Non-timber forest product extraction in Amazonia: lessons from development organizations
Although extractive reserves today account for a very small percentage of both land area and extractivist populations, they offer the opportunity to test the viability of extractive reserves. If successful, the "lessons" of extractive reserves might be replicated in other areas, including Indigenous areas, buffer areas for national parks, and small farmer communities. Generating income for local development while protecting the forest is a complex issue requiring the multidisciplinary efforts of development and environmental organizations alike. Donors should work to develop comprehensive strategies with local community and advocacy groups while bearing in mind lessons from community development experience elesewhere in Latin America.
