    The major role tropical forests play in
    biodiversity and climate change has led the world to search

    forest management (CFM) is an example of the broader concept
    of community-based natural resources management (CBNRM). As
    part of the decentralization policy in many countries,

    Madagascar has an impressive array of
    biodiversity, natural beauty and cultural resources to
    support tourism. Surprisingly, of the 200,000 visitors the
    island per year, only about 60,000 come expressly for
    tourism, the rest traveling for other reasons but which
