    Scott, Penny

Describes a field-level assessment of how people living near the Mount Elgon National Park in Uganda use the park's forest resources. It argues that extractive use of a range of timber and non-timber forest products, if properly monitored and controlled, is not necessarily a threat to biodiversity. The book explains clearly which data gathering methods were chosen and why, and how the results of this assessment can be used to develop collaborative management agreements with local people. Interdisciplinary and practically oriented, this book should be obligatory reading for protected area managers and others who aim to involve rural people in forests and nature conservation

    Reynolds, J. H.

This series reviews the issues and processes involved in the management of biodiversity information to support the conservation and sustainable use of living resources. They also provide a framework for the development of national plans and strategies and for meeting reporting obligations of international programmes and conventions. The handbooks may be used as a training resource or, more generally, to support institutions and networks involved in building capacity in information management

   

A collection of papers, many translated from Russian, originally presented at a seminar held in 1995 to increase international awareness about Kyrgyzstan's unique walnut-fruit forests. Subject matter includes the historical and present-day utilization and management of these forests, their ecological diversity and importance for biodiversity conservation, and measures adopted for the genetic improvement of walnut, Juglans regia, and other commercially important species.

Summaries are provided on the conservation status of over 7,000 globally threatened tree species with the 1994 IUCN categories and criteria assigned. The conservation evaluations were carried out in association with members of the IUCN SSC Specialist Groups and a wide range of experts worldwide. The book concludes that 10 per cent of the world's trees are threatened with extinction and calls for a range of measures to reverse the trend of species loss

    Ingles, A. W. | Jackson, W. J.

Provides a wealth of practical tools and methods for our field workers who work with local communities in developing collaborative management of forests. While the manual focuses on participatory techniques for community forests in Nepal, many of the techniques can be readily applied to other forms of collaborative natural resource management

This report reviews European trade and documents the results of in-depth studies in eight countries: Albania, Bulgaria, France, Germany, Hungary, Spain, Turkey and the UK. It identifies 150 species that could be at risk in one or several countries from over-collection in the wild and provides a range of recommendations to assist in the conservation of these species
