Collaborative adaptive management in practice : case studies from Arizona and New Mexico
Collaborative adaptive management (CAM) is a natural resource management approach in which a diverse group of stakeholders iteratively plan, implement, monitor, evaluate and adjust management actions to reduce uncertainty and improve decisions over time. In practice, few examples of successful CAM …
