摘要 | Peter A. Minang and Michael K. McCall examine how PGIS facilitates the use of local/indigenous knowledge in community forestry planning for carbon sequestration in Cameroon. PGIS practice often evolves to address specific issues being faced by a community. This means that multiple tools might be used together, or in sequence to deal with those issues. Accessing payments for environmental services such as carbon mitigation requires extensive and expensive technical information for baselines and monitoring, which local communities often lack. Community spatial knowledge can be a vital source of information, but the local knowledge representations need to be translated into a format appropriate for accessing Kyoto Protocol and other carbon funds. The authors explore the extent to which PGIS can enhance the use of local and indigenous knowledge in the carbon certification processes. Participatory Learning and Action (PLA, formerly PLA Notes) is the world's leading series on participatory learning and action approaches and methods. PLA publishes articles on participation aimed at practitioners, researchers, academics and activists. All articles are peer-reviewed by an international editorial board.
