The authors make clear the steps involved in conducting PAR correctly. This is valuable because, within the development and conservation worlds, there is a great deal of very superficial effort that is labelled “participatory” but does not meet the standards we feel are needed – standards that are made clear in this story. This is also valuable in laying the groundwork for the analyses to follow, providing a common understanding of what is being discussed (ACM/PAR), an understanding that might not otherwise exist (see Chapter 3 or Colfer et al. 2011).
