Forests for People

Community Rights and Forest Tenure Reform

Herausgeber: Larson, Anne M.; Dahal, Ganga Ram; Barry, Deborah

Beschreibung

Who has rights to forests and forest resources? In recent years governments in the South have transferred at least 200 million hectares of forests to communities living in and around them. This book assesses the experience of what appears to be a new international trend that has substantially increased the share of the world's forests under community administration.
