It also provides great policy implications in the field of rural development.- Professor Makoto InoueThis is a timely and important book addressing a vital topic for the planet's future, namely how to maintain both tropical biodiversity and the cultures of the peoples living in and around them. It draws on experiences from Bangladesh of shifting cultivation, and shows how careful analysis of people's livelihoods combined with participatory forest management programs can make a difference.
