“…Expansion of actors involved in PA governance such as trust-run protected areas is initiated and managed by, or rely on help from informed private individuals. When people are actively involved in biodiversity conservation, their experience, understanding and insights into conservation are used to enhance, and support relevant issues (conservation efforts) and action of society (Dudley, 2008;Nelson, 2010;Clement & Guerrero-Gonzalez, 2020). In the United States, conservation NGOs have encouraged landowners to group together and create conservation Trusts (with or without concurrent land easements or servitudes) in exchange for tax incentives from state governments.…”

“…Decisions on nature management and use are not always fair and appropriate, as nature's benefits are not equitably shared, and richer countries and social elites become better placed to reap the benefits while poorer nations and communities bear the cost of biodiversity loss and get little or no benefit (IUCN, 2012). For example, effective PA governance has led to many successes; achieving greater coverage of PA (Convention on Biological Diversity, 2010;Walker et al, 2019); building networks leading to the protection of larger landscapes/seascapes (Nelson, 2010;Saura et al, 2018); realising effective conservation (Dudley, 2008;Baker et al, 2018); attaining greater savings and/or generation of resources to support visitations, and indigenous needs (Naughton-Treves, 2010: p. 235;Nelson, 2010); achieving resilient systems (Borrini-Feyerabend et al, 2006;Folke et al, 2005) and getting more people involved in conservation (Dudley, 2008;Clement & Guerrero-Gonzalez, 2020). To strike a better balance, and make the two approaches workable makes the effectiveness of protected area (PA) governance critical.…”

Governance in the management of biodiversity conservation serves to provide people, particularly vulnerable human societies with opportunities for livelihood, recreation and renewal, water, food, clear air, the genetic potential of wild species, cultural values and visitor opportunities to nature sites. The paper explores protected area governance processes and structures, particularly; the link between improved governance and improved PA outputs. The main components of protected area (PA) governance (including legitimacy and voice, direction, performance, fairness and accountability) in respect to linking PA governance and improved PA outcomes were examined. The paper explores the content analysis methodology to examine the link between PA governance and PA outcomes from the perspective of management effectiveness. Content analysis is a useful tool for exploring issues such as PA governance and outcomes from the perspective of the qualitative content analysis to interpret the symbolic construction of meanings. The content analysis applied both quantitatively and qualitatively approaches to systematically analyze written, verbal or visual documentation to provide a better understanding of issues relating to PA governance and how it relates to PA outcomes. Content analysis was used to develop frames from the extant literature. The results were used to make inferences about the key issues and conclusions raised in the literature under broad frameworks developed from the categorization of the content in the extant literature. The paper identified that the application of effective PA governance is critical to achieving conservation outcomes. Good PA governance that complements PA outcomes works best when factors including the coherence of rules and decision-making processes, proper networks are built, and decentralization works and is fully backed by relevant institutional reforms.

“…The preferred collaborative conservation governance offers practical benefits based on results and effectiveness. Good resource development and stakeholder capacity building assist in managing complex problems and conservation conflicts in the socio-ecological dynamics (Clement et al, 2020;Fisher et al, 2020). Therefore, the complexities, uncertainties, and environmental changes are overcome through a collaborative approach by complementing natural, social, institutional, human, and financial capital (Dressel, 2020;Cheok et al, 2020).…”

Natural resources and social conflict have a strong relationship. The current natural resource management problems have caused deforestation, resulting in unstable environmental ecosystems. Consequently, a movement towards mitigating natural resource management emerged because of the threat to the “Bekantan” Proboscis Monkey habitat and population in South Kalimantan Province. Indonesian Proboscis Monkey Friends (SBI) Foundation is a non-profit organization aiming to protect Proboscis monkeys on Curiak Island. SBI adopts collaborative resource governance in building stakeholder capacity with shared motivation and principles for collective action. Therefore, this study aimed to describe the collaborative governance process conducted on Proboscis Monkey conservation in Curiak Island. The results showed that anyone, including non-government organizations, could initiate collaboration in the several programs such as conservation, buy back the land and rambai mangrove restoration. Various parties collaborations are proven to successfully increase the support for environmental conservation efforts, especially the habitat and endemic proboscis monkeys.

“…Collaborative approaches are considered effective at bringing different people across multiple disciplines, perspectives, and experiences together to identify and achieve defined outcomes (Yang, 2017;Hartel et al, 2019;Hughes et al, 2020a). Additionally, collaborative approaches enable participants to decentralize decision-making and share power, foster fairness, and improve credibility and trust in project or policy processes (Singleton, 1998;Wondolleck and Yaffee, 2000;Carlsson and Berkes, 2005;Mattson et al, 2006;Clement et al, 2020). Moreover, collaboration can help groups access and leverage shared resources and funding opportunities, as well as foster co-learning amongst participants.…”

Grizzly bears are a threatened species in Alberta, Canada, and their conservation and management is guided by a provincial recovery plan. While empirical abundance and densities estimates have been completed for much of the province, empirical data are lacking for the northwest region of Alberta, a 2.8 million hectare area called Bear Management Area 1 (BMA 1). In part, this is due to limited staff capacity and funding to cover a vast geographic area, and a boreal landscape that is difficult to navigate. Using a collaborative approach, a multi-stakeholder working group called the Northwest Grizzly Bear Team (NGBT) was established to represent land use and grizzly bear interests across BMA 1. Collectively, we identified our project objectives using a Theory of Change approach, to articulate our interests and needs, and develop common ground to ultimately leverage human, social, financial and policy resources to implement the project. This included establishing 254 non-invasive genetic hair corral sampling sites across BMA 1, and using spatially explicit capture-recapture models to estimate grizzly bear density. Our results are two-fold: first we describe the process of developing and then operating within a collaborative, multi-stakeholder governance arrangement, and demonstrate how our approach was key to both improving relationships across stakeholders but also delivering on our grizzly bear project objectives; and, secondly we present the first-ever grizzly bear population estimate for BMA 1, including identifying 16 individual bears and estimating density at 0.70 grizzly bears/1,000 km2-the lowest recorded density of an established grizzly bear population in Alberta. Our results are not only necessary for taking action on one of Alberta's iconic species at risk, but also demonstrate the value and power of collaboration to achieve a conservation goal.
