Agroforestry and Forestry in Sulawesi series: Local perceptions of forest ecosystem services and collaborative formulation of reward mechanisms in South and Southeast Sulawesi
Social capital, conflict, and adaptive collaborative governance : Exploring the dialectic
Previously lineal and centralized natural resource management and development paradigms have shifted toward the recognition of complexity and dynamism of social-ecological systems, and toward more adaptive, decentralized, and collaborative models. However, certain messy and surprising dynamics remain under-recognized, including the inherent interplay between conflict, social capital, and governance. In this study we consider the dynamic intersections of these three often (seemingly) disparate phenomena.
Scaling up regreening: Six steps to success. A practical approach to forest and landscape restoration
In a world grappling with the challenges of food insecurity, climate change, landscape degradation, and rural poverty, regreening offers a path forward, especially in dryland areas. The transformation of degraded landscapes—restoring productivity and increasing resilience through the widespread adoption of agroforestry and sustainable land management practices—can deliver food, climate, and livelihood benefits.

Améliorer la gouvernance des régimes forestiers. Un guide pratique
Ce guide pratique vise à inspirer et équiper tous ceux qui veulent tenter d’améliorer la situation afin que le pouvoir soit exercé de manière à favoriser les forêts; il décrit comment des outils pratiques peuvent être utilisés pour améliorer la gouvernance des régimes forestiers. Si vous êtes un responsable des politiques du gouvernement, ou si vous appartenez à un autre secteur public, au secteur privé ou à la société civile et êtes intéressé à la gouvernance des forêts et aux réformes foncières, ce guide s’adresse en premier lieu à vous.
Committees and Forest Area under JFM
Environmental Information System (ENVIS), established by Government of India, in December, 1982 provides environmental information to different stakeholders etc. This webapge provides information on area, number of committee, membership, benefits related to Joint Forest Management in India state-wise. It also provides state-wise forest cover (1987-2015).
The WISDOM Analysis Tool: Best Practices
This report gives an overview of the Woodfuel Integrated Supply/Demand Overview Mapping (WISDOM) analysis carrried out under the Sustainable Forest Management and Bio-Energy Markets to Promote Environmental Sustainability and to Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions in Cambodia (SFM) project in order to understand the viability of fuelwoodbased businesses in its target community forest (CF) sites and to assess their possible integration into an overall energy plan at the commune level.
Appropriate Small-scale Forest Harvesting Technologies for Southeast Asia: Hand Tools
Hand tools are the most commonly used for subsistence or household use when harvesting bamboo or fuelwood. Axes, two-man handsaws and other hand tools are presented and discussed in this factsheet.
Appropriate Small-scale Forest Harvesting Technologies for Southeast Asia: Manual Downhill Drifting
Steep-slope harvesting probably poses the biggest challenges in forest harvesting throughout the world. Traditionally, on slopes above 30 percent, gravitational transport is applied in manual harvesting operations by simply sliding logs downhill.
