Responding to Environmental Issues Through Adaptive Collaborative Management: From Forest Communities to Global Actors
Responding to Environmental Issues Through Adaptive Collaborative Management: From Forest Communities to Global Actors has just come out (2023) and is open access. Co-edited by anthropologist Carol J. Pierce Colfer and forester Ravi Prabhu, it compiles the writings of a total of 45 authors, most of whom hail from developing countries. It is the second in a series – the other being Adaptive Collaborative Management of Forest Landscapes: Villagers, Bureaucrats and Civil Society (2022, also open access, see below). The genesis of these books involved a query to those partners who had participated in ACM's early days (2000s). What had they learned about ACM in the two intervening decades? This second book, which focuses on three islands in Indonesia (Sumatra, Sulawesi and Java) and five countries in sub-Saharan Africa (Cameroon, Kenya, Malawi, Uganda and Zimbabwe), includes three revisits to former ACM research sites from the early 2000s to assess what has endured and what has fallen away; new methods that build on the ACM approach; a thought experiment on how to scale up more effectively; and some ideas on how to support and encourage a 'culture of care', in our efforts to address environmental issues and those of the human beings who inhabit forested areas particularly.Editors: Carol J. Pierce Colfer and Ravi Prabhu
