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.

Taking into consideration the fact that many ecosystems are under-represented in protected areas of land and water and traditional management methods have often been ineffective, this volume describes how improvements can be made. Specifically, it explores ways of ensuring that all major ecosystems are safeguarded, and innovative approaches to conservation involving individuals, communities, companies and governments. The essence of the approach taken in the text is to build partnerships with those who have a stake in the care of land and water resources.

Abstract: Inter-sectoral partnerships emerged as a new implementation measure for nature conservation and sustainable development. The concept of sustainable development has expanded beyond simply conserving the nature, and also involved meeting societal needs of parties involved. The potential of partnerships in fulfilling multi-disciplinary interests and bringing about unique collaborative advantages to parties makes them an emerging area of practice in addition to policies, regulations and incentives for realizing sustainability and conservation. Theories and models for partnership have been discussed at both intellectual and action levels locally and internationally. However, little has been done on understanding the dynamics and performance of partnerships in Hong Kong in relation to the desired outcomes as the aims and objectives of partnerships. Partnerships being claimed as one of the most effective ways of implementing sustainable development, there are few publications on evaluating a nature conservation project based on the performance of partnership itself. So are the local nature conservation projects successful regarding the partnership performance? Are there any essential attributes of partnerships that contribute to project success and if so, how? Such discussion on successful experience provides valuable information in understanding partnership as a concept and a way of practice. In-depth case studies on three local partnerships for nature conservation were conducted to explore the local understanding of and practice of partnerships with corresponding evaluation. Local information was obtained from case documentation and interviews with practitioners. Following a preset framework developed from relevant literature and readings, each case was evaluated based on partnership attributes as well as project and relational outcomes. Performance of and relationships between attributes and outcomes were examined through analysis within and across cases. Although current partnerships demonstrated advantageous features, they and their related evaluation practices did not achieve their full potential. Misinterpretation of partner relationships and imbalances in evaluation effort were observed in local cases. Nine attributes were identified as essential to project success and eight of them were positively related to outcomes, including commitment, willingness to negotiate, knowledge, pre-existing network, capacity to change, clear common goal, decision making power and mutuality. Findings also suggested attributes contributing to partnership sustainability emerged in older projects when partner relations and relational outcomes emerged. Although partnership features are expressed in local practice, misinterpretation of partner relations and insufficient evaluation coverage reduced the potential of partnerships. Mismatches were found in the valuation of partnership attributes between partners'' perception and reality which further reduced the efficiency and potential of local partnerships. An evaluation framework is constructed for local partnerships assessing their performance using partnership attributes. Suggestions in modifying and designing their practice through encompassing interests of all partners and ensuring performance of partners are given for both existing and future partnerships to enhance success. These measures can reduce later problems and increase the efficiency of p

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.
