Sabah Parks, Malaysia, uses community use zones (CUZ) as an innovative management concept. In CUZ, indigenous communities are allowed to carry out traditional activities under the supervision of the Parks Authority. Needs of local communities and conservation objectives are balanced, by encouraging communities’ participation in park management and preserving their culture. Eco-tourism development, handicraft, beekeeping and other programs provide job opportunities.
