Malaysia Local Government

Participation in government is an option increasingly taken up by indigenous peoples in Southeast Asia in order to regain more control over their lives and destiny. This volume presents the results of a research project on indigenous peoples' involvement in local government in Malaysia and the Philippines. It compiles existing legislation that affects indigenous participation in the two countries, looks at indigenous experiences with local government, and identifies the problems and constraints for indigenous participation. The Centre of Orang Asli Concerns did the study on Local Government in Peninsular Malaysia. Partners of Community Organizations carried out the study in Sabah. Anthrowatch studied local governance in Mindanao, and the Cordillera Peoples' Alliance did the research in Northern Luzon. All four are longstanding partners of IWGIA.

What are the challenges involved in protecting biodiversity in tropical terrestrial and coastal ecosystems? What practical lessons can be learned from conservation projects? And what are the procedures and attitudes of governments, NGOs, donor agencies, development banks, and consulting firms? These key questions are all answered, drawing on the author's extensive experience of conservation projects in Malaysia, Nigeria, China, Indonesia, the Philippines, Costa Rica, and elsewhere. Project descriptions are used to illustrate the growth of two important themes in conservation: increasing the awareness of the economic value of biodiversity among decision makers; and enabling and encouraging local people to participate in designing and implementing projects.
