ICDP Assumptions
ICDPs make many assumptions during their project implementations, each of which may prove true or not:
- Diversified local livelihood options will reduce human pressures on biodiversity, leading to improved conservation.
- Local people and their livelihood practices comprise the most important threat to the biodiversity resources of the area in question.
- ICDPs offer sustainable alternatives to traditional approaches of protected areas management.

Famous quotes containing the word assumptions:
“All of the assumptions once made about a parent’s role have been undercut by the specialists. The psychiatric specialists, the psychological specialists, the educational specialists, all have mystified child development. They have fostered the idea that understanding children and promoting their intellectual well-being is too complex for mothers and requires the intervention of experts.”
—Elaine Heffner (20th century)
