Practical guide – How to involve external stakeholders in a protected area project
4 easy steps to lead your own consultation
Intended for First Nations communities and organizations, this guide offers a simplified approach to planning and carrying out consultation with external stakeholders concerned by the territory covered by your protected area project.
Combining theory and practice, this guide also offers analysis tools, including a practical online interactive map. This map will be an invaluable tool for identifying the main potential stakeholders concerned by the boundaries of your protected area project.
Note: This guide is designed for consultation with external stakeholders. It does not address community mobilization among members of the First Nations communities carrying out the protected area project. These communities would benefit from a separate community mobilization process, although this guide takes up some of the steps involved.
