Tropical forests hold several goods and services used by forest-dependent people as safety nets to traverse difficult periods of resource supply. These same goods and services are constantly surrounded by emerging markets linking remote communities with major urban centers nationally and internat...

Forest policies and forest resource flow in Burkina Faso, Ghana and Mali: conflicting or consistent for adaptation to climate change?
Many studies have suggested various kinds of forest policies, management planning and practices to help forests adapt to climate change. These recommendations are often generic, based mostly on case studies from temperate countries and rarely from Africa. We argue that policy and management recom...

Politiques forestieres et utilisation des ressources au Burkina Faso, au Ghana et au Mali: sont-elles compatibles avec l'adaptation au changement climatique
Under natural resource ecosystems shared across communities and nations, the distribution among stakeholders of risks and vulnerability to climate change is likely to be uneven on account of the nature of their stakes in the ecosystems, the degree of their dependence and the extent of degradation...
