Abstract/Summary:
The essential idea for this book originated from an acknowledgement of the changing social and natural circumstances, and the related drivers of change affecting forests, forestry, human society, and the environment, globally and locally. We are convinced that forests and forest- related matters can no longer be addressed in isolation from the surrounding society and natural environment; instead, these need to be seen as an integral part of interrelated social and natural systems.
