This “co-management commons” is a website maintained by Jamie Snook, Ph.D. with the purpose of freely sharing community-based co-management resources. The content is primarily intended for co-management practitioners, academics, and students of fish and wildlife co-management.

​

The Co-management Commons logo is a powerful symbol of collaboration and stewardship. Inspired by the practice of co-management in Canada, it embodies the shared responsibility we have for our lands, waters, and wildlife.

​

The circular image at the center of the logo represents the countless individuals who work together to make co-management a success. Through hard work, dialogue, and a commitment to learning, we are able to create a shared space for different levels of government and local communities to come together in the spirit of collaboration.

​

The rectangle behind the "commons" symbolizes the many places where co-management happens - from boardrooms and offices to community halls and forums. It's in these spaces that we share knowledge, engage in research, and work towards a common goal.

​

The colors of the logo are inspired by the natural beauty of the North. The white and yellow-white of the North Star - a vital navigational tool - reminds us of the importance of direction and purpose. The reddish, orange, and yellow hues of the Sundog reflect the complexity of co-management practice, as different perspectives and knowledge systems come together to create a shared vision.

​

Overall, the Co-management Commons logo is a celebration of collaboration, learning, and stewardship. With its clean lines and Northern-inspired colors, it embodies the spirit of co-management and reminds us of the important work we do to protect and preserve our shared resources.
