The experience of three teams is recountedas they worked collaboratively with local Malay and Iban communities to manage the flooded and lowlandtropical forest area. Relations between conservation workers and communities are discussed, and socialcapital among conservation workers is highlighted as another centrally important feature in conservationsuccess. Subsequent involvement of the network of concerned researchers is also described. Central pointsof the article are 1) that conservation practices are socially embedded, and 2) that a "best practices" approachis inadequate when personal characteristics, experiences, and networks have such long lasting impacts onconservation itself
