It also offers a diverse set of case studies that reveal the challenges and implications of adaptive co-management thinking.

Editorial Reviews

Review

Adaptive Co-Management makes a strong contribution to scholarship and to practical applications. Grounded in real world examples, it will be very useful to those charged with implementing programs in wildlife, fisheries, climate change, and other management areas.
