Conservation LandsIndigenous and Local Communities and Protected Areas: Towards Equity and Enhanced Conservation Guidance on policy and practice for Co-managed Protected Areas and Community Conserved Areas
Exploring protected area approaches and models that see conservation as fully compatible with human communities and considering communities as an asset to conservation, these guidelines offer considerations, concepts and ideas on how to engage indigenous peoples and local communities in protected area management. The material illustrated and discussed in this IUCN publication is mostly based on the results of work commissioned by the Theme on Indigenous and Local Communities, Equity and Protected Areas (TILCEPA).The guidelines do not prescribe blue print solutions, but offer a menu of options for action, to be reviewed and adapted to their circumstances.
