In the current era of participation, the rule of common sense and the involvement of all stakeholders in key decisions have been accepted. Targeting and directing partnerships to conserve and rehabilitate natural resources will lead to sustainable development. The concepts of participation and the affecting factors need to be explained and studied. The aim is to investigate the factors affecting the participation of local communities in natural resource management from the perspective of experts in the region, Kerman. The research is descriptive-analytical, and the survey technique is used. Necessary information has been collected by completing 40 questionnaires from all natural resources experts of the province and the project (RFLDL) in the form of a census. The research tools of the questionnaire and its validity have been approved by experts. Using Cronbach's alpha coefficient, the reliability coefficient for the questionnaire items was determined to be 0.84. The reliability of the research items was measured by Cronbach's alpha statistic, the results of which (coefficient 0.84) indicate the high reliability of the items for measuring variables. Multiple regression tests have been used to determine the share of factors (eocnomic, extension, educational and managerial) on the participation of users from the perspective of experts. The results showed that social factors had a much greater share in predicting the dependent variable than other variables. Based on the results, giving importance to social factors can play an important role in attracting the participation of rangers in rangeland management.

To study the role of shrubs refuge for annual plant inside and outside exclosure, in Goghar, Bafte, quadrates of 20cm×20 cm were plotted beneath 20 species of Artemisia aucheri, Astragalus gosipinus and 20 open patches, then the name and number of annual species were recorded in quadrates. Species responses to grazing and shrubs were analyzed by two-way ANOVA and Post-Hoccomparisons. Results showed that shrubs acted as biotic refuges by protecting 7 species of 22 annual species against direct grazing. Although these seven species are palatable plants but Artemisia aucheri and Astragalus gosipinus that are less palatable in growing season of annual plants can have refuge role for palatable annual plants in grazed plant communities. Some annual species that were rather abundant under the shrubs were rarely found in the open patches in both the grazed and ungrazed quadrates. These species were most probably facilitated by the shrubs. Consequently, shrubs have important implications for diversity, conservation, and management in grazed ecosystems because of their facilities and roles as refuge.
