The devastating environmental effects of deforestation and the
exploitation of other natural resources in the developing world
have been well documented, yet their impact on local communities
has received far less attention. This volume fills this gap by
looking at how land degradation and deforestation are being
addressed at the local level, where households have experienced the
reduction of farm size and the decline of natural resources.
Through a comparison of Asia and Africa, "Land Tenure and Natural
Resource Management" examines the evolution of land tenure
institutions within diverse cultural, natural, and policy
environments. Specific topics include the evolution of customary
land tenure, the impacts of land tenure policies, and common
property management. The editors conclude that the best strategy
for managing land and forest resources lies in promoting the
establishment of property rights and investment in the improvement
of the natural resource base.
