Forest landscapes and community development: science, scale and sustainability

Export citation

Despite decades of efforts to secure tropical forests and reduce threats to biodiversity, loss of tropical forests continues unabated. Although it is safe to assume that there is no longer a shortage of solutions, efforts to integrated management options at landscape scales remain inadequate. Community Forestry, though not new, is one of many forest conservation and management models to be applied and tested in the West Africa region. This paper advocates for an integrated approach that combines community forestry with other management options at appropriate landscape scales in order to foster community development in Liberia
