Common Pool Resources (CPRs) are natural or man-made resources that are shared by a group of people. These resources, such as fisheries, forests, and water sources, are characterized by being difficult to exclude individuals from using, while their consumption by one person reduces availability for others. This can lead to overuse and depletion if not managed properly. Effective management of CPRs often requires cooperation among users to ensure sustainability. Strategies may include establishing rules, monitoring usage, and creating incentives for conservation. Successful examples of CPR management can be seen in various communities around the world, where local governance plays a key role in protecting these valuable resources.
