Abstract

Abstract Commentary is provided on an overview of consultation guided by the ecological paradigm and four case studies of ecologically-based consultation. The case studies are used as examples in the discussion of environmental reconnaissance and the search for resources, the development of processes to mobilize and enhance resources, and the development of ways of assessing the side-effects and ripples of consultation. The evolutionary and ongoing nature of the processes of preventive interventions is also discussed.
