Beskrivelse
This book aims to contribute to the understanding of the building blocks and ethics of citizen involvement in environmental conservation by studying successful cases of shared environmental governance in the Americas, and to inform policy-making about behavioral change induction and the steps towards co-management of public national resources and THE COMMONS. The cases are analyzed from a geographical perspective to provide a framework to rethink eco-citizenship according to principles based on bioregionalism, a perspective that parts from viewing eco-citizenship as a global culture, and pleads for its re-embedding in the shared lived spaces of groups of citizens.
