Individuals (aka CBNRM Net's Hall of Fame)

Introduction

This Item contains names of the individuals and organizations that are supporting CBNRM Net in one way or another (see also Page News).

A number of individuals have contributed to realizing, building and maintaining CBNRM Net. Many of them are doing so on a regular basis. This kind of community participation is a necessary precondition for providing the services of CBNRM Net, given that there is, as of yet, no funding available. Equally important, it is an essential part of the philosophy behind CBNRM Net, that is, in order to provide tools and services that reflects the needs of CBNRM stakeholders, these stakeholders have to identify with the website. This, again, necessitates their involvement in tailoring CBNRM Net and the web site to their needs. The strong emphasis on the reciprocal use and production of CBNRM knowledge speaks to this focus on user involvement and user management.
