Science and Development Network
The Science and Development Network is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to providing reliable and authoritative information about science and technology for the developing world. Its website gives policymakers, researchers, news media, and civil society a platform to explore how science and technology can reduce poverty, improve health, and raise standards of living around the world.
El Instituto de la Pequeña Producción Sustentable (IPPS) – The Institute for Small Sustainable Production – was founded in 2001 in Lima, Peru, to address social, environmental, and economic problems of small-scale farmers and to increase their capacity. The institute also emphasizes interdisciplinary research and innovation in the development of rural communities.
This global network uses modern and traditional communications, supports networking and capacity building and encourages members to be proactive in advocating sustainable development of mountain areas. Membership of Mountain Forum is free and open to anyone wishing to participate. The membership database contains information which might help people build institutional and individual links to share ideas and experiences related to mountain issues and to form partnerships and collaborations for sustainable mountain development. Mountain Forum moderates 12 discussion lists with both geographic and thematic focuses. Subscription to these lists is free and open to anyone interested in sharing ideas about mountain issues, making inquiries, or posting mountain related information. The Mountain Forum Online Library is a repository of information and knowledge, a valuable and unique resource for anyone interested in mountain issues. To keep up to date with what is happening in the mountain world, the Mountain Forum maintains and manages a global calendar of events related to mountain issues, which lists upcoming activities and events around the world.
This is a collaborative effort between Texas A&M University and the Bureau of Reclamation to provide basic information on a variety of hydrologic models to practitioners in the academic, governmental and private sectors.

Innovating rural markets for a “greener,” more food secure Africa
COMACO is a model for rural development that supports natural resource management. It operates through the community-owned Conservation Farmer Wildlife Producer Trading Center. Community residents benefit by receiving high market value for goods they produce, and having access to affordable farmer inputs and improved farming skills. In return, they agree to adopt land use practices that help conserve their area's natural resources.
FRAME
The FRAME website is part of a USAID-funded program to build knowledge-sharing networks of natural resource management professionals. The website contains a library of documents and other resources related to NRM and provides a platform for electronic discussions and online meeting spaces for NRM communities of practice.
Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education Program (SARE)
The Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education Program (SARE) is a USDA-funded domestic program that works to increase knowledge about—and help farmers and ranchers use—practices that are profitable, environmentally sound and good for people and communities. Results from SARE-funded projects can be found in a searchable data base at http://www.sare.org/projects/index.htm
Center for the Study of Institutions, Population, and Environmental Change (CIPEC)
Understanding how and why some forests are fragmented, degraded, and losing species, while other forests are in good condition and even regrowing and expanding, is a puzzle to any thoughtful observer of the environment.
In a world which is experiencing unprecedented degrees of environmental change and degradation at a global scale, one sees evidence of restoration, suggesting that under certain conditions, people can self-organize and stem the steady loss of the ecological systems that sustain us.
At the Center for the Study of Institutions, Population, and Environmental Change (CIPEC) we are dedicated to understanding these processes and sharing this knowledge with the scientific community and the public.
Digital Library of the Commons
