| dc.description | The proceedings of a workshop held from 1 to 2 September 2003 in Beijing, China gathered over 60 experts from 16 countries in the Asia-Pacific region and from international organizations. The workshop examined the opportunities that community forestry can offer in alleviating poverty for people living in forest-dependent communities. For centuries forests have been providing subsistence as well as income to the communities living in and near them. Forests therefore can be an effective resource b ase for alleviation of poverty in rural areas. New and innovative means have to be formulated so that community forestry can become a major source of income, particularly to marginalized communities. Sustainable management, marketing, processing and value addition to forest products are some areas for further exploration. This publication is a compilation of the experiences of many countries in the Asian region in implementing community forestry. | |
