“Over the past three years we have worked withCommunity Solutions to help us develop community based guidelines for the management and protection of Roebuck Bay. Having worked with CS elsewhere, we were confident they could assist us in this ambitious project that involved many divergent views, competing interests and a unique cultural diversity. There were two deciding factors in our choice of Community Solutions: they bring a willingness and flexibility to successfully engage Aboriginal people and processes, and their ability to enable people to develop their own solutions in the spirit of understanding and respect”.
(Tanya Vernes, Program Officer, Integrated Landscape Management, WWF Australia, Jan 2007)
