Natural resource-related conflicts can be extremely destructive and undermine environmental protection. Since the 1990 s co-management schemes, whereby the management of resources is shared by public and/or private sector stakeholders, have been a main strategy for reducing these conflicts worldwide. Despite initial high hopes, in recent years co-management has been perceived as falling short of expectations. However, systematic assessments of its role in conflict prevention or mitigation are non-existent. Interviews with 584 residents from ten protected areas in Colombia revealed that co-management can be successful in reducing conflict at grassroots level, as long as some critical enabling conditions, such as effective participation in the co-management process, are fulfilled not only on paper but also by praxis. We hope these findings will re-incentivize global efforts to make co-management work in protected areas and other common pool resource contexts, such as fisheries, agriculture, forestry and water management.
与自然资源相关的冲突可能极具破坏性，并会破坏环境保护。自20世纪90年代以来，共同管理计划（即资源管理由公共和/或私营部门利益相关者共同承担）一直是全球减少此类冲突的主要策略。尽管最初寄予厚望，但近年来，共同管理被认为未达预期。然而，目前尚无对其在预防或缓解冲突中作用的系统评估。对哥伦比亚十个保护区的584名居民进行的访谈显示，只要一些关键的有利条件（如有效参与共同管理过程）不仅在书面上而且在实践中得到满足，共同管理就能成功减少基层冲突。我们希望这些研究结果将重新激发全球为使共同管理在保护区及其他共同资源领域（如渔业、农业、林业和水资源管理）发挥作用而做出的努力。
