Resumen
Descripción
The aim of this Guide is to describe the natural resources situation and outlook in developing countries and demonstrate the value of using incentives to promote community involvement in forestry and conservation programmes. An attempt is made to standardize the language of specialists by providing basic definitions and these are followed by a discussion of the problems arising from inappropriate land and water use. The advantages of rural communities exploiting resources more rationally are als o shown. The incentives themselves are classified, defined and analysed, and ways of applying them at national and project level are discussed. Examples are provided of the effects incentives have had in various countries.
