Abstract

Community-based forest management under REDD+ has been suggested as a promising mechanism to conserve forests and at the same time enhance living conditions of their inhabitants. In the buffer zone of the Yasuní National Park in Ecuador, we analyzed the spatial and institutional configuration of Common Property Management Regimes (CPMRs) of two indigenous groups (Shuar, Kichwa) and a group of Colonist cooperatives in their historical development. We used the Ostrom (1990) principles to assess land configuration and institutional arrangements for decision-making in the use of shared resources and analyzed the implications for REDD+ implementation.
