Förlagets beskrivning
Unplanned deforestation, which is occurring at unsustainable rates in many
parts of the world, can cause significant hardships for rural communities by
destroying critical stocks of fuel, fodder, food and building materials. It can
also have profound regional and global consequences by contributing to
biodiversity loss, erosion, floods, lowered water tables and climate
change. "People and Forests" explores the complex interactions between local
communities and their forests. It focuses on the rules by which communities
govern and manage their forest resources. As part of the International Forestry
Resources and Institutions research programme, each of the contributors employs
the same systematic, comparative and interdisciplinary methods to examine why
some people use their forests sustainably while others do not. The case studies
come from fieldwork in Bolivia, Ecuador, India, Nepal and Uganda. "People and Forests" offers policymakers a sophisticated view of local
forest management from which to develop policy options and offers biophysical
and social scientists a better understanding of the linkages between residents,
local institutions and forests. Explores the complex interactions between local communities and their
forests. This text focuses on the rules by which communities govern and manage
their forest resources. It aims to offer policymakers a sophisticated view of
local forest management from which to develop policy options.
