It occurred to me that visitors and scholars might benefit from an ongoing list of panarchy examples, so here goes.

Panarchy is in action when groups of people perform collective action in parallel to or in spite of hierarchical organizations. Panarchy is in action when:

• global social networks and movements act on behalf of some cause, from land mines to environmentalism to anti-war protests.
• people share URLs and tags on social bookmarking sites like http://del.icio.us.
• contributors maintain http://wikipedia.com instead of relying on an elite-managed encyclopedia.

There are many more. If you think of some, let me know and I will add them.
