“…31 However, these traits are common to community-based natural resource management (CBNRM) -another decentralised approach to achieving environmental, social and economic goals by balancing the exploitation and conservation of valued ecosystem components. 149 In CBNRM, voluntary local civic institutional arrangements are formed to manage natural resources, suggesting that it may be viewed as a form of stewardship 150 or as a mechanism for achieving stewardship of watersheds 151 , and wildlife and forests 152,153 , and for sustainable rural agriculture 154 . Further, developing social capital, collaborative partnerships and networks have been highlighted as key principles of CBNRM 155 , which is echoed in the stewardship metaphor 156 .…”

Stewardship is a popular term for the principles and actions aimed at improving sustainability and resilience of social-ecological systems at various scales and in different contexts. Participation in stewardship is voluntary, and is based on values of altruism and long-term benefits. At a global scale, ‘earth stewardship’ is viewed as a successor to earlier natural resource management systems. However, in South Africa, stewardship is narrowly applied to biodiversity conservation agreements on private land. Using a broader definition of stewardship, we identify all potentially related schemes that may contribute to sustainability and conservation outcomes. Stewardship schemes and actors are represented as a social network and placed in a simple typology based on objectives, mechanisms of action and operational scales. The predominant type was biodiversity stewardship programmes. The main actors were environmental non-governmental organisations participating in prominent bioregional landscape partnerships, together acting as important ‘bridging organisations’ within local stewardship networks. This bridging enables a high degree of collaboration between non-governmental and governmental bodies, especially provincial conservation agencies via mutual projects and conservation objectives. An unintended consequence may be that management accountability is relinquished or neglected by government because of inadequate implementation capacity. Other stewardship types, such as market-based and landscape initiatives, complemented primarily biodiversity ones, as part of national spatial conservation priorities. Not all schemes related to biodiversity, especially those involving common pool resources, markets and supply chains. Despite an apparent narrow biodiversity focus, there is evidence of diversification of scope to include more civic and community-level stewardship activities, in line with the earth stewardship metaphor.

AbstractPurpose -The aim of this article is to explore wildlife value orientation (WVO) beliefs of community members involved in the Miso Walai Homestay program in Lower Kinabatangan, Sabah. Design/methodology/approach -The researcher utilized the qualitative method of thematic analysis and the sampling technique of purposive/judgemental method which reached saturation point at 16 respondents, who were all local community employees of the Miso Walai Homestay program. A total of 13 semi-structured questions were posed to all interviewees in their native Bahasa Melayu language or English. Findings -Interviewees expressed preference for viewing wild species not in enclosed structures but in their natural habitat. This was also the view of tourists in the homestay program. This community recognizes that community-based ecotourism can be a means of habitat protection and income for both wildlife protection and the local community. Originality/value -This case study may not only contribute to an increased satisfaction level of tourists with the overall experience, but also to the attraction of new tourists, searching for a participatory role by simply choosing a homestay accommodation or physically contributing to conservation activities.

“…Many scholars have termed this as self-determination theory which is the very premise of motivation for participation. In practice, Self-determination theory holds the view that there exists varied types of motivation that are determined by the individuals level of autonomy (Bidii and Ngugi, 2014). The motivation are expressed in terms of individuals' reasons for doing the activity and the degree to which these reasons align with self-held values.…”

The twin goals of participatory forest management as adopted by many developing countries are to foster sustainable forest management and to reduce poverty. In Kenya, various legal and policy reforms have been introduced and attempts have been made to devolve use and forest management rights to local communities. It remains debatable whether communities' participation has yielded the intended improvements in livelihood and good governance. It would be no exaggeration to say that the study of forests and rural community livelihoods has been central to the development of scholarship on impacts of PFM on livelihoods. Equally certainly, the interest in forests has generated a need to consider the same in the light of urban forestry. This study based on participatory forest management program (PFM) in Ngong' Road forest in Nairobi City County and Kiptuget in Baringo County Kenya was conducted with the aims of establishing factors motivating members' participation and identifying and describing the conservation and income generating activities undertaken and their effects on members livelihoods. Quantitative and qualitative data was collected through questionnaires, interview of key informants, focus group discussions and literature reviews. The results show that in both NRFA and KICOFA, factors related to perceived benefits in terms of economic, social, factors, forest products and services, appreciation of nature and conservation were motivations for participation. Further, the study realized that despite the fact that both CFAs had an array of IGAs aimed at supplementing their livelihoods and easing pressure on the forest, NRFA had made more significant progress in terms of realizing these activities as compared to KICOFA. It was further realized that though there was a general similar trend in terms of average earning from engaging in PFM, the study noted that in both KICOFA and NRFA, averagely 50% of the members were satisfied with the benefits. It was further observed that majority of members both in KICOFA and NRFA indicated that PFM has had large positive impact on their livelihood and thus their household were in a better position that before joining the CFA.
