leading to an overall decrease in the world's forest cover. The
forests of Asia, in particular, have been strongly impacted. A
number of initiatives have suggested forest policy reforms, and the
need for the sustainable management of forests has been widely
recognized and encouraged. But because implementation of reforms at
the local level has been insufficient, it is imperative that local
people begin to effectively participate in forest planning and
management as well as in protected-area management. The Forest
Conservation Project, launched in April 1998 by the Institute for
Global Environmental Strategies (IGES), has carried out research
activities on forest strategies, including policy analysis and
on-site surveys. This book gives an overview of the project's
research activities in its first three-year phase (April1998-March
2001). Since viable forest strategies work best when based on the
involvement of local people, this report is addressed to
stakeholders in the communities of the relevant countries,
including local people and authorities, community-based
organizations, experts, national agencies, and international
institutions.
