Description

The book is the result of a collaborative work of over 140 scientist and experts who acted as authors in different capacities and over 60 reviewers. Building on 27 case studies from different parts of the world the book focuses on conditions that foster or hinder progress towards SFM and forest-related development. 

The case studies use a common analytical framework of prerequisite conditions to examine the implementation of SFM. 

The analysis allows distinguishing prerequisite conditions and combinations of conditions that foster or constrain progress towards SFM and sustainable local development, and the interactions among these conditions.
