  "Any time you hear someone say there are 'no alternatives' to centralized state control of sensitive forest areas, reach for this book. Providing the sort of perspective that can come only from those closely engaged in the tough realities of local forest struggles, it both informs and inspires."
  Larry Lohmann, author of Pulping the South

  Forests for the Future presents the experiences and recommendations of local groups on how to re-establish community control over forest lands and preserve them for the future.

Seventeen case studies come from all around the world and include tropical, temperate and boreal zones. They describe the many efforts undertaken to consolidate the still vital tradition of community forest management.
