Wiki Project Guidelines

There is no word limit. Your Wiki Paper should be between 2,000 and 5,000 words in length (exclusive of references, maps, photographs, links to other open source content).

II. Purpose

Demonstrate (a) your ability to extract and summarize relevant information and (b) your capacity to rationalize and present logical arguments for further evolution or progress on some aspect of your case study.

III. Content

Content: each Wiki page should contain the following elements:

III.1 A Title – include the name of the community/communities and the country.
III.2 Summary in one paragraph
III.3 Text of paper
III.4 References cited
III.5 Notes (if any)
III.6 Figures, Maps and Tables (if any).

Headers for main sections will be provided on your Wiki page. You can add new sections.

IV.1 Description of the community forestry case study – Where located; history; national or regional context (if appropriate)
IV.2 Tenure arrangements. Describe the nature of the tenure: freehold or forest management agreement/arrangements, duration, etc.
