Feasibility study of community forests in Gabon

Viac o knihe

The field mission in Gabon reveals a lack of local management methods aligned with the "community forest" concept, suggesting its exogenous nature. Preliminary tests are necessary for broader applicability. While examining village management practices uncovers potential partnership formulas, the diversity of traditional methods indicates that a one-size-fits-all model is impractical. Therefore, developing community forestry management will require a tailored regulatory framework that reflects the variety of existing local practices across Gabon.
