ABSTRACT

The community agreements on conservation in the villages surrounding the LLNP are promoted by NGOs that differ in their objectives and value orientations. The objective of this article was to explore the strategies applied by different NGOs and the contents of the agreements. Descriptive analysis had been used to analyse both the negotiation process and the contents of the agreement. Interviews with stakeholders were conducted in these 6 villages as basis for the selection of research locations. In view of the comparatively small number of villages to choose from the large variation among them, a purposive sampling method was applied. The criteria included the coverage of the three districts where agreements had been signed and coverage of the three NGOs promoting agreements that were already signed. The result shows that these three NGOs played a pioneering role in establishing the agreements: (1) Yayasan Tanah Merdeka (Free Earth foundation – YTM), an NGO which concentrates on advocacy for indigenous rights, (2) The Nature Conservancy (TNC), an international NGO which deals with conservation, and (3) CARE, an international NGO which concerns on rural development.
