Long abstract	Participatory modelling is a type of environmental participation that emphasizes co-production of knowledge. Purposes range from empowering local communities to accessing data that cannot be collected by other means, to impacting environmental management. Procedures vary with lay participant involvement, their backgrounds, numbers and relationships to the processes modelled.
