Community-Based Ecological Monitoring: Manual for Practitioners

Abstract

From p. 5: "The methodology described in this manual was developed in the context of the work of SAFIRE (Southern Alliance for Indigenous Resources), a non-governmental organisation which implements benefit-driven natural resource management in rural areas of Zimbabwe and Zambia. In SAFIRE, a two-year process was conducted to develop an ecological monitoring tool which would be adapted to the needs of both resource users and field staff. With this manual, we want to support the usage of our experiences in Zimbabwe and worldwide."
