Summary:This paper discusses the linkages between the agendas of poverty alleviation and of environmental protection through initiatives adopting participatory community-based approaches. These actions intend to strengthen and increase the effectiveness of policies focusing local and traditional populations that are in a situation of vulnerability.

And finally, a participatory instrument, raised in the Convention on Biological Diversity and based on customary law, is brought to the reader.
