The building blocks of community-based natural resource management. [...] Tenure can take a wide variety of forms and cover a broad range of rights, depending on the nature of the resource, the social relationships between those involved, and the costs of enforcing claims of varying complexity. [...] The problems of resource management and access by the poor often centre on CPRs and on the associated system of resource rights or tenure. [...] So the potential for resource management innovation rests partly on the rights of users, and partly on the characteristics of the ecosystem in question.
