SCAPES Governance Assessment Tool

The guide, tested in three of the SCAPES landscapes (the Ustyurt Plateau, the Kilimanjaro landscape and the Greater Madidi-Tambopata landscape), helps practitioners — from governments to civil society groups — to identify key groups that govern access to and use of natural resources in a given landscape, and to assess those groups’ strengths and weaknesses. That knowledge then allows practitioners to propose more efficient and sustainable conservation measures within the landscape.
