Book Partnerships in Nature Conservation

Download or read book Partnerships in Nature Conservation written by Annabel Jane Barker and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examines and defines partnerships in the context of nature conservation and seeks to identify the distinctive forms of those partnerships. Three case studies of partnership are developed: Highland Forum; Sussex Local Community Initiatives Project and the Cleveland Industry and Nature Conservation Association. The historical context of partnerships in nature conservation and the theoretical background to partnerships in other fields is traced. The research methodology employs qualitative techniques of semi-structured interviews, document analysis and observation to construct case records. For each case study there is an analysis of its origins and motivations, the nature of the partnership, the stakeholders, the mode of operation, the role of catalytic personalities and the range of limiting factors. The study has found that there does not appear to be a distinctive manifestation of partnership within the context of nature conservation. New definitions of partnership in terms of task or process orientation are advanced. Several aspects of collaboration were discovered to be significant : the presence or absence of 'key stakeholders'; primary partner core discipline; perceptions and attitudes; territoriality; communication and socialisation; and self-interest in terms of motivation. Facilitation, was found to be important, particularly the role of the development activist. Consideration of process has enabled a model of organisational learning to be derived. Additionally, four models of partnership have been generated to demonstrate the variety of forms of partnership which may emerge. Finally, the partnership concept has been found to be a transferable concept, particularly suited to achieving the long term objectives of nature conservation.

Book The Role of Public Private Partnerships and the Third Sector in Conserving Heritage Buildings  Sites  and Historic Urban Areas

Download or read book The Role of Public Private Partnerships and the Third Sector in Conserving Heritage Buildings Sites and Historic Urban Areas written by Susan Macdonald and published by . This book was released on 2014-06-15 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The conservation of cultural heritage requires the involvement of multiple actors from across the public, private, and nongovernmental, or third, sectors, not only to initiate and carry out conservation but also to sustain heritage places. The conservation of the historic urban environment poses specific and urgent challenges that require a multidisciplinary approach in which conservation actions are embedded within economic, social, and environmental development strategies. Increasingly, the private and third sectors are playing a pivotal role in these processes. Public-private partnerships (PPPs) are contractual arrangements in which the private and/or third sector assists in delivering a public facility or service by providing funding or operating leadership. The third sector, which may include heritage-related NGOs, as well as people living near a heritage site, is of particular relevance to PPPs used for heritage conservation. This publication focuses specifically on the use of PPPs for historic buildings and historic urban areas, and is targeted to those working in the cultural heritage sector. It draws on existing literature, which it aims to make more accessible to those interested in cultural heritage conservation. While providing information on the basic concepts of public-private partnerships and the roles and responsibilities of the partners in a PPP, this is not a guide to the use of PPPs. It discusses the types of PPPs that have been used to conserve historic buildings and historic urban areas, provides specific examples of where and how they have been used, and demonstrates ways in which PPP mechanisms have met conservation goals. This publication also makes some limited observations on the aims of PPPs drawn from the literature, from published case studies, and from a few further case study investigations. This publication draws on English-language works produced between 1992 and 2012, but concentrates on the more recent literature. Much of this material is from the Australia, the United Kingdom, and other European nations that have been the most active in conducting PPPs for heritage resources and in publishing information about these projects. This overview includes an extensive bibliography and provides some suggestions of topics for further research.

Book The PARTNERS Principles for Community Based Conservation

Download or read book The PARTNERS Principles for Community Based Conservation written by Charudutt Mishra and published by . This book was released on 2016-10-15 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our planet is witnessing the sixth mass extinction of species. We are trying to tackle this crisis almost on a war footing, with all the trappings and machinery of combat - fences, guns, protected areas, and a suite of top-down laws and policies.But we haven't been able to stop the bleeding. This book argues that we will not stanch the flow unless we are willing to change our fundamental attitude towards people - people who live in our last remaining natural areas, whose lives depend on these ecosystems, and who are most affected - negatively - by policies and actions designed to protect biodiversity. To conserve our natural ecosystems and species, we must gain the support of local people. Yet, this is more easily said than done.How does one engage with local communities and garner their support for conservation? Unlike protected areas, whose governance and management have been formalised worldwide, there are no clear-cut frameworks for community-based conservation, no universally accepted guidelines. This book is an attempt to fill that void. It should interest all who care about preserving the earth's wild species and ecosystems. This book is founded on two decades of experience working with local communities to conserve the high mountain habitats of the endangered snow leopard in various parts of Asia - the Himalayas, Altai, Tien Shan, Hindu Kush, Pamirs, and the Tibetan Plateau. Drawing from this wealth of experience, Dr. Charu Mishra and his colleagues at the Snow Leopard Trust distil eight principles of community-based conservation, discussing them with candor and pragmatism.These 'PARTNERS Principles' are a blend of the practical and the ethical.

Book Developing Effective Partnerships Between the Department of Conservation and Community Groups

Download or read book Developing Effective Partnerships Between the Department of Conservation and Community Groups written by Carla Wilson and published by . This book was released on 2005-01-01 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report identifies the types of partnerships the New Zealand Department of Conservation (DOC) has with community groups; the key features of effective partnerships with community groups; and the key factors that must be considered when partnerships between DOC and community groups are developed. The research is based on seven case studies of partnerships using qualitative in-depth research methods. The role of communities and community partnerships in conservation is reviewed in order to help define the nature and characteristics of partnerships between DOC and community groups. The key lessons from the case studies in terms of the features of effective partnerships are discussed. The various roles and levels of involvement of DOC and DOC staff can influence the purpose, dynamics, and success of partnerships. Sometimes DOC needs to take a lead in developing partnerships in order to involve a range of communities, and both DOC and the community groups need to be flexible and able to change as partnership projects develop.
