Abstract

Participatory modelling can be a useful process to encourage critical examination of livelihood options and foster sustainable natural resource use through enhanced social learning, collective action and mobilization. It involves stakeholders in the co-design and social learning of management solutions using models as an aid to help them visualise the wider social and bio-physical processes that they cannot see unaided.
