Strategies and financial mechanisms for sustainable use and conservation of forests: experiences from Latin America and Asia
In the last two decades, interest in financing sustainable forest management has been gathering momentum. However, most of the approaches have yet to be mainstreamed, and remain either as ideas or experimental in the Asia-Pacific region. On the other hand, some countries, particularly those in Latin America, have seen more innovative ideas already being implemented. What are the circumstances and why is the momentum greater in that part of the world? It is worth exploring. It is equally important to evaluate the work in Asia - who is doing what - to make the information more readily available and to share experiences which would help strengthen the initiatives. This book documents and compares developments in the two regions, and assesses some of the ongoing developments in financing sustainable forest management. Their experiences and analyses should be of interest to practitioners everywhere concerned with sustainable forest management.
