adaptive co-management

Adaptive co-management is a collaborative approach to managing resources, combining the strengths of various stakeholders, such as communities, governments, and researchers. It involves ongoing learning and flexibility, allowing participants to adjust strategies based on new information or changing conditions. This process encourages local knowledge and participation, ensuring that management practices are effective and sustainable. By fostering communication and cooperation, adaptive co-management aims to balance ecological health with the needs and interests of people, leading to more resilient systems that can better withstand environmental and social challenges.
