Description
The Caribbean Natural Resources Institute (CANARI) is an independent technical and research organisation,
which analyses and promotes the participatory management of natural resources in the
islands of the Caribbean. For more than twenty years, the Institute has developed a thorough knowledge
of issues related to participatory management. The results of its research and analysis in this
field have been disseminated throughout the Caribbean region through publications, technical assistance
and training.
Areas of Focus
At the core of the Institute's philosophy and vision is that the participation of all parties concerned
with natural resources and their use is essential for development that is equitable and sustainable.
CANARI's programme, which spans the entire insular Caribbean, comprises three main elements - research,
analysis and advocacy on the methods and institutions required for participatory
management. Themes include approaches to protected area management; capacity building for participatory
management; collaborative natural resource monitoring; and, locating livelihood strategies
in natural resource management.
