Forestry deforestation
- Towards wellbeing in forest communities
-
Local governments have an important role to play in enhancing the wellbeing of forest communities, yet often lack the capacity to understand and address local needs. This sourcebook provides a valuable resource for local governments and others interested in reducing poverty through more participatory approaches with forest communities. Drawing on experiences in Bolivia and Indonesia, the authors suggest a range of approaches for developing locally relevant strategies for poverty monitoring and intervention.
