Community-Based Collaboration: Bridging Socio-Ecological Research and Practice

<p><p>The debate over the value of community-based environmental collaboration<br /> is one that dominates current discussions of the management of public lands and other resources.<br /> In <i>Community-Based Collaboration: Bridging Socio-Ecological Research and<br /> Practice,</i> the volume’s contributors offer an in-depth interdisciplinary<br /> exploration of what attracts people to this collaborative mode. The authors address the new<br /> institutional roles adopted by community-based collaborators and their interaction with existing<br /> governance institutions in order to achieve more holistic solutions to complex environmental<br /> challenges.</p><p> <i>Contributors:</i></p>Heidi L.
