"This report addresses how DOC can
most effectively support communities to develop skills to carry out conservation work, particularly through sharing scientific and technical information. The study began with an international literature review. The results of this review were used to inform four case studies of successful practice of DOC working with communities. Finally, an action research approach was used to work with DOC to interpret the findings from the case studies and literature review and to identify actions to respond to the results."
