“…However, impacts are not necessarily all positive. Several researchers have noted that impacts are diverse-some being positive, and some negative (e.g., [9,10]) and some researchers have identified significant negative impacts (e.g., [11][12][13][14]). One such example of negative impacts is when a local group's right to manage natural resources in the way that they see fit is constrained by a dependence upon external social actors or resources [15].…”

Conservation and environmental management have been reported as offering opportunities to substantially improve the wellbeing of Indigenous people. Using the holistic wellbeing impact evaluation (W-IE) approach—well suited for use in Indigenous communities—we interviewed 190 Indigenous Australians across four communities. All communities were involved in the Indigenous land and sea management programs (ILSMPs). Our study explored the conceptualisation of ‘wellbeing’ by participants. In particular, we were interested in the aspects of wellbeing perceived to be affected by ILSMPs. Out of the 26 wellbeing factors explored, ‘Health centres’; ‘Language’; ‘Schools’; and ‘Safe community’ emerged as being of highest importance to the largest percentage of the respondents. When grouped using principle components analysis (PCA), the ‘Community and society’ domain emerged as the most important; accounting for 52% of the overall importance of all wellbeing factors. The second most important domain was the ‘Country and culture’, contributing 31%. Lastly, ‘Economic aspects’ contributed only 17%. Respondents believed that ILSMPs have played a considerable causal role in improving wellbeing, by positively changing factors most important to them. Specifically, 73% of perceived causal links were related to improvements in the ‘Country and Culture’ and 23% to ‘Community and Society’ domain. We thus conclude that land management for Indigenous people is much more than ecological or environmental management with ILSMPs, perceived to cause a wide range of cultural and social benefits. We also propose ways in which the future design of such programs could be improved to further increase benefits.

“…How agreements, structure, and governance are designed and initiated adds to the understanding of specific context, levels of empowerment, enabling strategies, and stakeholder engagement (Snyman, 2018;Heslinga, Groote, & Vanclay, 2018;Schmidt & Uriely, 2018). The use of the community capitals framework by Stone and Nyaupane (2014) is a step forward in addressing the complexities of systems, discarding the cause and effect relationships for a broader solution-oriented impact. Reinforcement of community cohesion, environmental awareness and education, and enjoyment are intangible benefits that can lead to a new sense of responsibility towards protected areas, and ultimately strengthening an understanding and support for conservation efforts (Queiros & Mearns, 2018).…”

Tourism in protected areas not only plays an essential role in terms of contributing to the financial sustainability of protected areas but through effective and efficient benefit-sharing can positively impact numerous stakeholders within and beyond the protected area. This paper provides a brief analysis of the evolution of benefit-sharing from protected area tourism, discussing tangible and intangible benefits and highlighting that revenue-sharing is only one way of sharing benefits from tourism and protected areas. The paper highlights the complexity of benefit-sharing, the importance of identifying all relevant stakeholders, the challenges of ensuring equity and sustainability and the critical importance of good governance. The evolution of benefit-sharing mechanisms over time emphasises a continuing need to evolve and adapt to each unique situation, as much evidence indicates that little has changed for those living on the edge. Although this paper focuses on benefit-sharing from protected area tourism, it is essential to acknowledge that along with these benefits are costs associated with tourism, including possible increased local prices, loss of access to land, humanwildlife conflict, and other related costs. Recommendations for future research are included to encourage an ongoing evolution and improvement in benefit-sharing mechanisms.

“…The poor outcomes of top-down environmental conservation, the spread of democratic governance principles, and emergent transnational development goals (e.g., social justice, environmental health, and sustainability) have all contributed to the popularization of community-based natural resource management (CBNRM) programs [3][4][5]. CBNRM has been defined as comprehensively managing resources in a way that "integrates community development and biodiversity conservation" [6] (p. 172).…”

Community, Natural Resources, and Sustainability: Overview of an Interdisciplinary and International Literature

et al. 2020

The Special Issue Community, Natural Resources, and Sustainability seeks to engage in an interdisciplinary and international dialogue on the interrelationships of society, natural resources, and sustainability at the community level. In addition to introducing the twelve research articles published in this collection, we provide an overview of the existing literature on community and natural resource management, mainly through a review of previous reviews and a bibliometric analysis. While this literature is dominated by studies on various aspects of community-based natural resource management, the present Special Issue showcases multiple thematic areas of research that collectively contribute to a more complete understanding of the community-resources-sustainability linkages. Our review also pinpoints important gaps in existing meta-analyses and bibliometric analyses. Promising directions for future research are highlighted.
