In Search of Common Ground: adaptive Collaborative Management in Cameroon

Abstract

This book explores the relationship between adaptation and cooperation among forest communities in Cameroon as it relates to action, decision and learning. It contains 18 chapters grouped into three main themes. The first section presents the foundations of the research on adaptive collaborative management (ACM) in Cameroon, through analyses of decentralization policies and collaborative forest management. The second section focuses on the analyses of facilitation and action research as tools to manage pluralism. Finally, the third section discusses experiences that broaden the scope for understanding the forest-based livelihoods that give context to ACM in Cameroon. DA
