Introduction

This Item contains a select list of the large and growing number of web sites that link to the CBNRM Net web site. The sites listed cover a broad range of subjects, including advocacy, development / aid, knowledge management, natural resource management, research, training and capacity building, and strategic communication. Some are focused on specific sectors or subsistence practices. Others cover a specific country or present an NGO. Organizations and NGOs that CBNRM Net is a member of are included. The links include general references to CBNRM Net website as well as to specific pages and documents. In several cases, the references organizations and projects have closed, and the respective websites are not anymore available.

While these web sites in many cases are listed elsewhere on the CBNRM Net web site, it is worthwhile to list them together here, in the interest of acknowledging them, to reciprocate links to the CBNRM Net web site, to contribute to the sharing and dissemination of CBNRM knowledge and experiences, as witness of the growing collaboration and networking between stakeholders in the global CBNRM community of practice, as evidence of the growing CBNRM hyperlink network, and as proof of the increasingly important role of CBNRM.
