Of particular interest for extractivism in tropical forest areas are useful species that occur at high density, such as the palm tucuma (Astrocaryum tucuma Martius-syn. A. aculeatum G.F.W. Meyer), a colonizer of disturbed areas in the central Amazon, whose edible fruits have found an interesting ...

To manage tree plantations or natural forests effectively requires close attention to interactive aspects of environmental, economic social and management factors. Extrapolation of results is crucial to the adoption of research findings and it is important to estimate the extent to which results ...
This paper discusses two cases of honey procurement in the province of West Kalimantan, Indonesia. Both involve the same resource, i.e. honey from Apis dorsata bees. However, in each case this resource is handled differently, showing that local resource management practices may be very site speci...

Assessing the performance of management is central to natural resource management, in terms of improving the efficiency of interventions in an adaptive-learning cycle. This is not simple, given that such systems generally have multiple scales of interaction and response; high frequency of non-lin...
