The Tamshiyacu Tahuayo Communal Reserve (TTCR) in northeast Amazonian Peru was created through a coalition of local communities and researchers in response to large-scale hunting, fishing and logging by outside commercial interests. It is unusual in two respects: first, the extent to which communities have retained control over management in a government-created protected area; and secondly, the way in which communities' decisions about their own natural resource use have been informed by collaborative biological research.
