Conservation Refugees

indigenous tribal peoples, like endangered species, are being driven toextinction. Their languages are swiftly dying and we're losing a huge

resource in their invaluable knowledge derived from millennia in their

respective homelands. Environmentalists, determined to preserve

biological systems and entities, should now be equally driven to

preserve aboriginal cultures.

Major-General Jeffery hopesthat within a decade a third

of Australia's farmers - and

eventually all - will have

stopped using artificialfertilisers, dramatically

boosted vegetation species,

substantially reduced or

ceased irrigation andadopted a more holistic,

natural approach to farm

Transition Culture

Transition is determinedly inclusive

and non-blaming, arguing that a

successful transition through peak oil

and climate change will by necessity be

about a bringing together of individuals

and organisations, rather than a

continued fracturing and antagonising.

Nobel for Ostrom on Commons

by showing how common resourcesforests, fisheries, oil fieldsor grazing lands, can be

managed successfully by the people who use them,

rather than by governments or private companies.

Ostroms work in this regard,

challenged conventional wisdom, showing that

common resources can be successfully managed

without government regulation or privatization

Cooperatives

Set up the many simple cooperativesenabling all the unemployed, homeless,

bored, retired, people to get into the

community gardens etc. that would enablethem to start producing many of the basic

things they need. Can we set up co-ops to run

a bakery, bike repair shop, home help service,

insulating operation, clothes making and

repairing operation. Dr Ted Trainer

Ostrom identifies eight design principles of stable local common

pool resource management [4]

1. Clearly defined boundaries

2. Local rules for giving and taking of commons

3. Collective decision-making process

4. Effective monitoring accountable to users

5. Scale of sanctions for violating resource community rules

6. Conflict resolution cheap and easy to access

7. Self-determination of community recognized by higher-levelauthorities;

8. organization in the form of multiple layers of nestedenterprises, with small local commons at the base level.
