Lessons from the community-based management of a giant fish, Arapaima gÍgas, in Central Guyana BY Damian Fernandes A Thesis/Practicum submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies of The University of Manitoba in partial fulfillment of the requirement of the degree of MASTER OF' NATURAL RESOT]RCES MANAGEMENT Damian tr'ernandes O 2006 Permission has been granted to the Library of the University of Manitoba to lend or sell copies of this thesis/practicum, to the National Library of Canada to microfilm this thesis and to lend or sell copies of the film, and to University Microfilms Inc. to publish an abstract of this thesis/practicum. This reproduction or copy of this thesis has been made available by authority of the copyright o\ryner solely for the purpose of private study and research, and may only be reproduced and copied as permitted by copyright laws or with express written authorization from the copyright owner. Abstract This study aims to identiff lessons in how community-based conservation can be facilitated. The problems and potential of community-based conservation can only be understood by examining the histories of projects where community-based management has been planned and implemented. This thesis is based on one such examination; a case- study of the Arapaima Management Project in Central Çuyana. The objectives of the study were to: a) investigate the role of community self-organisation in the development of the Project; b) examine the role of cross-scale institutional linkages in facilitating or hindering the Project; and c) identiff tools or interventions that can be used by NGOs and community organisations to increase governmental support for community-based conservation. Guyanese law forbids harvesting of the Arapaima gtgas, but is rarely enforced. The Project includes a community imposed harvesting ban, the formation of fisher groups at village and regional levels, a local monitoring program, river check points, and community education and awareness campaigns. The Project aims to implement a quota based harvesting system in the long term. Field data were collected from July to November 2003, using Rapid Rural Appraisal and semi-structured interviews. A total of thirfy-nine (n:39) semi-structured interviews targeting fishery committee members (40%) and Arapaima fishers (-10.5%) were carried out in ten (10) communities. Government officials and NGos representatives were also interviewed (n:6). To date surveyed Arapaima populations have increased threefold, suggesting that management is contributing to the conservation of the species. Transfer of management authority to the communities has stalled, largely due to lack of Government commitment at senior levels. Planned harvesting has therefore yet to occur, and no d.irect income has been generated by the initiative. Project activities appear to have influenced social nonns, resulting in informal social pressure that has been more effective in enforcing the ban than more formal mechanisms, many of which are non-functional. The initiative highlights that local self-organisation for community-based conservation may be best facilitated through: 1) problem definition that involves a fine-scale, community-level approach to capture the perspectives of resource users; 2) a core goup of dedicated and committed individuals; 3) extemal groups that act as key transformative forces; 4) culturally sensitive environmental education and associated changes in social norms; 5) community-based monitoring which draws upon local knowledge; and 6) stock recovery as a starting point for community involvement in management. Effective cross- scale linkages for community-based conservation may be encouraged by 7) individual relationships based on respect, trust and reciprocity; 8) involvement of organisations that can navigate within, and link between, multiple levels of organisation; and 9) State endorsement of community management authority. Some tools or interventions that can increase governmental support for community-based conservation include 10) Local participation in stock recovery; 1l) third body recognition and legitimization of community institutions; 12) appropriate training for researchers and managers to effectively navigate the political process; 13) interaction between fishers and Government; 14) activities that increase project visibility, and promote dialogue between Government and Project persorurel. In the end, successful community-based conservation may boil down to 15) a good understanding of the local culture and history of resource use in the area; 16) a recognition that effective management takes time to develop; and 17) the right ingredients at the right time. Acknowledgements Thanking everyone who helped me on this journey would require its own document. Although preparing such a document would certainly be gratifying, I will defer my gratification for the sake of practicality this once. Let me begin by thanking the people of the North Rupununi, who welcomed me into their homes and lives during my time in the communities. Without their participation and generosity this thesis would have been impossible, and I would not be the person I am today. Special thanks to the North Rupununi District Development Board, the Bina Hill Institute, Eugene Issacs, Emily Allicock, Ellen Davis and Paulette Allicock for their help, conversation and friendship. Thanks to the Iwokrama International Centre, especially Graham, Aiesha, Deidre, Indrannee, Odacy, Sambhu, Samantha and Shivon, for treating me like I never left, and giving me the space to grow both as a researcher and as an individual.

I would also like to thank the students and faculty of the Natural Resources Institute, in parLicular Julie, Jessica, Jane and Manju for making Winnipeg a little \¡/arrner. I would especially like to thank my advisor, Dr. Fikret Berkes, who was always generous with his wisdom, guidance and support I would also like to acknowledge my family. Thanks to Nanni, for staying with me, even after you left; and to my parents, Robert and Luana Fernandes, for always lending their wisdom, love and shoulders whenever I need them.

  • ENVIRONMENTAL CLUBS MAKUSHI YOUTH North
    Running head: ENVIRONMENTAL CLUBS MAKUSHI YOUTH North Rupununi Wildlife Clubs: Makushi Amerindians’ Perceptions of Environmental Education and Positive Youth Development in Guyana Dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy Presented to the Faculty of Education University of Ottawa 20 June 2016 Ph.D. Candidate: Julie Comber Director: Dr. Bernard W. Andrews Thesis Committee Members: Dr. Richard Maclure Dr. Nicholas Ng-A-Fook Dr. Giuliano Reis External Examiner: Dr. Lisa Taylor ©Julie Comber, Ottawa, Canada, 2016 ENVIRONMENTAL CLUBS MAKUSHI YOUTH II Abstract This doctoral research studied the North Rupununi Wildlife Clubs (NRWC), an Environmental Education (EE) Program for Makushi Amerindian youth in Guyana. The Club format for EE has become popular, and previous research on EE Club programs provide modest support for the hypothesis that EE Club membership increases pro-environmental attitudes and behaviour in children and youth. There is also increasing interest in the role EE Clubs can play in nurturing Positive Youth Development (PYD). This multi-site case study describes EE Clubs in three villages in the North Rupununi of Guyana. Data was collected from semi-structured interviews and focus groups with stakeholders (such as former Club members, volunteers with the Clubs, Elders, and village leaders). The researcher also kept a reflective journal. Findings suggest community members valued the positive impact they perceived participation in NRWC to have on youth and upon their community. Participants offered recommendations on how to improve the program. One of the original findings is that the Clubs may be a way to help reconnect indigenous youth with their elders and restore the transmission of Indigenous Knowledge.
