: Tropical Forest Goods and Ecosystem Services: Facing Global Change
The emergence of global natural resource management instruments will be a determining factor in the future of tropical forests: ecosystem services, biodiversity conservation and management, biomass use for energy production, and also increased demand for land, and so on. By generating new activities, such policies can improve the capacity of rural societies to adapt. |
