For whom and for what? principles, criteria, and indicators for sustainable forest resources management in Thailand
This study was carried out in Ghana with two communities managing two forest reserves. Two sets of participatory criteria and indicators (C&I) for sustainable forest management have been defined: the communities themselves decided what their own C&I would be. This gives an example of what partici...
