Abstract

Common features of successful community-based conservation and development initiatives are drawn from the finalists of the 2004 Equator Prize program managed by the UNDP. Through interviews, factors that contributed to the success of 24 finalists' initiatives are identified, focusing particularly on community organization and cross-scale institutional linkages. Factors include motivation and commitment of individuals concerned, participation, partnership and co-operation, funding, and capacity-building in organization and management. Emerging biodiversity conservation and poverty reduction research issues are raised.
