This is a good idea Daniel To use material from ecology. I like it. I even went online to search for some Journal articles that talk about the different cultural aspect with intervention programs. There is a Critical Review on two grand intervention by Blaikie and Muldavin (2014) one in the eastern Himalayas and the other across the border in eastern India.
As I was reading this, I see that there is selfe-organization at work all the time. At one instance the work happened in harmony and flexibility with the imposed system and in the other instance the self-organization happened despite the system ridged closed and toxic structure and undermined its interventions objectives. Blaikie P and Muldavin J (2014). Environmental justice? The story of two projects. Geoforum 54. 226–229. ( http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0016718512002850).
