Mapping Community-Based Protected Areas: a model for sustainable development and cultural and environmental protection
UNICEF Conference Room

This event examines how taking a community-based approach to setting up
protected areas can promote sustainable development. Such an approach
integrates indigenous knowledge with solid science. By respecting
traditional livelihoods, tenure, culture, and access to resources it
also conserves ecosystems and biodiversity.

Steps for Positive Observation
STEP 1: Recognize
What we are conditioned to experience... Where does the belief come from? Your belief or someone else's belief?
STEP 2: Realize
A positive outlook is a choice... You are always at choice. Example: Are you a smoker or someone who chooses to smoke?
STEP 3: Quantify
The positive and productive potential found within... You are and always have been total potential... Grab it... Grow it!
