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:
“Unlike Boswell, whose Journals record a long and unrewarded search for a self, Johnson possessed a formidable one. His life in London—he arrived twenty-five years earlier than Boswell—turned out to be a long defense of the values of Augustan humanism against the pressures of other possibilities. In contrast to Boswell, Johnson possesses an identity not because he has gone in search of one, but because of his allegiance to a set of assumptions that he regards as objectively true.”
—Jeffrey Hart (b. 1930)
