Communities and Sustainable Forestry in Developing Countries (Self-Governing Communities)

Time tested techniques are what are called as indigenous technical knowledge. This knowledge has been existing since ages and will continue to do so in the future, provided we, the present generation, spare time to care for it. The book unfolds a new way to look at things and at lives who are dependent on the forests for their livelihood. The concept of sustainability lies at the centre of the lives of forest communities in developing countries. This concept is an inescapable feature and a part of their culture of the lives of these people. The book gives valuable insight into these aspects and also gives a birds eye view of the scenario.
