Involving Indigenous peoples and traditional knowledge in natural resource management produces more equitable and successful outcomes, yet many progressive methods still fail to create truly equal partnerships, as argued by Anne Ross and co‑authors. This book offers a comprehensive and global overview of the theoretical, methodological, and practical dimensions of co‑management. The authors critically evaluate existing management options that claim to integrate Indigenous peoples and knowledge and outline an innovative Indigenous Stewardship Model as an alternative. The book presents detailed case studies and concrete application details across diverse contexts, making it a valuable resource for scholars, students, and professionals in resource management and environmental policy.
