Forest Products, Livelihoods and Conservation
Three volumes covering Africa, Asia and Latin America,
containing full descriptions of the case studies, targeted at

The chapters are organized to present a standard set of
information to support comparative analysis, but the authors
also included rich details, idiosyncrasies and analyses of
issues and opportunities in their own cases.
