- Abstract
- Each of the articles in this issue describe conservation initiatives that involve a central or relatively influential role for Indigenous Peoples and local communities, whether through a progressive governance shift or relative to mainstream conservation initiatives within an ecosystem or region. In this sense they represent innovative cases to learn from, and this is made possible by in-depth, multidisciplinary research and synthesis, documenting not only the ecological changes, but also the social and institutional dynamics that have unfolded at each site, sometimes over many years. The seven cases detail conservation efforts in diverse ecosystems and contexts, in Thailand, India, Yap in the Federated States of Micronesia, Madagascar, Kenya, Mexico and Indonesia. This combination makes for a valuable set of articles, which was challenging to identify, document and bring to fruition.
