    <pre> Generic material related to this topic is available through the website - NRM_changelinks: Improving the use of collaborative approaches within natural resource management <http://nrm.massey.ac.nz/changelinks/>

    This site provides an on-line guide for natural resource managers and others working to help communities identify and adopt more sustainable management practices. Links and on-site material provide approaches, information and theory in related fields such as sustainable development, adaptive management, collaborative learning, action research, facilitation, conflict resolution, information management and Internet use. How these fields interlink in practice is also illustrated.

    Although the emphasis of this site is on improving community participation and collaborative management within natural resource management (catchment management, biodiversity enhancement, conservation, riparian management, agriculture, etc), the approaches outlined here are also useful for those working in a diverse range of development areas such as rural development, health, housing, etc.

    Other pages provides information on conferences, discussion groups and job opportunities in the fields of environment and development.

    Feedback, comments, as well as suggestions for improvement and new links are welcomed.

    Regards Will

    09:10am >>> Hello:

    I would like to know about different projects working with indigenous peoples that include participatory workshops, extension, education, or community outreach efforts dealing with the value of biodiversity.

    Can anyone refer me to good examples?

    Thanks a lot,

    Maria
