This book attempts to redefine roles of government agencies, development assistance programmes and science in achieving a more sustainable future of rural landscapes in tropical developing countries. Science faces major challenges in tackling the inter-linked problems of poverty and environmental...


Sayer, Jeffrey A.Campbell, Bruce M.[The science of sustainable development: local livelihoods and the global environment]The science of sustainable development: local livelihoods and the global environment

An approach to assessing the environmental outcomes and changes in peoples’ livelihoods resulting from landscape-scale conservation interventions was developed for three locations in Africa. Simple sets of performance indicators were developed through participatory processes that included a varie...


Sayer, Jeffrey A.Campbell, Bruce M.Petheram, L.Aldrich, M.Ruiz Perez, M.Endamana, D.Dongmo, Z.L N.Defo, L.Mariki, S.Doggart, N.Burgess, N.[Assessing environment and development outcomes in conservation landscapes]Assessing environment and development outcomes in conservation landscapes

Effective planning for non-timber forest product (NTFP) development and conservation will ensure the most effective use of scarce resources and maximise the likelihood that the objective will be obtained. NTFP development and conservation is usually a long-term activity and involves the collabora...


Jong, W. deUtama, R.[Turning ideas into action: planning for non-timber forest product development and conservation]Turning ideas into action: planning for non-timber forest product development and conservation

The urgency of the tropical biodiversity crisis continues to be a major justification for wildlife research and its funding. To examine the benefits of this research for on-the-ground conservation, we focused on Borneo, where conservation has a long history and we have direct experience. We compi...


Meijaard, E.Sheil, Douglas[Is wildlife research useful for wildlife conservation in the tropics?: A review for Borneo with global implications]Is wildlife research useful for wildlife conservation in the tropics?: A review for Borneo with global implications

This paper investigates the importance of income generated from marketing selected NWFP in Central Africa., focuses on local markets in Cameroon and at the borders with the Central African Republic (CAR), equatorial Guinea and Gabon. The species considered are Irvingia spp. (bush mango nut), Cola...

The Punan Tubu, a group of hunter-gatherers in East-Kalimantan, Indonesia, are used to illustrate the very real trade-offs that are made between conservation and development. This group has undergone various forms of resettlement in the 20th century, to the point that some are now settled close t...

There is a considerable body of ecological information relevant to the management of tropical forests, but in practice, little of this is used. It is demonstrated how ecology helps to understand forests and forest change and argued that there is an urgent need for a wider appreciation and utilisa...

Putz, F.E.Blate, G.M.Redford, K.H.Fimbel, R.Robinson, J.[Tropical forest management and conservation of biodiversity: an overview]Tropical forest management and conservation of biodiversity: an overview

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...
