Abstract

This is the protocol for a rigorous literature review which is intended to answer the question: Is the use of renewable natural resources in the developing world more or less sustainable, pro-poor and profitable under controlled access compared to open access? It will also consider the following sub-questions:

(a) Under what conditions is controlled access more or less sustainable, pro-poor and profitable than open access?
(b) Is the use of renewable natural resources in the developing world more or less sustainable, pro-poor and profitable under private ownership compared to common property?

The protocol provides background information and details of the methods to be used.
