FOR302H1 Chapter Notes -Land Tenure, Community Forestry, Openaccess
Document Summary
In the following article, i will focus on describing the issues of poverty allievation and biodiversity conservation, and demonstrating the significance of these issues and the need to include them in global forest negotiations. To stress the significance of this issue further, the world bank estimates that an astonishing 1. 6 billion people significantly depend on forests to support their livelihoods, with such trends being more prevalent in tropical countries. Some common subsistence resources that forests provide include food, medicine, nutritional supplements, and construction materials (kumar, 2014). Furthermore, a disproportionate amount of these forest dwellers consist of. The reasons for this correlation range and is still being investigated. The powerlessness of forest dwellers to outsiders - that results from isolation, low bargaining power and low education - are some key reasons. Likewise, forests are also a frequent destination for migrants, who are attracted to forests due to their remoteness and open-access qualities (sunderlin et al, 2007; kumar, 2014).
