Sustainable Forest Management in Latin America: Relevant Actors and Policies

Abstract

This paper analyzes the role of particular social and economic actors in the forest sector, and the impact of existing policies in the region. The aim is to visualize the options that are available to improve forest policies and practices that will in turn generate income and ensure sustainability with the active participation of the actors. Information presented in the document, as well as the conclusions on possible strategic lines of action with the participation of affected actors provide a good basis for discussion and will contribute to the improvement of the quality of the Bank's investment projects in this area.Environmental economics, Sustainability, Afro Descendents & Indigenous Peoples, Environmental Policy, Forests & forestry, Quintana Roo (México), forest practices, forestry, enviroment, policy impact, forest management, indigenous population
