Description
Book SynopsisThis book is a clear, compelling, and evidence-based assessment of the effectiveness of co-management boards in providing Indigenous peoples with genuine influence over land and wildlife decisions affecting their traditional territories.
Trade ReviewHis lucid treatment of critics and the continuing evolution of the boards up to the present is revelatory. This work is seminal for Canadians and instructive for states attempting to implement similar policies, an important contribution to the literature.
