Through a process of co-production, farmers worked together to identify significant geographic sites and local stories and built their own capacity to be tour guides for visitors to the area. Instead of simply answering survey questions for scientists to better understand the local community and ecosystem, they became the primary agents to facilitate change and support the Management Plan. Today, farmers lead community workshops with students and visitors on conservation and livelihood development through the lens of organic agriculture using the ABCD (assest-based community development) approach.
