Abstract

A group of Colombian indigenous communities and Amacayacu National Park are cooperating to make regulations for sustainable use of their shared natural resources, especially the fish populations. To aid this effort, we are modeling the interactions among these communities and their ecosystem with the objective of predicting the stability of regulations, identifying potential failure modes, and guiding investment of scarce resources. The goal is to improve the probability of actually achieving fair, sustainable and community-managed subsistence fishing in the region.
