Why is it important?

It is an essential study to any community pursuing natural resources management. It provides nuggets on how to have cohesive and well-knitted communities that can work together to achieve a common goal.

Perspectives

I hope this article will benefit all groups who utilise natural resources, i.e. forestry, marine, wildlife, conservation and mining. It is my belief that if communities unite, nothing can stop them to attain their goals.
