Is Community Forest Management Good for the Environment and the Poor? – A Review
Published By: SANDEE on eSS | Published Date: June, 21 , 2011Over the last two decades, community-based forest management has
graduated from being an experimental strategy to becoming a much more
mainstream approach. In developing countries, an estimated 22 percent
of forest estate is owned by or reserved for community and indigenous
groups. Now a SANDEE review paper looks at the literature to assess
whether community-based forest management in countries such as India
and Nepal can reduce forest loss and benefit local communities. [Policy Brief no. 54-11]. URL:[http://www.sandeeonline.org/uploads/documents/publication/944_PUB_PB_54_Rucha_Priya.pdf].
