Environment to design a collaborative management program for the conservation of the Asiatic
cheetah and related biota and habitat.
From 1994 to 1997, as Head of the IUCN Social Policy Program, I regularly provided advice to IUCN
staff, members and partners. This involved assisting them first-hand in field-based initiatives (e.g.
protected area management, integrated conservation and development projects, community
involvement in policy review and planning) as well as reviewing and providing comments and
recommendations to a constant stream of plans and reports. From Nov 1993 to Feb 1998, my field-
based missions for IUCN dealt with:
collaborative management of protected areas in Uganda (Mt. Elgon and other locations)
Dr. Grazia Borrini-Feyerabend/ CV March 2011 page 4
participatory management of the Waza Logone floodplain and Waza Park (Cameroun)
institutional development of the Bijagos Biosphere Reserve (Guinea Bissau)
participatory management of Tanga coastal resources (Tanzania)
participatory management of the Upper Zambesi flooded plains (Zambia)
participatory management of buffer zones of protected areas (Nepal)
collaborative management of Mt. Kilum forest (Cameroun)
involving local communities in Park management (South Africa)
involving local communities in the management of palm forests (Niger)
For most of the above missions, the result has been project re-organising and strengthening, and
renewed motivation of IUCN staff and partners.
In addition, I facilitated joint planning and learning workshops in Uganda and Pakistan. In Uganda,
the workshop gathered representatives of all main national stakeholders— governmental, non-
governmental and local— to re-orient the protected area management approach in the whole country.
In Pakistan, the workshop seeded a regional programme on Collaborative Management of Protected
Areas in the Asian Region.
In 1992 and 1993, I carried out field missions for IIED and FAO in Zimbabwe, Uganda, Costa Rica,
Ecuador, India, Jamaica and Tanzania. These were fact-finding missions, collecting information
from various sources and developing a critical analysis of community involvement in primary
environmental care, and/or missions to facilitate community-based assessment and planning. I also
organised and run training workshops for environmental managers and planners, and liased among
NGOs, government staff and donor agencies.
In the field of public health, I organised and supervised a number of technical support initiatives in
Brazil (urban municipalities of Salvador da Bahia, 1990, and Fortaleza, 1991), in Ethiopia (rural
municipalities in the Sidamo region, 1988 and 1989) and in Tanzania (Hai district, 1989). Issues
included environmental health, community organising and health service management. Support was
provided mostly through participatory action research (e.g. facilitating local squatter communities and
district health service staff to identify their best ways of collaborating towards preventive health care;
analysing factors affecting the ‗drop out‘ rate of community health workers; supporting local interest
groups to interact with district authorities on health and development initiatives; etc.).
2. contributing to policies and managing institutional programs
Since 2008, I have been coordinating the ICCA Consortium, an association of organisations
representing indigenous peoples and local communities and supporting NGOs. The association was
created informally in October 2008 and acquired legal status in Switzerland on July 2010. The
Consortium, which exists to promote the appropriate recognition of ICCAs (indigenous peoples’
conserved territories and areas conserved by local communities), has been active at international
policy gatherings (CBD, EMRIP, IUCN, UNPFII), has co-sponsored international and national events
and publications and has provided advice to IUCN and UNEP/WCMC. The Consortium maintains an
extensive web site available on ICCAs (www.iccaforum.org).
Since 2008, I have been Vice-chair for Europe of the IUCN Commission on Environmental, Economic
and Social Policy (CEESP), focusing on CBD policy on governance of natural resources. Prior to that
(2000 to 2008) I was Vice Chair of both CEESP and the World Commission on Protected Areas
(WCPA). From 2000 to 2008 I was, in fact, responsible for one of a main programme elements of
CEESP— the Collaborative Management Working Group (CMWG), which evolved in 2005 into a
Theme on Governance of Natural Resources, Equity and Rights (TGER). From 2001 to 2008, I also
Dr. Grazia Borrini-Feyerabend/ CV March 2011 page 5
co-chaired (with Ashish Kothari, of India) the Theme on Indigenous Peoples, Local Communities,
Equity and Protected Areas (TILCEPA) – a joint endeavour of WCPA and CEESP. While I have now
left these positions, I have great satisfaction on having identified and supported the appointment of
excellent new coordinators.
As part of the volunteer engagements just mentioned, I contributed to initiating and supporting policy
initiatives—in particular on governance of natural resources and community conserved areas— whose
results came to fruition through several recent Conferences of the Parties (COP) of the CBD in Kuala
Lumpur (2004), Bonn (2008) and Nagoya (2010). The general new orientation and an entirely new
element included in CBD‘s PoWPA -- element 2 on ―Governance, participation, equity, and benefit
sharing‖ – signal a new commitment on the part of 193 countries to respect human rights in
conservation and improve protected area governance practices through shared governance, the
recognition of ICCAs and enhanced equity and accountability. This was confirmed by IUCN
Resolutions approved at the Third and Fourth World Conservation Congresses in Bangkok (November
2004) and Barcelona (October 2008).
The above mentioned achievements for social concerns in conservation resulted from a strategic
approach that CMWG and TILCEPA explicitly devised in 2000-2002. The approach comprises:
networking with indigenous peoples and local communities and facilitating their presence
and testimony in international policy events;
supporting and diffusing field-based examples and analyses;
distilling lessons into topical publications and policy recommendations;
assisting to enhance capacities and discuss ideas in various national and international fora;
lobbying at policy meetings, in particular through topical side events, but also via face-to-
face dialogues and the spreading of relevant literature and examples.
These steps were pursued as mutually-reinforcing “building blocks” towards policy change. My
personal engagement involved contributions to setting up the strategy, coordinating regional reviews,
participatory action research studies and grassroots discussions (see section 4.), fundraising and
providing support to representatives of indigenous peoples and local communities to participate in
international meetings, developing publications and policy briefs (see section 10.) and taking a very
active role in a coherent series of successive policy events (e.g., WSSD, Johannesburg, South Africa,
August 2002; AHTEG, Tjarno, Sweden, June 2003; WPC and WPC-CBD Liaison Group, Durban,
South Africa, September 2003; SBSTTA, Montreal, Canada, November 2003; CBD‘s COP 7, Kuala
Lumpur, Malaysia, February 2004; WCC, Bangkok, Thailand, November, 2004; CBD Ad Hoc
Working Group on Protected Areas, Montecatini, Italy, June 2005 and Rome, Italy, Feb. 2008;
IMPAC, Geelong, Australia, October 2005; CBD COP 9, Bonn, Germany, May 2008; WCC
Barcelona, Spain, Oct 2008; UNPFII, New York, USA, 2009; EMRIP, Geneva, Switzerland, July 2009
and 2010; CBD pan-african PoWPA Review, Grand Bassam, Côte d‘Ivoire, 2009; CBD SBSTTA,
Nairobi, 2010; CBD COP 10, Nagoya, Japan, Oct 2010) where I offered presentations, organised side
events, distributed documents and provided technical assistance to delegates.
Possibly the most effective step towards the CBD achievement mentioned above has been the work
carried out as part of the Vth World Parks Congress (Durban, South Africa, September 2003)—an
event that takes place once every ten years and is crucial for the protected areas (PA) community. I
have been responsible for the design, technical lead and coordination of the Congress Stream on
―Governance of Protected Areas‖ with Jim Johnston of Parks Canada, and of the Congress cross-cut
Theme on Indigenous and Local Communities with Ashish Kothari, of Kalpavriksh (India). As part of
that, I took the lead for the technical development of the topics, organised more than twenty events
(from workshops to panels, from theatre performances to book launches) and contracted and supervised
consultants, assistants and interns. The stream and theme centrally contributed to the Durban Accord
and Action Plan and produced some of the main Congress recommendations including on:
Dr. Grazia Borrini-Feyerabend/ CV March 2011 page 6
Good governance of protected areas
Governance types for protected areas
Community Conserved Areas (CCAs)
Co-managed protected areas
Transboundary protected areas
Mobile indigenous peoples and conservation
With regard to the latter topic of recommendation, my concern dates from my participation in the Dana
Conference (Jordan, 2002), which produce the Dana Declaration on Mobile Peoples and Conservation.
I was one of the signatories of that pioneer declaration and I followed it up as a fundraiser and co-
organiser of the founding meeting of the World Alliance of Mobile Indigenous Peoples (WAMIP) at
the Vth World Parks Congress in 2003, and as a co-organiser of several follow up meeting of the
Alliance (e.g., Kuala Lumpur, 2004; Nagoya, 2010). I have also contracted and supervised consultants
to develop the technical background material for the official constitution of the Alliance.
Related to policy development and institutional management initiatives is my repeated invited
participation in the Technical Advisory Team (TAC) of the Equator Initiative.
In 1998 I assisted as a volunteer the Palestinian Development Authority in the development of the
Biodiversity and Strategy and Action Plan for Palestine.
From November 1993 to February 1998 I have been responsible for the Social Policy Program of the
World Conservation Union. I was hired to develop the program ―from scratch‖ and thus established
its thematic focus, priorities, strategy and work plan. I hired and managed its staff (15 people in four
years), developed programmes, projects and initiatives, set up and serviced expert networks, dealt with
partners and donor agencies and contributed to enhancing the understanding and action on social
concerns in conservation in the Union‘s various programs. As a standing member of the IUCN
Program Development Group (a committee supervising all the Union‘s initiatives), I reviewed and
provided social policy advice to hundreds of projects. Under my direction, the Social Policy program
developed a cohesive, mutually supportive team of staff and a sound financial basis. The program was
recognised to provide leadership on matters of social sustainability in conservation and participatory
approaches in natural resource management (collaborative management).
The policy-development work of the IUCN Social Policy programme under my direction focused on
policies in support of processes, agreements, institutions and social conditions for co-management of
natural resources— a topic that was then much less recognised and appreciated than today. Lessons
learned were distilled into specific resolutions, field-initiatives networks and publications for both the
IUCN and the Ramsar Convention. Of particular relevance here are the IUCN Resolution on
Collaborative Management for Conservation (1996) and the Ramsar Resolution VII.8 on Local
Communities and Indigenous People (1999).
From 1988 to 1992, on assignments by the Italian aid agency, I co-ordinated the development of a
strategic approach to community-based environmental management named primary environmental
care (PEC). I wrote extensively on the subject and acted for its promotion and endorsement in aid
policy in Italy (e.g. as a founding and active member of the Italian PEC Co-ordinating Committee) and
in international contexts (e.g. as a regular consultant of the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs for the
OECD/DAC Working Party of Development Assistance and the Environment). A survey of relevant
policies by OECD/DAC member countries was carried out in 1991 with my technical support. Primary
Environmental Care has been since endorsed as environmental policy of UNICEF and endorsed/
recommended by the World Conservation Strategy, WHO, IIED, IUCN, WWF International, OXFAM,
Action Aid, and several aid agencies.

3. organising and facilitating learning experiences
For twenty years I have been involved in developing innovative learning methodologies and training
material for natural resource managers and conservation professionals. In particular, I designed and
provided technical assistance to regional learning networks in West Africa, South-East Asia and
the Congo Basin region on the hitherto unknown discipline of ―shared governance‖ for natural
resources in general and protected areas in particular. In West Africa the experience has generated a
Regional Team that currently promotes and supports shared governance of marine protected areas
throughout the West African Coast. In Morocco, I have been in charge of developing and
accompanying a new specialisation option for managers of protected areas at the National School of
Forestry (ENFI), offered to professional students from West and North Africa. In South East Asia,
various conservation and development initiatives sprouted from the initial networks.
My training assignments as independent consultant include:
Organising and running two 10-day training of trainers on Shared Governance of Protected
Areas, Bijagos archipelago (Guinea Bissau, February 2009) and Joal-Fadjouth National Park
(Senegal, November 2009)

lecturing at Wageningen Agricultural University (The Netherlands) in the international course
Local Management of Trees and Forests for Sustainable Land Use, September 98
In my position as Head of Social Policy in IUCN, I organised and facilitated a number of
Headquarters-based and field-based events with joint planning/ learning objectives. I was also invited
as a lecturer/ facilitator by some IUCN members (for instance by the Centre for Applied Social
Sciences of the University of Harare, in 1994, for a field-based training in Mozambique).
From July 1987 to July 1992 I was in the core staff of a new Master Course held at the National
Institute of Health, in Rome (Italy), in collaboration with the World Health Organisation. The
International Course for Primary Health Care Managers at District Level in Developing Countries
(ICHM) specialises postgraduate health professionals as team-leaders of health co-operation
programmes or managerial cadres in developing countries. I have been a co-designer of the Course and
taught in it since its establishment (subjects included: environmental health, community development,
participatory assessment and planning methods; the main methodology applied in course work was
problem-based learning). On related assignments, I also designed and taught numerous short courses
for Italian NGOs (on epidemiological methods, situation analysis, development and health issues,
participatory appraisal, etc.).
At the School of Public Health of the University of California at Berkeley (USA), I developed and
taught a few original courses in the graduate-division. These include:
Health and development: a marriage of heaven and hell? (Spring 1987)
Public health and nuclear weapons (Spring 1987);
The health impact of international aid (Spring 1985);
Current developments in public health nutrition: human energetics (Spring 1985)
In the same years, I was also a guest lecturer at the University of California at Santa Cruz and Davis.
From 1977 through 1979, I held temporary jobs teaching physics and mathematics for undergraduate
students in Scientific, Classic and Artistic Lyceums in Italy, while carrying out voluntary research
work in solar physics at the University of Florence.

4. developing applied research initiatives in the social sciences and the physical sciences
Since 2002 I have been managing and providing technical assistance to projects, in particular
regarding governance of protected areas and ICCAs. These included:
distilling policy advice for the appropriate recognition and support to ICCAs (see later for the
publications that originated from this work)
running field-based interviews and analyses and a participatory workshop to devise a shared
governance system for the transboundary biosphere reserve of the Delta of Senegal
providing field-based support to a fishing community to develop its own ICCA (management plan,
governance structure, monitoring of biodiversity and livelihoods results), as well as a strategic
approach to get it recognised and supported (UNDP/GEF funding)
providing advice to the IUCN protected area programme to develop a new classification of
governance type for protected areas, now included in the latest IUCN Guidelines for Protected
Area Categories
valuing and supporting ICCAs – a series of 20 grassroots analyses and production of several
synthesis documents financed by GTZ
analyses of needs and opportunities for ICCAs in different world regions, in partnership with the
GEF Small Grant Program and others (see www.iccaforum.org )
participatory action research initiatives in nine field sites on the subject of governance of
biodiversity for the GEM CON BIO project financed by the European Union
Since 2008, I have provided technical advice to UNEP WCMC in the development of an ICCA
Registry, to the Environmental Law Centre in Bonn in the development of the forthcoming Guidelines
on Protected Areas Legislation (March 2009) and to governments, development agencies, NGOs and
indigenous peoples and local communities on issues of governance of protected areas and ICCA at
large.
My work on ICCAs started in 2002. Since then I have obtained the funding and commissioned
regional reviews and special papers on the conservation role of indigenous and local communities
throughout the world. I supervised the production of these reviews and synthesized them in a series of
documents that offered the basis of the concepts and recommendations developed and agreed upon at
the Vth World Parks Congress and at CBD COP 7, COP 8, COP 9 and COP 10. The early papers
were later refined and published as Indigenous and Local Communities and Protected Areas—towards
Equity and Enhanced Conservation, Guidelines no. 11 in the IUCN/WCPA Best Practice Series
(2004). Recent syntheses and other publications are being used for advice to develop effective and
equitable protected area systems and policies to recognise and support ICCAs.
Throughout 2006 and 2007 I initiated and provided supervision and advice for IUCN initiatives on
conservation and human rights, including symposia, workshops, publications and policy advice.
In the area of co-management / shared governance of natural resources, I have been involved in
field-based studies and initiatives in various countries (from Iran and Spain to Uganda, Ecuador and
Vietnam). For years I have been gathering, analysing and distilling experiences and information from
a variety of sources. The publication Sharing Power: Learning by Doing in Co-management of
Natural Resources (2004) offers a synthesis of this work and has been described as the most complete
and versatile document available on the subject. Sharing Power has been reprinted commercially in
2007 and has now been translated and edited into French, again under my coordination (Partager le
Pouvoir, 2010).
Earlier on (2000), a preliminary synthesis was provided by an action-oriented summary for field
practitioners entitled Co-management of Natural Resources: Organising, Negotiating and Learning-by-
Dr. Grazia Borrini-Feyerabend/ CV March 2011 page 10
Doing.. This publication has been made available in English, French and Spanish and Arabic
(unpublished document). Another IUCN publication—Collaborative Management of Protected Areas:
Tailoring the Approach to the Context (1996)— was translated into French, Spanish and Portuguese
and considered a text of reference on the subject. Other related documents I have co-authored, such as
Tchim Tchieto: Fierté de la Cogestion (2004), include both an in depth analysis of a local co-
management process and policy recommendations.
From 1994 through 1997 I coordinated an institutional partnership (involving IUCN, the Biodiversity
Support Program, the Social Policy Division of the World Bank, WWF US, the PVO/NGO NMRS
Project, CIFOR and Intercooperation) to develop action-oriented tools on social sustainability in
conservation. A two-volume resource set entitled Beyond Fences: Seeking Social Sustainability in
Conservation initially published in 1997, has been used by conservation initiatives throughout the
world and reprinted in 2000.
Another subject of applied research with IUCN has been population and natural resource dynamics.
With funding from UNFPA, I coordinated and IUCN consultation initiative involving people from
different social and ecological environments. Lessons for action were synthesised for the national and
local level. The local level, in particular, has been the main focus of my interest— in particular
regarding methods and approaches to facilitate participatory action research on population and the
environment. The publication Our People, Our Resourcesis available in English, French and Spanish.
In 1992, I directed a research project— commissioned by FAO— on options to enhance people’s
participation in the Tropical Forests Action Programme (TFAP). The menu of options and the
training strategy developed by the project were utilised in workshops for national TFAP co-ordinators
and stakeholders in various regions (e.g. East Asia, East Africa, Caribbean, West Africa). The
document I wrote for FAO in that occasion was originally printed in 1994 and reprinted again, in three
languages, in 1995.
My first research assignment in the area of development, environment and public health was in 1984, at
the University of California at Berkeley (UCB). Its product was a monographic study of human
energy requirements and relative policy implications published by the United Nations University.
The study encompassed both field-based research and literature analysis. Field data were collected in
Ecuador (among banana plantation workers, 1985) and India (among women heads of households,
1982). In the following years, in conjunction with teaching assignments at UCB, I published on the
subject of health and environmental implications of development activities (please see the
publication list).
My research work begins in 1976 in the field of solar physics. I dealt with both theory (models of
plasma dynamics in the solar corona) and analysis of experimental data (solar wind plasma) at the
Arcetri Observatory of Florence (Italy) and at Stanford University (USA) as a European Space Agency
Fellow. Since 1976, I developed and carried out original projects and collaborated with a number of
scientific institutions, including the Los Alamos National Laboratory (USA). Among my main results
is the solution of the long-standing problem of interpretation of helium abundance variations in the
solar wind (invited presentation, American Geophysical Union, 1981; see also the publications list).
5. promoting inter-disciplinary discussion and research
As Head of the Social Policy Programme in the IUCN Hq., I organised the establishment of the
Collaborative Management Working Group (CMWG), an expert network that has evolved into the
Theme on Governance of Natural Resources, Equity and Rights (TGER), gathering more than 600
expert professionals from more than 40 countries. TGER has spearheaded work on co-management,
Dr. Grazia Borrini-Feyerabend/ CV March 2011 page 11
community-based conservation and conservation and human rights in the World Conservation
Union. I have chaired TGER for 8 years, while co-chairing the related Strategic Direction on
Governance, Equity and Livelihood (TILCEPA), which deals with similar issues for indigenous
peoples and local communities in relation to protected areas. TILCEPA has been the first, highly
praised inter-commission effort of the World Conservation Union— a model for interdisciplinary
initiatives to come.
In 1986/87, I was the main organiser and co-ordinator of the Faculty Seminar Nuclear Technology,
Society and Health held at the University of California at Berkeley (UCB). Throughout a semester, the
seminar gathered eighty faculty members from different disciplines (from physics to medicine, from
anthropology to engineering, from political sciences to public health) and renowned scientists
(including two Nobel price winners). The seminar was considered a model of interdisciplinary work
at the University of California, and received high praises in the academic community. I was also the
editor of the technical reports published throughout the seminar.
In 1986 I had been the main organiser and co-ordinator of another Faculty Seminar at UCB - Multi-
Level Inter-sectoral Action for Health for All by the Year 2000. The seminar acted as a springboard for
the development of an International Health Programme at the UCB School of Public Health.
Since the early 1980s, I have been called as a group leader and rapporteur in various international
meetings and conferences, often to provide and/or solicit an interdisciplinary perspective. Examples
are the Building New Coalitions Around the Sustainable Livelihoods Approach conference, promoted
by UNDP and SID in Rome (February 2001), the Pugwash Conferences on Science and World Affairs
(Bejing, 1990, Berlin, 1991 and Lillenhammer, 1997), the conference on Local Knowledge and
Agricultural Research (Zimbabwe, 1992) and the WHO Conference on Supporting Environments
(Sweden, 1991).
6. organising and co-ordinating professional conferences and meetings
I have nearly thirty years of experience in organising professional conferences, meetings, side events
and international policy-oriented gatherings.
Most recently (January 2011), I co-organised a Stream on Bio-cultural Heritage and Indigenous
Values at the Sharing Power Conference in Whakatane (New Zealand) and, just before that, a three-
day international workshop in Shirakawa-go (Japan, Oct. 2010) on Building capacities and
generating support for the sustainable future of ICCAs. In the occasion of COP 10 in Nagoya (Oct.
2010) and SBSTTA 14th in Nairobi (May 2010), I organised numerous side events on behalf of IUCN
CEESP and partners on governance of protected areas and on ICCAs in terrestrial and marine
environments. On similar subjects I had organised a workshop at UNDP Headquarters in New York
and side events at the UN Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues (New York, May 2009) and at the
Expert Mechanism on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (Geneva, Switzerland, Aug. 2009). A seminar
on engaging local communities in marine and coastal conservation was also held at the premises of
Tiniguena as a side event of the Regional Forum on Marine and Coastal Conservation in West Africa
(Bissau, February 2009).
In 2008, I was a main organiser of several thematic workshops at the fourth World Conservation
Congress in Barcelona, Spain (October, 2008). These included the following:
―The landscape dynamic mosaic—embracing diversity, equity and change‖;
―The evolving governance of National Parks—exploring institutions, performance, social
engagement and equity‖; and
―Recognizing and supporting Indigenous and Community Conserved Areas (ICCAs)‖.
Dr. Grazia Borrini-Feyerabend/ CV March 2011 page 12
In prior months I had organised several side events on governance of protected areas and ICCAs at
meetings of the Convention on Biological Diversity, including its COP 9 (Bonn, Germany, May 2008)
and CBD Working Group on Protected Areas (Rome, Italy, February 2008). In January 2008, I was
the main organiser of the national workshop Towards an effective and equitable system of protected
areas in Nepal (Kathmandu, Nepal).
In 2007, I was the main organiser of the international workshop Strengthening Community
Conserved Areas (Kure Mountains, Turkey, Oct. 2007) and the international workshop Conservation
and Human Rights (Bavianskloof Mega-reserve, South Africa, July 2007). I also co-organised two
symposia for the Congress of the Society of Conservation Biology (Port Elisabeth, South Africa,
July 2007) on the topics of conservation and human rights, and governance of protected areas.
In 2005, I was responsible for one of the five streams of events (stream 5 on “Shared Stewardship”)
at the First World Congress on Marine Protected Areas (IMPAC 1, Geelong, Australia, October
2005). As part of that, I selected papers, organised the stream‘s events and synthesised and delivered
the overall stream recommendations. The Congress involved over 700 delegates from more than 50
countries. I was also the main organiser of a side event on governance, participation, equity and
benefit sharing for protected areas at the first meetings of the CBD Working Group on Protected
Areas (Montecatini, Italy June 2005).
As mentioned in point 3 above, in 2003 I co-organised a stream of events at the Vth World Parks
Congress on the topic of Governance of Protected Areas, and co-organised the cross-cut theme on
Communities, Equity and Protected Areas at the same Congress. The events took place in Durban
(South Africa) in September 2003 and involved tens of sub-topics and hundreds of international
participants. Related to these events, I have also been a co-organiser of the international events on
Mobile Peoples and Conservation (Durban, 2003 and Kuala Lumpur 2004) that led to the creation
and consolidation of the World Alliance of Mobile Indigenous Peoples (WAMIP).
In parallel to all of the above, since 2000 I have been a main organiser of dozens of meetings among
IUCN CEESP members and meetings of the CEESP Executive Committee and Steering
Committee in Amman (Jordan), Pune (India), Bangkok (Thailand), Rolle and Gland (Switzerland),
The Hague (The Netherlands) and Barcelona (Spain).
The following list includes earlier international and national meetings and events for which I have
been a ―prime mover‖ in terms of ideas, gathering funds, and/or organising and facilitation:

7. writing and editing
My production comprises books, edited magazines, articles for professional journals, and technical
reports (please see the publication list at the end of this CV). It also includes contributions to policies
and official documents; mission reports and technical reports; didactic material such as case-studies,
problems, tests and ficticia; and about ten collections of reviewed and annotated readings for post-
graduate education. These unpublished documents are not listed below.
In the last years I specialised in writing on the basis of the inputs and experience of many people. This
sort of ‗choral‘ writing requires the capacity to elicit the interest of contributors, support them to
express themselves, and synthesise coherent results from a variety sources. As part of that, I have
acted as key writer of the IUCN CEESP Briefing Note series from 2000 to 2010 and as Senior Editor
of the CEESP journal— Policy Matters, from 2000 to 2008. As guest editor, I prepared an issue of
Parks, journal of WCPA, on conservation partnerships in Africa and an issue of the IUCN magazine
World Conservation on conservation by people. Earlier, I had been for several years editor of the
newsletter of the Collaborative Management Working Group (CM News).
I am regularly called in as a referee for PhD Theses and publications in the area of natural resource
management and conservation (e.g. for Environmental Conservation, Society & Natural Resources,
Conservation and Society, the International Journal of Environment and Sustainable Development,
etc.) as I was in the past for professional journals in public health and, even earlier, in solar physics.
