The Philippines has been a pioneer in granting communities greater involvement in managing natural resources, including forests, coastal resources, and irrigation water. Community-based natural resource management (CBNRM) has seemed the answer to improving both equity and sustainability, yet progress has been mixed. This book presents a collection of papers from a large review of Philippine CBNRM. As this study makes clear, CBNRM remains the nation's best hope for sustainability; it is thus important to identify ways to improve outcomes, both for natural resources and for local resource-dependent peoples.
