Beyond Fences Seeking Social Sustainability in Conservation: Volumes I & II


Beyond Fences is designed to help professionals involved in conservation initiatives to identify the social concerns that are relevant for their work, assess options for action and implement them. Volume 1 is a companion to a process of planning, evaluating or re-designing a conservation initiative; an experience of 'learning by doing' expected to involve a series of meetings and field-based activities. Volume 2 is a reference book to be consulted, as needed, at various stages in the same process.

To make it easier to navigate this document is broken down into a number of separate HTML pages. Just use the CONTENTS links below to visit a particular page, or you can use the links provided to browse from one section to the next. However, Beyond Fences is not meant to be read from start to finish. The first volume is a companion to a process, and is meant to be used following the requirements of the process itself. It is not a guide and does not spell out step-by-step procedures. The second is a reference resource, to be consulted on specific items as needs arise. A number of internal links are provided so that the volumes can be used in tandem. Note: To help you make the best use of these resources you will notice that as you click on a link within the text, the related resource material will open in a new browser window.

First time users are also advised to read the introductory material: How to use these volumes.
