TL;DR: A typology of monitoring categories, defined by their degree of local participation, is suggested, ranging from no local involvement with monitoring undertaken by professional researchers to an entirely local effort with monitoring undertook by local people, to help develop a protocol for monitoring in developing countries.

TL;DR: A multicountry assessment of tropical resource monitoring by local communities is presented in this paper, with a focus on the monitoring of tropical resources in the field of bio-medical applications.

TL;DR: Bawa et al. as mentioned in this paper argue that these constraints are unrelated to biodiversity monitoring and should be addressed by neglect of different sources of error in the estimation of strengthening the government institutions responsible for biodiversity diversity.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared the cost efficiency of participatory and conventional biodiversity monitoring methods in Philippine parks and found that, from a government perspective, investment in monitoring that combines scientific with participatory methods is strikingly more effective than a similar level of investment in conventional scientific methods alone in generating conservation management interventions.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined conservation management interventions resulting from 2 ½ years of monitoring by 97 rangers and 350 community volunteers over 1 million hectares of Philippine protected areas, and found that 98% of these interventions were meaningful and justified, 47% targeted the three most serious threats to biodiversity at the site, and 90% were implemented without external support.
