505 8 |a 1.3.2.4 Human health1.4 How to break the vicious cycle?; 1.4.1 Promoting opportunity and enhancing capacity; 1.4.2 Strengthen ownership and facilitate empowerment; 1.4.3 Enhancing security; 1.5 Lessons learned in the case studies; 1.5.1: Promoting opportunity and enhancing capacity; Lesson 1: Variation in capacity of the poor implies that there is no blueprint route to success; Lesson 2: Higher educational and awareness attainments correlate with sustainable management; Lesson 3: Time availability influences access to environmental assets. 
505 8 |a Lesson 4: Access to markets is a major contributing factor to poverty alleviation and sustainable ecosystem managementLesson 5: A sustainable management of ecosystems requires good availability of census data on poverty and geographic information system (GIS) data on land-use changes; Lesson 6: Because the role of ecosystem services is often ignored by the donor community, traditional development aid can do more harm than good; 1.5.2 Strengthen ownership and facilitate empowerment; Lesson 1: It is a misconception that only the poor rely on common-pool resources. 
505 8 |a Lesson 2: Ownership encourages investment in natural resource conservation but is not necessarily a sufficient condition for enhanced household welfareLesson 3: Regulating access to common-pool resources prevents food shortages and improves the nutritional intake of households; Lesson 4: The mediating role of ownership in the poverty-environment nexus can be qualitatively different between the short and the long term; Lesson 5: Poorly designed formalization of ownership often deprives the poor from traditional access to ecosystem services; 1.5.3 Enhance security. 
505 8 |a Lesson 1: Within communities, poorer and richer households require secure access to different environmental assetsLesson 2: In absence of secure ownership, individuals fail to internalize environmental externalities and ecosystems become degraded; Lesson 3: The government needs to work together with local communities in order to ensure that ownership of natural resources is mutually respected; Lesson 4: In order for the government to enforce user rights, economic instruments are needed to collect sufficient revenue from, among others, ecosystem-related activities. 
500 |a Lesson 5: Security issues in human-wildlife conflicts call for special attention for the negative impacts of healthy ecosystems.
