Title: Natural resources and decentralization: the use of forests and woodlands in development

Journal Article · · Environ. Prof.; (United States)
OSTI ID:6275170

In recent years international development assistance has begun to emphasize a decentralized approach as a result of trying to provide Basic Needs to the ''poorest of the poor.'' The various resources of forests and woodlands are seen as providing such opportunities to many lesser developed countries (LDC) because at present they often tend to be under-utilized as well as renewable. Potential options are explored for true forest dwellers, forest fringe settlers, and villagers in essentially nonwooded areas.
