Crossing Boundaries, Crossing Scales: The Evolution of Environment and Resource Co-Management - Plummer - 2007 - Geography Compass - Wiley Online Library: "As an approach to mediating human–environment interactions, the co-management of natural resources influences a diverse array of geographic endeavors.
