Yon mo prekosyon isit la, menm si: estrateji pou devlope mwayen pou viv altènatif yo dwe byen panse a ak ki fèt nan fèmen patenarya ak kominote pou evite orè inatandi nan efò oswa pratik ki ka mennen nan plis mal. Pou egzanp, diminye efò lapèch, gouvènman an nan zile a zile Pasifik la Kiribati sibvansyone endistri a kokoye lwil oliv fè lasisiy plis pechè nan dlo a. Plan an te travay, ak Lè sa a, konbine. Ansyen pechè yo te fè plis lajan pou yo te chwazi kokoye, e poutèt sa, yo pat oblije travay anpil. Nan newfound lwazi-tan yo, yo te lapèch. Lapèch aktyèlman ogmante 33% pandan y ap popilasyon pwason Reef degrengole. Apwoche inovasyon ak apwòch konsepsyon moun ki santre oswa yon lantiy antwopolojik, ede idantifye motivasyon moun yo ak valè yo depi nan kòmansman an. Lè sa a, yo ka swe pou konstwi apwopriye, inisyativ ki dire lontan ak rezilta nan aliyman ak mwayen pou viv amelyore ak sante ekosistèm.

A word of caution here, though: the strategy for developing alternative livelihoods must be thoroughly thought through and designed in close partnership with communities so as to avoid unexpected shifts in effort or practice that can lead to more harm. For example, to reduce fishing effort, the government of the Pacific Island nation of Kiribati subsidized the coconut-oil industry to lure more fishers off the water. The plan worked, and then backfired. Former fishers made more money picking coconuts, and because of this, they didn’t have to work as much. In their newfound leisure-time, they went fishing. Fishing actually increased 33% while reef fish populations plummeted. Approaching innovation with human-centered design approach or an anthropological lens, helps to identify individuals’ motivations and values from the start. These can then be leveraged to construct appropriate, long-lasting initiatives with outcomes in alignment with improved livelihoods and ecosystem health.
