Forest tenure reforms are occurring in many developing countries around the world. These reforms typically include devolution of forest lands to local people and communities, which has attracted a great deal of attention and interest. While the nature and level of devolution vary by country, all have potentially important implications for resource allocation, local ecosystem services, livelihoods and climate change.
This book helps students, researchers and professionals to understand the importance and implications of these reforms for the livelihoods of often poor villagers, local environmental quality and climate change. It is shown that local management is generally more successful than privatization for the equitable allocation of common pool resources and for the administration of conservation schemes such as REDD. The work includes a number of generic chapters and also detailed case studies from China, Ethiopia, Kenya, Nepal, Tanzania and Uganda.Using specific examples and a wide variety of disciplinary perspectives, quantitative and qualitative analytical methods, the book provides an authoritative and critical picture of local forest reforms in light of the key challenges humanity faces today.
