Abstract
Tradition is strong among the mountain people of Bhutan. Often it is tradition that
governs the sharing of resources, sometimes resulting in inequity and conflict.
Tradition sometimes governs research too, but when a team of researchers
abandoned the traditional approach to work directly with the communities, they
found that together they could break down the barriers and develop new ways to
ensure that valuable resources are both protected and equitably shared.
