Importance of the Commons
• Whole landscapes or mosaics• Livelihoods of the poor, women,
pastoralists, fishers, forest-dependent communities– Fuel, fodder, medicines etc.– Often not marketed, not counted
• Environmental services: carbon, water, soils, biodiversity, pollenation

Does this mean…
Property Rights = Land Titling?
Collective Action = formal organizations?

Secure Commons Tenure Requires• External recognition
– Collective tenure less likely to have state recognition, so more susceptible to “land grabs”
• Internal regulation– Provision rules: who needs to contribute what– Extraction rules: who can use what resources,
when and how– Knowledge of the resource– Knowledge of the rules, monitoring, sanctioning– Involvement of the users in setting rules
