Locally based monitoring is typically undertaken in areas in which communities have a close attachment to their natural resource base. We present a summary of work to develop a theoretical and practical understanding of locally based monitoring and we outline tests of this approach in research and practice over the past 20 years. Our tests show that locally based monitoring delivers credible data at local scale independent of external experts and can be used to inform local and national decision making within a short timeframe. We believe that monitoring conducted by and anchored in communities will gain in importance where scientist-led monitoring is sparse or too expensive to sustain and for ecosystem attributes in cases in which remote sensing cannot provide credible data. The spread of smartphone technology and online portals will further enhance the importance and usefulness of this discipline.
基于当地的监测通常在社区与自然资源基础联系紧密的地区开展。我们总结了相关工作，以从理论和实践层面理解基于当地的监测，并概述了过去20年里在研究和实践中对该方法的测试。我们的测试表明，基于当地的监测能够在不依赖外部专家的情况下，在地方层面提供可靠数据，并且可用于在短时间内为地方和国家决策提供信息。我们认为，在科学家主导的监测稀少或维持成本过高的地方，以及在遥感无法提供可靠数据的生态系统属性监测中，由社区开展并以社区为依托的监测将变得更加重要。智能手机技术和在线平台的普及将进一步提升这一学科的重要性和实用性。
