It comprises 312 annotated references on thematic areas: fauna, flora, vegetation, ecology, conservation, silviculture, forest inventory, forest management, forest policy and economy, non-timber forest products, etc.; an...
Who counts most? Assessing human well being in sustainable forest management presents a tool, 'the Who Counts Matrix', for differentiating 'forest actors', or people whose well-being and forest management are intimately intertwined, from other stakeholders. The authors argue for focusing formal a...

Quem é mais importante? A avaliação do bem-estar humano no manejo florestal sustentável
The likely impact of a number of economic instruments on changing current practices in the management and logging of humid tropical forests particularly in Congo Basin where there are large areas forested with high quality timber, is examined. Some potential instruments are discussed, such as a p...

Using tropical forest ecosystem goods and services for planning climate change adaptation with implications for food security and poverty reduction
The relationship between tropical forests and global climate change has so far focused on mitigation, while much less emphasis has been placed on how management activities may help forest ecosystems adapt to this change. This paper discusses how tropical forestry practices can contribute to maint...
Monitoring and research activities may hinder rather than improce conservation in tropical countries. This paper identifies some critical threats to biodiversity and the limited resources for defending against them. It suggests various contributory factors, and a few common sense options for impr...
