Millner, N.Peñagaricano, I.Fernández, M.Snook, L.K.[The politics of participation: negotiating relationships through community forestry in the Maya Biosphere Reserve, Guatemala]The politics of participation: negotiating relationships through community forestry in the Maya Biosphere Reserve, Guatemala

Whilst community forestry programmes have combined sustainable forestry with community empowerment and poverty alleviation since the late 1970s, the role of intermediary organisations in shaping the technical and political capacities of forest user groups has rarely been systematically studied. T...


Millner, N.Penagaricano, I.Fernández, M.Snook, L.K.[Second-tier community forestry organisations and equitable resource management in the Maya Biosphere Reserve, Guatemala]Second-tier community forestry organisations and equitable resource management in the Maya Biosphere Reserve, Guatemala

Community forestry (CF) was initiated in the 1970s as a way to empower communities, alleviate poverty and manage forests. Intermediary organisations are considered to have played a critical role in the sustainability and equitability of community forest management. This study analyses...

In 2002, mahogany (Swietenia macrophylla) was listed on Appendix II of CITES (the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species). This requires that all producing countries define and implement sustainable production systems for mahogany, the most commercially important neotropical timb...

Autor: Snook, L.K.

The most important timber species in Neotropics, mahogany (Swietenia macrophylla) is still harvested from natural forests. The difficulty of ensuring its regeneration in logged-over forests was a primary reason for listing this species in CITES appendix II in 2003, requiring producer countries to...


Snook, L.K.[Sustaining mahogany: research and silviculture in Mexico's community forests]Sustaining mahogany: research and silviculture in Mexico's community forests
Autor: Snook, L.K.

Big-leaf mahogany was studied on nine mixed-species stands that became established naturally between 2 and 75 years ago after catastrophic disturbances (hurricane blowdown, fire, or bulldozer clearing). More than 50% of adult big-leaf mahogany trees had survived a severe hurricane, leaving 2.8 se...

In 2002, mahogany (Swietenia macrophylla) was listed on Appendix II of CITES (the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species). This requires that all producing countries define and implement sustainable production systems for mahogany, the most commercially important neotropical timb...

Barriers to successful adoption of novel silvicultural practices are rarely just technical in nature. Simply put, why do some forest users practice better silviculture than others? Diverse perspectives in the social sciences have been brought to bear on this question, but most efforts suffer from...


Walter, B.B.Sabogal, C.Snook, L.K.Almeida, E. de[Constraints and opportunities for better silvicultural practice in tropical forestry: an interdisciplinary approach]Constraints and opportunities for better silvicultural practice in tropical forestry: an interdisciplinary approach

One of the main technical knowledge gaps for sustainable timber production in tropical forests is the lack of reliable information on tree growth, which is indispensable for defining cutting cycles and estimating harvest volumes. We applied dendroecological methods to measure and model the diamet...
