Resumen
Descripción
Forests in Asia and the Pacific region are a key resource focal point, requiring managed utilisation for timber and non-timber products, and conservation for biodiversity preservation and carbon sequestration. They are also the site for communities who have lived there for generations and are often among the poorest and most marginalised in their respective countries. The livelihoods of these people are dependent upon an income derived from forest resources. Yet forest communities, many of which comprise Indigenous Peoples, live and operate under customary tenure systems that often go unrecognised by state actors.
