Descripción
As the number of communities that have (partial) rights to manage forests has increased, so has the number of communities that engage with timber management in sustainable use protected areas. Guided by two research questions: (1) How do local communities and external organizations perceive timber co-management arrangements and logging activities in sustainable use protected areas? and (2) To what extent do these actors' perceptions vary?, I investigated actors’ perceptions of timber co-management arrangements and logging activities in three Brazilian Amazonian sustainable use protected areas. Based on participatory research methods involving both individual and group interviews, results suggest four main things: (1) strong and long-term partnerships among multiple actors can enhance positive perceptions of collaboration in co- management systems; (2) timber workers should be more involved in technical decision makings with external partner organizations; (3) Participatory budgeting can be key to equate perceptions on income generation; and (4) Conflict management can be imperative in co-management systems, still when underestimated by some of the co-management actors.
