This special issue is a collection of lessons and innovative tools that have been developed by the facilitators of community-based natural resource management programmes in southern Africa. It is also an important resource for facilitators in other regions. These tools can be broadly divided into two categories: facilitator's tools and management tools. Facilitator's tools range from Theatre for Africa's role in policy development, to the CAMPFIRE game for improving training in financial management. The management tools have been developed to allow communities to manage wildlife in modern market economies. These tools range from the event book system developed in Namibia, to the quota setting methodologies developed in Zimbabwe.
