The 12 cases presented here deal with a range of intervention strategies, methods and tools used to address community-based natural resource conflicts in a variety of social, environmental and regional settings. The collection includes cases from Africa, Asia and the Americas. The cases were selected by FONP as representative of general trends in the field of natural resource conflict management and resolution as identified in its previous publications. Each case guides readers through an in-depth analysis of the strategies, processes and tools utilized by different stakeholders and interested parties to address the conflict(s). The studies are focused and concise, and include guiding questions conflict(s) and discussion prompts for use by trainers and educators in the field of community-based natural resource management and conflict management. The case studies are intended for specialists, educators and trainers in the field of conflict management who seek analytical materials based on real-life cases for training purposes. However, the cases will also be of strong interest to a broader audience that includes policy-makers, project and programme managers and staff, extension officers, researchers and others concerned with the interface between community-based natural resource management and conflict issues.
