“Crouching Tiger, Hidden Power”: A 25-year Strategic Advocacy Voyage of an Environmental NGO in China
Advocacy by civil society organizations such as non-governmental organizations (NGOs) is especially challenging in a constraining political context. The Government of China has invited such organizations to assist in addressing emergent environmental problems while also limiting political challenges from them. NGOs need to respond to these political externalities strategically. This paper navigates a quarter-century advocacy voyage by an iconic C…
Promise and reality of market-based environmental policy in China: Empirical analyses of the ecological restoration program on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau
The Large Dam Dilemma: An Exploration of the Impacts of Hydro Projects on People and the Environment in China
Large dam construction has significant environmental and social impacts at different scales. As the largest developing country in the world, China has built about half of the world’s large dams, and more are expected to be built over the next two decades to meet the country’s rapidly growing demand for energy. This book summarizes and updates information about the history, distribution, functions, and impacts of large dams, both globally and at C…

Trapping Farmer Communities Within Global Environmental Regimes: The Case of the Gelose Legislation in Madagascar
In 1996, the Malagasy Government issued the GELOSE law to provide a legal framework for the transfer of natural resources management rights to local communities. Eight years later, management transfers have been implemented in 451 sites, but a controversy exists about whether they genuinely favor community-based management. This article examines the GELOSE legislation in the light of a series of short case studies in order to identify its potenti…

Human use and conservation planning in Alpine areas of Northwestern Yunnan, China
An analytic approach to structuring co–management of community forests in Cameroon
While decentralization is a prominent theme in contemporary natural resource policy and management discourse, questions have been raised concerning the sustainability of participatory approaches. Drawing on theoretical and empirical research on common pool resource management and participation, we develop a framework to evaluate community–level stakeholders’ potential suitability for engagement in co–management. Four criteria are assessed: stake …
Community Participation in Ecotourism Benefits: The Link to Conservation Practices and Perspectives
Conservationists have increasingly turned to ecotourism to provide local economic benefits while maintaining ecosystem integrity. Research conducted in Costa Rica to examine models linking conservation and development indicates ecotourism's effectiveness as a conservation strategy has been mixed. Where ecotourism offers a viable economic alternative, tourism opportunities have induced people to abandon cultivated land, allowing forests to regener…
Assessing Tourists' Preferences for Recreational and Environmental Management Programs Central to the Sustainable Development of a Tourism Area in the Dominican Republic
The Interdependence of Ecosystem and Community Viability: A Theoretical Framework to Guide Research and Application
The effectiveness of efforts that integrate ecosystem conservation and community development is the focus of debate. This disagreement stems from the different values and expectations people place on this integration. While some people put priority on ecosystem viability and use development as a means to enhance conservation, others put priority on community viability and consider conservation a means to that end. The absence of a common theoreti…
