Lessons from Other Cooperative Efforts The increased use of collaborative management arrangements over the past decade, particularly in the realm of ecosystem management, provides insight into the factors that contribute to the program success and/or failure.

Personal Relationships “Fundamentally, successful collaborative efforts are built on human relationships” (Xxxxxx and Xxxxxxxxxx 2000). Perhaps nothing is more important to cooperative management programs than the development of close working relationships and friendships among participants.
