Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: Caohai Nature Reserve, in Guizhou, China has been the scene of both dramatic landscape transformations and equally radical changes in resource management philosophies. When Caohai Nature Reserve was established in 1985 practices that sustained local livelihoods, such as fishing and hunting, were criminalized, leading to violent conflicts between reserve managers and local people. In the early 1990s, the introduction of NGO-sponsored community development programs changed the way the reserve was perceived by local farmers as the reserve became the most important provider of funding for community infrastructure development in the area. In spite of the China’s much touted Western Development Project, most reserve residents do not believe that they benefit from the central government’s infrastructure improvement programs. They believe that these large-scale road and railway extension projects have done little to change their poor rural livelihoods. However, they believe that the nature reserve’s smaller-scale community development programs have been a much more effective source of locally-needed infrastructure development. Many Caohai farmers now see the reserve, instead of other government agencies, as their main partner for the promotion of economic development.
