfoot Community Conservation Area (BCCA) in the Blackfoot watershed of Montana, created in 2005. The BCCA is a 41,000 acre mosaic of private, state, and federal lands, including 5,600 acres known as the “Core” located near Ovando mountain and owned by the Blackfoot Challenge, a local watershed organization and leader in grassroots conservation. This research examined the definitions, activities and lessons learned over the past decade with regard to governing the BCCA and especially to operationalizing two of its key governance principles: community involvement and landscape connectivity through public-private partnerships. The research methodology involved personal interviews with BCCA Council members, review of BCCA Council meeting minutes and MOUs with partnering landowners, and analysis of resource management decisions and activities, specifically developing a motorized recreational use policy, and weed and forest management across the mixed ownership landscape. Regarding the community involvement principle, the research found that it was operationalized through four levels of involvement: (1) information-sharing, (2) perspective-gathering, (3) decision-making, and (4) BCCA Council membership. Close examination of motorized use planning showed the BCCA council has learned strategies to incorporate and reconcile conflicting values and interests in decision-making processes, which have included delegation to small work groups, cooperation, and evidence-based adaptation. Regarding landscape connectivity, the study found that BCCA partners share costs on noxious weed management, and that forest treatments in BCCA forests are carried out in light of the ecological and management context of adjacent ownerships. Shared commitments and regular communication between land managers foster relationship-building and the ad-hoc exchange of financial and technical resources. Nevertheless, administrative sideboards and financial limitations remain primary constraints to achieving broad goals, and most resources have been invested in the BCCA core. The study concludes with the necessity that the BCCA council focus on how to bring a broader array of community interests into decision-making processes and positions, notably BCCA council membership, and pursue diversified funding strategies for joint-projects with BCCA partners.

▼ ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The conservation of resources which fall under communal tenure has been a major dilemma for the past 60 years. In South Africa communal lands support more than a quarter of the country’s citizens, mostly the poorest members of society whose livelihoods rely heavily on natural resources. Wildlife enterprise is an alternative land use strategy for implementing community based resource management on communal lands. Additionally, safari hunting has been recognised as an efficient means of initiating wildlife based land use practises. In the 1980’s a community owned game reserve, which utilised safari hunting as an income source, was established on one of South Africa’s black homelands, the Ciskei. Since then, the reserve has been disbanded but little is known about how it operated, the reason it was formed or why it failed.
The aim of this study was twofold: firstly, to document and understand the happenings of a failed community owned hunting reserve in South Africa’s Eastern Cape Province and secondly, to determine what level of support there would be amongst the local residents if the reserve was to be re-established. Semi structured, qualitative interviews were conducted to gather information about the reserve from key informants. Structured, randomly selected household surveys were used to gauge local residents support on the idea of having the reserve re-established. Additionally, in doing so it was possible to view, though indirectly, the thoughts and attitudes of the residents to the notion of safari hunting as a land use option.
In review of the reserve history it was found that complexities that make up the social settings of communal lands in South Africa were ignored and dealt with through the age-old approach of top-down management regimes. Once the power of the initial authorities was lost the entire project was doomed to failure as local residents felt no need to keep the project alive. Results showed that 73.7% of the respondents would support the redevelopment of the Ntabethemba Reserve while 19.5% would not. The remaining 6.8% could not say whether they would or would not. The majority of the respondents (73%) believed that the area should be marketed for safari hunters, whilst 13% were against it, 9% were neutral and 5% were unsure.
The Ntabethemba Reserve can be viewed as a ‘joint-management’ project where management responsibilities were adopted by a non-community party. If a future project is to be undertaken it needs to be aware of the complex socio-ecological setting of the area and account for this in ways that are beyond those advocated in the traditional approach to protected area conservation. The highly skewed distribution of livestock ownership needs to be taken into consideration in that those few individuals who own the most livestock would lose the most from any development that reduces
grazing lands. Both the benefits and the costs need to be distributed in such a way that a situation is avoided where only a few are benefiting at the expense of others.

▼ The study was aimed at assessing perceptions of local communities on the use of coastal
natural resources in Coffee Bay and the “Hole in-the Wall” area. The environmental impact caused by non–compliance with environmental legislation was also assessed. Data was obtained through interviews conducted with members of 50 households chosen randomly and questionnaires that were distributed to government departments in charge of the resources. The study found that due to high illiteracy and unemployment in the area, people were compelled to use the available coastal
natural resources to satisfy their basic needs. About 70% of them were aware of the legislation but felt they could not comply with it since they had not been consulted. The study’s recommendations are that the
community should be consulted on legislation, more environmental awareness campaigns should be conducted and government plans should be aligned in terms of service delivery

▼ The study focused on the role of the local
community in the
management of wetland. The study was triggered by the lack of participation of the local
community in the
management of the wetland. It is important to note that wetlands perform a number of ecosystem services, some of which are well recognised, others less so, and are internationally recognised as being one of the most important ecosystems for the conservation of biodiversity. South Africa is a signatory to the international obligations, which makes it a legal responsibility to make sure that wetlands are managed appropriately. It is therefore important for these
natural resources to be managed appropriately. Information for generating data was obtained through the assessment of the wetland health and from the investigation of the
management of the local
community.
In order to achieve the objectives of the study, qualitative method was used to gather the necessary data. The findings indicate that the current state of the wetland is severely modified, which means large loss of
natural habitat, biota and basic ecosystem functions has occurred. The results also indicate that the
community is ill-equipped to manage the
resource appropriately. The findings therefore imply that immediate
management interventions must be developed to improve the health of the wetland. In improving the state of the wetland, the study recommends, amongst others, that mitigation measures aimed at improving the wetland health and participation of wetland users be promoted. An establishment of a
community-driven and multi-stakeholder intervention mechanism to help the
community manage and utilise the wetland properly is also recommended. The study concludes by indicating that the
community must comply with the environmental legislation and takes a lead in the
management of the wetland, for the aim of restoring the functionality and integrity of the wetland.

▼ Marine Areas for Responsible Artisanal Fishing (AMPR) have emerged as a new model for co-managing small-scale fisheries in Costa Rica, one that involves collaboration between fishers, government agencies and NGOs. This thesis aims to examine the context for collective action and co-
management by small-scale fishers; evaluate the design, implementation, and enforcement of AMPRs; and conduct a linguistic analysis of fisheries legislation. The present work relies on the analysis of several types of qualitative data, including interviews with 23 key informants, rapid rural assessments, and legal documents. Findings demonstrate the strong influence of economic factors for sustaining collective action, as well as the importance of certain types of external organizations for
community development and co-
management. Additionally, significant enforcement gaps and institutional deficiencies were identified in the work of regulating agencies. Legal analysis suggests that mechanisms for government accountability are unavailable and that legal discourse reflects some of the most salient problems in
management.

▼ My research is focused on investigating the socio-political processes taking place within Community Based Natural Resource Management (CBNRM) in Tanzania. I draw on a political ecology approach in an investigation of the politics of struggles over natural resources, their management and the benefits that can be derived from this. I bring together theories of policy processes, African politics and scale into an examination of power within two case studies of CBNRM from the wildlife and forestry sectors. I carry out a comparative analysis of these case studies, employing a qualitative methodology based on semi-structured interviews, focus groups, participatory activities, participant observation and document analysis. My research is clustered around three core themes. Firstly, I trace the process of policy reform that introduced CBNRM in both the forest and wildlife sectors, and examine the differences between the governance systems prescribed in policy as a result of these processes. The contrasts between the two sectors in Tanzanian CBNRM are important and multiple. Different policy pathways were adopted, relating to the distinct political economies of forest and wildlife resources and their politicisation within the context of power devolution for CBNRM. The prescribed governance systems in the two sectors contain important differences in the processes by which local communities can apply to participate in CBNRM, the mechanisms of revenue distribution, and the ways in which power is devolved to the local level. Secondly I examine the implementation of these prescribed governance systems and their performance in reality through an exploration of the configurations of power set out in CBNRM, and the struggles that take place around these in ‘politics of scales’ as actors attempt to benefit from CBNRM. I examine the ways the governance systems have been adopted and adapted from those set out in CBNRM policy. I argue that the distinctions between the prescribed governance systems in the two sectors produce separate contexts of re-configuration into the performed governance systems within the case studies. However, I also argue that while the contexts are specific to each sector, both the case studies revealed the same underlying socio-political process of struggles over power to both manage and benefit from natural resources. These struggles to control and benefit from CBNRM are closely linked to the unequal distribution of benefits that were witnessed in both case studies. Finally I examine the performance of CBNRM as an integration of systems of power set out in policy and hidden, often unacknowledged, local contours of power. I address the themes of how the reality of CBNRM differs from that set out in policy, examine the processes ongoing within the projects that permit and maintain elite capture and unequal distribution of benefits, and investigate the socio-political processes of corruption taking place within devolved environmental management. I argue that the struggles over power, combined with hidden aspects,…

▼ The enforcement of restrictions relating to the Dhauladhar Wildlife Sanctuary (DWLS) in Himachal Pradesh, India has catalyzed local
resource users into vigorous political action. Through a series of dramatic non-violent protests, villagers have expressed their opposition passionately and prominently. Paradoxically, the fight against the sanctuary appears to have galvanized area residents to protect their resources; villagers recently decided to create their own forest
management committee.
Based on data collect during two months’ intensive fieldwork in January 2009 and December 2010, I explore how environmental discourse has become embroiled in
resource politics at the village level. Emanating from centers of knowledge production and disseminated to the village level through mass media, children’s education, and other means, modern environmental discourses have shaped villagers’ most intimate understanding about their relationship to the
natural world. The widespread social consensus about the need to protect the environment has, in turn, set the discursive stage upon which political battles for
resource access must now be fought. Villagers’ decision to create a forest
management system serves to legitimize the social movement against the sanctuary while simultaneously serving as a potent symbol of local resistance, autonomy, and
management capability. More than purely instrumental, however, villagers’ decision is the
natural realization of their moral conviction about the need to protect their environment – accentuated through participation in the movement itself. In this thesis, I examine the way that discourse can function within democratic politics to engender pro-environmental behavior, theorize about the ability of the democratic system to promote governance innovations by enabling collective dissent, and explore the useful distinction between cognition and action in examining the environmental
subject. In the case of DWLS, environmental ideals and democratic politics have converged in the context of the battle against the sanctuary. Nevertheless, the necessary ingredients for similar outcomes may be present within many routine struggles for political power in
resource dependent communities worldwide – perhaps more prevalently than is presently recognized.

▼ The Botswana Community Based Natural Resources Management (CBNRM) programme started in 1989. Its aims were to promote sustainable development through sustainable natural resources management and utilisation to improve rural livelihoods. The country CBNRM programme has recorded mixed outcomes and this has raised questions on the programme performance throughout the country. Since the programme has been recognised as one of the eight main livelihood strategies for rural communities in Botswana, there was a need to evaluate the programme performance and determine the factors that influence it. This thesis therefore evaluated the performance of CBNRM projects along an aridity gradient in Botswana and by so doing answered the two research questions of: (1) What factors influence the performance of CBNRM? And (2) how does aridity influence the performance of CBNRM programmes? Performance was determined in terms of financial benefits generated by CBNRM projects and the projects adherence to the CBNRM principles. Data were collected from seven selected CBNRM projects covering three aridity zones (wet, medium rainfall and dry areas) in the country. Data were also collected from key informants and community based organisations (CBO) project managers. Research findings have indicated differences in the performance of CBNRM projects across the identified three aridity zones. Factors that influenced the performance of CBNRM projects varied among the three aridity zones. These factors included: existence of complimentary rules and regulations for managing CBNRM projects; literacy levels of communities involved in CBNRM; ethnic composition of the project communities; historic and current socio-economic trends within communities; collaboration between CBNRM institutions and other local level institutes; amount of benefits generated through the projects; ability of institutions to resolve outstanding issues in time and type of CBNRM project. Research results also indicated that there was variation in the performance of CBNRM projects across the three aridity zones. Aridity was found to directly influence the performance of CBNRM projects through its influence on the amount of revenues that projects generated.

▼ This dissertation examines a number of overlapping social and political implications associated with the implementation of Nepal’s Community Forestry Program. Based on several of the broad concerns of a post-structural political ecology, and
inspired by the work of Foucault, Escobar, Ferguson, Scott, and others, this study combines an examination of the policies and practices of the state, development and forest management with the myriad ways in which villagers adopt, embrace, manipulate,
redefine, and/or reconfigure community forestry as it is put into practice at the local level. The study is divided into two sections. The chapters of the first section explore the histories associated with the emergence and growth of the Nepal state,
the expansion of development, and the changes in forest policy culminating in the current policy and practices associated with community forestry. Community forestry policy is seen to represent the devolution or ‘decentralization’ of management control
to local communities. Through an examination of the practices associated with community forest management, this section argues, however, that contrary to claims of ‘decentralizing’ control, forest resources and the rural population are subject to an
expanding apparatus of ‘governmental’ control. The second section of this study is based on fieldwork conducted among three user groups in a single ‘village’ setting, and situates local management practices within the context of an expanding state and
the proliferation of numerous development imperatives. The chapters of this section highlight several aspects of social difference - caste and ethnic group membership, gender, wealth, education - that have salience for the outcome(s) associated with
community forestry as put into practice. Despite a diverse set of objectives to foster ‘participation’ and ‘empowerment’ of women, poor and other disadvantaged ‘community’ members, to promote ‘democracy,’ and simultaneously ‘depoliticize’ community
forestry, this study suggests that the community forestry program has instead opened a new political space within which local economic and political elite are able to expand their power and authority over forest management and local community development
within the village.

▼ This dissertation explores the impacts of participatory conservation on gender structure in the Mamirauá Sustainable Development Reserve (MSDR), Amazonas, Brazil. Generally, I am concerned with the social consequences of conservation initiatives for protected area residents-to what extent the participatory model is equitable for local people, particularly sub-groups such as women, and how gender hierarchies are affected by program participation. Using ethnographic and other qualitative methods, I investigate the transformation and reproduction of gender relations by analyzing how conservation initiatives shift the gender division of labor, empower women, and impact family and
community organization. This study shows that participatory conservation projects, which introduce or reinforce exogenous institutions and cultural ideologies such as a cash economy, wage labor, democratic representation, organized civic engagement, and egalitarian ideology, create fundamental, unintended shifts in local social organization. These changes have important implications for human well-being and equality as well as long-term social and environmental sustainability. My findings show that gender relations are shifted in a more egalitarian direction as women engage in new economic activities, create political space, and interact with outside social carriers, yet, in many ways, traditional gender relations, including norms and hierarchies, are reproduced. Programs remain focused on a traditional gender division of labor, reinforce cultural expectations regarding women's responsibility as the main providers of child care for dependent children, and do not address barriers to women's participation and leadership at the social-relational level, i.e., within marriages and families-both primary production sites of gender inequality. The changes in social organization produced through sustainable development and conservation projects cannot be ignored from a conservation perspective, as these shifts affect the ability of women, potentially a strong source of conservation support, to participate as conservationists and active
natural resource managers. Last, the introduction and reinforcement of these modern institutions creates such fundamental shifts in social organization that the prospects for long-term sustainability of the Sustainable Development Reserve (SDR) model are questionable. Examples of concerning changes include shifts in household structure and the attenuation of family cohesion as men and women leave their communities for days and weeks at a time for paid labor in conservation-related jobs; decreased agricultural production; a decline in communal traditions of labor reciprocity resulting from the loss of available adult workers within the household and
community; loss of intergenerational knowledge regarding
natural resource use and traditional economic activities; as well as shifts in livelihood and material aspirations among younger generations.

▼ Abstract
Community-
based natural resource management (CBNRM) is a widespread approach to improving the conservation and use of wildlife in sub-Saharan Africa. CBNRM promotes the devolution of rights to use wildlife to local
community landholders as a way of increasing access to economic benefits from the
resource and thereby create incentives for conservation. Despite over twenty years of development in east and southern Africa, there are few instances where such devolutionary reforms have occurred and this poses fundamental constraints to CBNRM, leading to increasing contemporary doubts regarding the efficacy of these strategies. Tanzania has undergone a process of wildlife sector reform since the early 1990’s aiming to decentralize
management to the local level. Foreign donors and conservation groups have provided substantial support to these reforms, but they have not resulted in substantive changes to wildlife
management in terms of local rights and benefits. Plausible reasons for the failure to devolve rights over wildlife to local communities over this period of time are the incentives of central wildlife authorities for maintaining control and its attendant opportunities for utilizing wildlife as a patronage
resource, and the lack of local participation in policy reform developments. The experiences of five other wildlife-rich countries in east and southern Africa with respect to developing and implementing similar wildlife policy reforms are reviewed and reveal both parallel and contrasting outcomes. These case studies suggest that relatively successful devolution occurs as a result of central leadership, with local demands for increased rights through participation in policy reform processes not a significant factor in reform outcomes in any instances. The incentives of central actors, in turn, are critically influenced by the values accessible to them through commercial utilization of wildlife on
community lands, principally through centrally controlled tourist hunting concessions, and the levels of institutional transparency and accountability in a given country. This suggests an important linkage between poor quality governance and wildlife conservation outcomes outside protected areas on
community lands in the region. More effective strategies for CBNRM reforms will need to take greater account of these political economic factors and the incentives they create among key actors.

▼ Climate change continues to affect the availability of water around the world, with agro-pastoral communities in East Africa being particularly hard hit. Effective, targeted water
management strategies are desperately needed if such populations are to continue thriving.
Community-
based natural resource management (CBNRM) represents a bottom-up approach in which local people from various social fields act collectively to address water scarcity concerns. This qualitative case study sought to explore and describe the factors that lead to the emergence of collective action within the context of CBNRM. The four research concepts that guided the study were: water access and use; common issues within the
community; levels of interaction; and sociodemographic characteristics. Seventeen interviews were conducted through purposive sampling of residents in Lamuria, an agro-pastoral village in Laikipia County, Kenya from March - July 2011. The study looked at collective action from an interactional field theory perspective and employed an interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) to analyze and synthesize the findings. The findings indicate that access to water is a significant concern for participants particularly during the dry seasons and in times of drought. Most of the participants retrieve their water from local rivers, although results varied when it came to boiling and treating the drinking water. Water groups do exist though it remains to be determined how closely they embody the principles of CBNRM. Participants were engaged in other forms of collective action through self-help groups focused on a variety local issues including agricultural enterprises, general health and welfare, education, and financing. Church and sports were the most popular events through which participants interacted with other
community members. The participants were deeply rooted in the
community with an average length of residence of 21.5 years and an average household size of 4.5 persons. Participants’ level of education and employment status varied. This study concludes with a series of implications and recommendations for applied work and research.

▼ This study illustrates the need for purposeful
community engagement, the significance of social capital and governance and the need for landholders to participate in the decision-making process regarding
natural resource management. It recognises that while the contribution of social science to
community based natural resource management has been significant over recent times; consideration of the links between government discourse and the generally less than favourable outcomes of
community based natural resource management has been at the most, minimal.
The study consists of a comparative study of two contrasting communities and two
natural resource management projects. One study focuses on the role of the regional NRM Board for the South Australian Arid Lands and its endeavour to engage with and assess outback communities in the region to undertake
natural resource management. The second study examines the attempts of a government authority to engage with a rural
community so as to administer a rehabilitation project of their lands.
Buy undertaking a comparative study of these two communities this thesis examines (1) the belief that strong networks, trust and transparency are prerequisites for the
management of
community based projects, (2)
community engagement and civic governance as prerequisites for the overall success of
natural resource management, and (3) the notions of
community and investigates the notion that if communities are to engage and work effectively for the purpose of
natural resource management, then they must mean something to the people both inside and outside of those communities.

▼ This thesis assesses the effectiveness of a community based adaptation (CBA) project in enhancing the institutional adaptive capacity of three koro communities (indigenous villages) to climate change in Fiji. The research helps to understand how adaptation projects can be better designed and implemented to respond to local needs and values while strengthening the adaptive capacity of local institutions. An in-depth understanding of the institutional dynamics in each study koro, and how these influence the outcomes of the Fiji CCA Project, was facilitated via an embedded ethnographic study. The study demonstrates that what differentiates CBA from other adaptation approaches is that it purposefully seeks to produce the kind of institutional outcomes that enable local actors to continuously mobilize collective action, inclusive decision-making and iterative learning towards immediate and long-term climate change adaptation goals.

▼ By presenting case studies from the village of Mahenye in Zimbabwe and the five villages of the Okavango
Community Trust in Botswana, the study looks beyond the objectives, discourse and contests of policy and undertakes an investigation of what actions rural people are undertaking inside the institutions established by policy makers, and of governance outcomes at the local level. These case studies reveal that unfettered devolution can lead to elite capture and the perpetuation of poverty; that rural communities themselves have agency and the ability to exercise it; and that there is limited and shrinking political space in both countries which is reducing opportunities for rural communities to engage with political processes. The Botswana case studies demonstrates that an imported and imposed devolutionary initiative which lacks links to higher levels of governance can reduce political space at local levels. The Zimbabwe case study demonstrates that political space may be more effectively created through decentralisation. The lesson drawn from these case studies is that institutional arrangements and roles should be determined by context specific issues and circumstances and move beyond the structural determinism that has characterized much of the CBNRM debate to date. The study concludes with policy recommendations. These include the need for recognition of the synergy between CBNRM and democratisation as mutually reinforcing processes and the need to be context-specific.

▼ The impacts of outside interventions on
community-
based natural resource management are inherently complex, particularly in dynamic political and environmental contexts. As development projects are increasingly participatory, the relationships between stakeholders have become as critical as the innovations themselves. Demands on safe water supplies among the most resourcestressed populations in West Africa are challenging development practitioners to reevaluate their partnerships to retain focus on
community need, rather than on operational imperatives. Fieldwork was conducted between 2006 and 2009 using complementary mixed methods to evaluate a range of structural and behavioral mechanisms shaping water
management among farming households in south-central Mali. Examining institutional support, in terms of policy and programming, along with the experiences and perceptions of water users, traditional village leadership, nongovernmental organization (NGO) staff, and government representatives, highlighted many challenges that limit sustainable collaborative development. A gendered-approach to data collection was used to delineate barriers and opportunities for decision-making by marginalized water users. The key challenges that limit the success of development efforts in improving water
resource management are 1) the legitimacy of
community-
based organizations that lack traditional authority as perceived by members of households, 2) poor perceptions of
resource-strapped decentralized government agencies by rural communities, and 3) superficial participation of marginalized populations in local decision-making. In the majority of the study villages, these challenges have led to the decline of institutional and physical infrastructure intended to improve local water
resource management. Opportunities do exist, however, to engage men and women differently in development interventions to increase participation, promote inclusion, and generate lasting partnerships among rural communities, NGOs, and government agencies. These opportunities require compromises to balance the legitimacy of traditional authority with outside development agendas. It is especially important for NGOs, whose roles in local
resource management and civil society often fill a necessary void left by government, to capture these opportunities. Keywords:

▼ Conservation is a well-established concept which exists in diverse forms
based on diverse meanings and environmental values. The role which communities play in local
resource management addresses many challenges in regards to top-down state
management over
natural resources. Communities’ ability to act as environmental agents is contingent on how willing nation-states are to devolve power and decision-making to communities. Co-
management relationships between
community and state is one means of devolving power and increasing
community agency. Where Indigenous communities are involved, co-
management is a way of shifting power, knowledge and resources away from Western centred norms towards Indigenous worldviews and institutions. In Aotearoa New Zealand, co-
management emerges across conservation efforts, from state managed levels to locally managed levels.
Community-
based conservation is one type of local co-
management.
This research aims to analyse the different experiences and perspectives of
community volunteers at the Manawa Karioi Ecological Restoration project in Island Bay, Wellington. The Manawa Karioi Ecological Restoration project is first and foremost a collaborative relationship between the volunteers of the Manawa Karioi Society and the whānau (family) of the Tapu Te Ranga marae. The land on which conservation occurs belongs to the Tapu Te Ranga marae, and therefore the longstanding relationship that the two groups have with one another goes a long way to explaining the effectiveness of restoration at Manawa Karioi. This research focuses on interviews from twelve different participants, both from the Tapu Te Ranga marae and the Manawa Karioi Society.
Through the conceptual lens of poststructuralism and political ecology, the key themes of this research will bring to light how the relationship between the Tapu Te Ranga marae and the Manawa Karioi Society enables process towards decolonisation of
community-
based conservation, wider societal understandings of nature and sense of place in nature. This research will explore the relationship between Manawa Karioi and the Tapu Te Ranga marae, with an aim to provoke further thought for other
community organisations who wish to engage with, or already have a form of relationship with, Iwi, hapu or whānau. In doing so this research can be offered as a frame of reference for such organisations.

▼ In the Pacific, customary marine tenure-ship and
management has been practised for centuries.
Community based marine
resource management (CBMRM) initiatives have seen governments, local communities and non-government organisations adopt various
management tools to improve coastal fisheries. Despite these efforts, there are growing concerns over the decline of fisheries resources and the subsequent social-ecological problems that affect coastal communities.
In the last three decades, Fiji, has implemented various forms of CBMRM initiatives with varying social-ecological successes. Marine
management and conservation efforts across the 410 qoliqoli areas (fishing grounds) are predominantly driven by Indigenous Taukei communities and non-government conservation organisations (NGOs). Over the past two years local communities, NGOs, and government have led and supported new
management efforts to improve fisheries sustainability in the country.
Non-Indigenous
resource users are limited by social and political policies to access and participate in coastal
resource management. Fijians of Indian descent (Indo-Fijians) represent the second-largest ethnic group in Fiji and are engaged in both subsistence and artisanal fisheries. Their involvement and participation within the broader socio- economic and socio-political aspects of coastal fisheries is considerable, however, remains hidden. Using a qualitative approach, this study explores the issues, challenges, and opportunities that Indo-Fijian communities experience in the coastal fisheries sector in Ba Province, Fiji.
Findings from the research illustrate the informal yet complex nature of socio-economic and socio-cultural
community relationships between customary Taukei qoliqoli owners and Indo-Fijian people. The role of Indo-Fijian women within the coastal fisheries sector is notable. The success of contemporary CBRMN in Fiji is dependent upon a re- imagined, re-adapted, diverse approach. Most importantly, this research provides an opportunity to foster discussion within contemporary
community based marine
management and conservation efforts currently in place by customary Taukei qoliqoli owners, conservation organisations and the government.

▼ Much has been claimed about the positive benefits of the customary marine tenure (CMT) system in the South Pacific and its implications for
resource management. In Solomon Islands the premise of effective
community-
based resource management (CBRM) as a contemporary
management tool, rests to a great degree on CMT, but does CMT still provide a sufficiently strong foundation to support this premise?
This research examines the social and environmental characteristics of two rural Solomon Islands coastal communities that have a long history in customary marine tenure; one with a strong chiefly system and the other one with a weaker chiefly system. The research gains insight into and an understanding of the experiences and lives of the villagers, given current debates on the need to address and move forward with the concept of CBRM with regards to the sustainability issues that they are currently confronting.
Using primarily qualitative methodologies the study focused on how marine resources are perceived and valued by different members of the
community. The findings suggest that in communities where a common agreement on CMT no longer exists there is a significant challenge to stakeholders in attaining the goal of sustainably managed coastal marine resources through
community based approaches. This challenge needs to be accounted for on a case by case basis as part of CBRM facilitation processes.
While this research may true for much of Solomon Islands, the case studies have revealed that although the villages are made up of families who are closely related they are not unified as a whole. Study findings suggest that the people retain a lingering vision of a small, integrated
community but have failed to grasp how their differences as a
community have affected their
resource management outcomes.
The present day communities are affected by many outside factors that did not exist when traditional
management systems were evolving. These factors bring
management challenges for which traditional arrangements were not designed to cope and thus many have severely destabilising effects on the performance of traditional systems.

▼ We reconstructed historical fire regimes of montane forest-grassland ecotones in the ~40,000 ha Valles Caldera National Preserve, New Mexico. We used a targeted approach to sample ancient fire-scarred trees along the ecotone, and compared variations in historical fire occurrence within and among valles in the grassland-forest. The resulting tree-ring record extends from 1240-2008 C.E., comprised of 2,443 fire scars from 330 trees representing 238 fire years during the period of analysis, 1601-1902 C.E. Our results confirm pre-1900 historical occurrence of high-frequency, low-severity surface fires over multiple centuries in the ecotone. Mean fire intervals for all fires were 5.5-22.5 years (~6-123 ha) at individual sites, 2.7-10 years (~67-4955 ha) in individual valles, and 1.6 years (~10 386 ha) across the landscape. Synchronous fires burned extensively and occurred at ~10 year intervals during years with significantly low PDSI. Results will be useful in planning forest/grassland restoration actions and reinstituting fire regimes.

▼ Airborne light detection and ranging (LiDAR) is a remote sensing technology that quantifies the travel time of photons emitted in pulses from a LiDAR instrument to travel to and reflect back from objects. Knowing the travel time for the photons and accounting for the speed of light, distances to objects from the instrument can be quantified. When LiDAR is acquired over forested areas some of the pulses will find canopy openings and "penetrate" to the ground with others striking the canopy at various heights above the ground, generating an XYZ point-cloud of eastings, northings, and elevations. Capitalizing on the information in these point-clouds from a June, 2003, acquisition in forested areas of Maine, we characterized the vertical profile of the canopy from which we computed LiDAR-derived explanatory variables for empirical modeling of various response variables (i.e., forest stand metrics, bird species abundance). The first aim of the research reported in this study was to assess the ability of LiDAR-derived explanatory variables to predict forest stand structure than can then be used as input in a suite of habitat-models that predict New England wildlife occurrences (called ECOSEARCH). Using regression analyses and field-collected data, we determined that LiDAR does a good job of predicting various forest stand metrics for the over- and understory (Adj. R2 >0.60 for 14 of 20 models developed). The second aim was to assess the ability of LiDAR-derived explanatory variables to directly predict mean bird abundance within forested areas during their breeding season. We derived a set of minimally correlated LiDAR-derived explanatory variables and used these in regression analyses to predict mean bird abundance from field surveys. Results indicate that LiDAR-derived explanatory variables were useful for predicting the mean abundance of 17 bird species (all with Adj. R2 > 0.2, with 5 models having Adj. R2 > 0.4). The third aim was to utilize the LiDAR-derived habitat-models and apply these across two study sites under varying management scenarios for assessments and planning purposes. Using a simple Euclidean distance metric and under various but realistic assumptions we were able to ascertain optimal management scenarios for five focal bird species.

▼ The following dissertation is composed of three stand-alone manuscripts. However all contribute to a working set of knowledge and techniques pertaining to the ecology and management of grizzly (Ursus arctos) and black (U. americanus) bears. In Chapter I, I studied the interaction of grizzly and black bear abundance with declining numbers of cutthroat trout along spawning stream reaches. We estimated numbers of grizzly bears and black bears visiting streams by 1) capturing hair from collection sites along 35 historically fished streams and 2) modeling individual DNA encounter histories. When compared to 1997-2000 levels, the number of spawning cutthroat trout per stream and the number of streams with cutthroat trout had decreased. We estimated that 48 (95% CI = 42-56) male and 23 (95% CI = 21-27) female grizzly bears visited the historically fished tributary streams during the 3-yr study. In any one year, 46 to 59 independent individuals (8-10% of estimated Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem [GYE] population) visited these streams. When compared with estimates from the 1997-2000 study and adjusted for equal effort, the number of grizzly bears using the stream corridors had decreased by 63%.In the second Chapter, I investigated the genetic consequences of management actions and genetic introgression on black bears. Due to changing management philosophies and policies in Yellowstone National Park (YNP), large numbers of black bears were removed (13 to 30% of population per annum) from the core of the ecosystem between 1930 and 1970. Using ancient DNA (aDNA) extraction techniques on historic specimens, we investigated whether these removals influenced genetic diversity of black bears within the GYE. While Ne values were found to be historically low (Ne point estimates of 19-87) since the early years of the Park, we observed only slight decreases in all diversity measures before and after the large-scale removal of black bears, likely due to gene flow from outside demes. However, the strength of genetic drift following removals may have been much more substantial without this outside introgression.Chapter III introduces a novel combination of anesthetics shown to be quite effective in immobilizing captive and wild grizzly bears. Fast induction of anesthesia, maintenance of healthy vital rates, and predictable recoveries are essential when immobilizing bears for research and management. We investigated these attributes in both captive and wild grizzly bears anesthetized with a combination of a reversible α2¬ agonist (dexmedetomidine) and a nonreversible glutamate agonist and tranquilizer (tiletamine and zolazepam, respectively). A smaller than expected dose of the combination (1.23 mg tiletamine, 1.23 mg zolazepam, and 6.04 µg dexmedetomidine per kg bear) produced reliable, fast ataxia (3.7 ± 0.5 min, ± SE) and workable anesthesia (8.1 ± 0.6 min) in captive adult grizzly bears. Contrary to previously published accounts of bear anesthesia with medetomidine, this combination produced less significant hypertension, hypoxemia,…

▼ Ecosystem restoration efforts that emulate
natural
disturbance processes and the legacies provided by these
disturbances are thought to be the most successful, but without a
clear understanding of how ecosystems regenerate after these
disturbances we do not have a good framework to design effective
restoration practices or the information to evaluate the success of
these restoration efforts. In order to obtain more holistic views
of ecological restoration there needs to be an integration of plant
and animal metrics utilized to evaluate success of practices. I
advocate that spiders are a good choice of indicator organism to
bridge this gap. My research focused specifically on the spider
community response to a variety of disturbances, ranging from
natural – stand replacing fires in jack pine stands of northern
Lower Michigan and catastrophic wind disturbance in mixed-hardwood
forests of northeastern Ohio, to human based – prescribed burning
of grasslands in central Ohio.Specifically, my research questions
are: 1.What is the spider
community responses and/or succession in
response to disturbances? 2. What do changes in spider
community
composition and structure reveal about habitat structure and
changes in post-disturbance ecosystem development? 3. Do those
spiders that are disturbance specialists share similar life traits
that we can use to classify all spiders on a spectrum from
disturbance specialist to disturbance avoiders?I found that there
are succession responses of the spider
community, and that the
vegetation structure and succession stage are primary drivers of
those changes. These differences affected the diversity, abundance,
and overall spider
community composition. Additionally, I found
that many species/families/guilds of spiders are indicator species
of habitat successional stages.By studying the changes in spider
communities (including
community composition, diversity and
abundance) we can gain insights into the development of ecosystems
impacted by disturbances, as well as insights into many aspects of
the habitat structure and quality. This information, in turn, can
be applied to active ecosystem to provide more holistic
evaluations.

▼ Public opinion polls show that people are generally
concerned about environmental problems. Yet, policies to address
environmental and
natural resource problems are often
controversial. The way an individual perceives an environmental
problem may influence his or her support for the policies to
address that issue. Likewise, an individual’s support for a
specific policy could influence the way he or she perceives the
problem. Therefore, an individual’s reasoning about an
environmental issue might be circular, with his or her values,
ideologies, affiliations and identities influencing perceptions
about the problem and policies to address the problem. This
dissertation examines how individuals in the Maumee River
Watershed, the largest of Lake Erie’s watersheds, perceive Lake
Erie’s algal bloom issue. The first chapter synthesizes the
previous research examining how individuals perceive and reason
about environmental problems and policies. Chapter 2 examines the
role the media plays in portraying and framing Lake Erie’s algal
blooms. Chapter 3 examines how agricultural, rural and urban
communities living near and distant to Lake Erie perceive and
discuss the algal blooms and policies to address the algal blooms.
Chapter 4 examines how different forms of farmer identity
contribute to how farmers perceive conservation practices. Chapter
5 provides a summary of the studies and discusses the implications
that public perception has on participatory decision-making in
natural resource contexts.
