The report provides coverage of conference presentations and activities.Text1 digital file (80 p. : ill.)enLIVELIHOODSENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENTENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTIONRIGHT TO NATURAL RESOURCES CONTROLPARTICIPATORY DEVELOPMENTRESOURCES MANAGEMENTENVIRONMENTAL ECONOMICSCONFERENCE REPORTSWorkshop Report
