The Equitable Forest : Diversity and Community in Sustainable Resource Management
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Research and policy toward sustainable forest management have often paid incomplete attention to the well being of local populations and their activities as forest managers. Where there has been recognition of local communities, the roles of marginalized groups and women are usually not well understood. This is despite evidence that equity and social relationships, including gender roles, are important factors in the ways that communities manage forest resources overall and adapt to change.
