"The foregoing discussion interprets the community action to cooperate for conservation and management of CPR at Saigata, which they have now come to identify as 'my forest', as a Prisoner's Dilemma game, thereby reflecting individual choices in public goods interactions. It illustrates how cooperation among the members of the resource community can emerge in a population dominated by non-cooperators. Cooperation, however, fails to get a foothold if an individual or a scattered aggregate of cooperators attempts an interaction with the defectors. It can emerge and become established through interactions between a cluster of cooperating individuals using a nice strategy like the TFT and the unconditional defectors, provided these individuals have approximately 5% of their interactions with each other. Such an interaction results in an invasion of the entire environment by the cooperators, making cooperation to conserve CPR thrive at Saigata." |
