Communication and Natural Resource Management: An e-forum on perspectives, principles and future directions

Throughout September 2003, 49 individuals working in the field of communication and natural resource management (CNRM) participated in an on-line discussion jointly moderated by FAO and The Communication Initiative. This e-forum was based on a review of the book “Communication and Natural Resource Management: Experience/Theory.” Participants analysed the main results of the e-forum and made recommendations for future action. The online discussion, focused on the relation between theory and practice, questioning principles and guidelines which frame successful CNRM practice and ways in which to improve the use of communication for sustainable NRM.
