IUFRO The Advocate for Forest Science.
Sustainable Forest Management and Poverty Alleviation: Roles of Traditional
Forest-related Knowledge
John A. Parrotta, Liu Jinlong, Sim Heok-Choh (editors). Vienna, IUFRO, 2008 – 223 p.
IUFRO World Series 21 presents the extended abstracts from the international conference "Sustainable Forest Management and Poverty Alleviation: Roles of Traditional Forest-related Knowledge", convened in Kunming, Yunnan Province, China, 17-20 December 2007 by the IUFRO Task Force on Traditional Forest Knowledge. Traditional forest-related knowledge (TFRK) has long been known to have important implications for forest management and conservation of forest biodiversity, as well as identification of valuable genetic resources. The actual and potential importance of forest science to helping protect and realize the full potential of TFRK was given considerable attention during the conference.
