随着各国政府将公共林业的管理权下放，以社区为基础的森林管理在非洲各地迅速普及。基于社区的林业有多种形式，取决于土地保有制度、森林使用规范、木材需求和社会组织等因素的分类。《自然、财富和权力》是一个分析框架，它是根据非洲自然资源管理的经验发展起来的。在本文中，我们修改的框架，人，自然，财富和权力（PNWP），并提出它作为一个分析透镜，以社区为基础的森林管理举措。我们使用PNWP框架来评估合同森林管理在马达加斯加Menabe地区的当地社区的利益，国家林业局和保护非政府组织的响应。调查结果表明，这三个群体中的每一个群体的成员都有一些不同的利益，随着时间的推移，这可能会导致冲突。具体而言，利益集中在自然和财富类别，而围绕人民和权力类别则有所分歧。此外，目前在Menabe实施的社区森林管理合同机制没有考虑到这三个群体中任何一个所持有的人民和财富的利益。需要更多的研究，但我们的调查表明PNWP框架有希望评估以社区为基础的森林管理举措。
Community-based forest management has proliferated throughout Africa as national governments have decentralized the administration of public forestry. Community-based forestry has taken multiple forms, depending on the assortment of land-tenure systems, forest-use norms, wood demand, and social organization, among others factors. Nature, Wealth, and Power is an analytical framework that has been developed from experiences in natural resource management in Africa. In this paper, we amend the framework to People, Nature, Wealth, and Power (PNWP), and propose it as an analytical lens for community-based forest management initiatives. We use the PNWP framework to assess the responsiveness of contractual forest management in the Menabe region of Madagascar to the interests of local communities, the state forest agency, and conservation nongovernmental organizations. Findings indicate that members of each of the three groups hold some differing interests, which may result in conflict over time. Specifically, interests converge around the Nature and Wealth categories and diverge around the People and Power categories. Also, the contract mechanism for community-based forest management currently being implemented in Menabe does not account for the People and Wealth interests held by any of the three groups. More research is needed, but our inquiry indicates the PNWP framework holds promise for assessing community-based forest management initiatives.
