CBRM can be undertaken by a well organised community on their own with a little bit of help and information from an outside organisation. CBRM is a long-term process that should be able to be continued for generations and to become part of daily village life. Most communities already actively undertake stewardship or caring for resources. CBRM just builds on that existing role and responsibility. This leaflet describes some of the first steps that interested communities can take and where they can find further information about how to get started with CBRM.
