Integrated Conservation and Development Project - ICDP Assumptions

ICDP Assumptions

ICDPs make many assumptions during their project implementations, each of which may prove true or not:

  1. Diversified local livelihood options will reduce human pressures on biodiversity, leading to improved conservation.
  2. Local people and their livelihood practices comprise the most important threat to the biodiversity resources of the area in question.
  3. ICDPs offer sustainable alternatives to traditional approaches of protected areas management.

Famous quotes containing the word assumptions:

    “Why did he think adding meant increase?
    To me it was dilution. Where do these
    Innate assumptions come from?”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
