Abstract
Participatory environmental conservation integrates the rights and needs of local peoples with conservation objectives and methods. With this relatively new system, there can and should be reciprocal benefits for the local community and the local environment. However, there is much to be learned in the area of participatory conservation. Based on over two years of field experience and research, I identify successful strategies, possible improvements, and shortcomings of participatory conservation efforts in the Philippines. Given an understanding of local context, I specifically assess a project run by a local fisherfolks' association on the island of Siquijor in the Central Visayas region of the Philippines. What strategies can/should be implemented in local, national, and international conservation and sustainable development projects? In this thesis, I present my experiences in the field, the research case study conducted on the island of Siquijor, and the implications of this study.
