There is a rapidly growing interest in, and demand for, non-timber forest products (NTFPs). They provide critical resources across the globe fulfilling nutritional, medicinal, financial and cultural needs. However, they have been largely overlooked in mainstream conservation and forestry politics. This volume explains the use and importance of certification and eco-labelling for guaranteeing best management practices of non-timber forest products in the field. Using extensive case studies and global profiles of non-timber forest products, this work not only seeks to further our comprehension of certification processes but also broaden understanding of non-timber forest product management, harvesting and marketing. It should be useful to forest managers, policy-makers and conservation organizations as well as for academics in these areas.
Employing her own voice and the voices of her colleagues and students, Dr. Wilson-Cone invites readers to look deeply into their own souls and spirits to discover the roots of multicultural diversity in their own lives. In the midst of today’s forces which tend to denigrate various cultures and ethnicities, this valuable resource is a light in the darkness and ought to be in the possession of those who seek to explore openness and inclusiveness in the teaching and learning process.” Rev. Cameron Byrd, D.Min. Retired Certified Educator Association for Clinical Pastoral Education
