"The book is very effective in communicating the many aspects, dimensions and interpretations of sustainable forest management (SFM).It is clearly born out of an ambitious remit to present an overview of SFM across all its dimensions. In this, it is by and large successful. It provides an effective entry into almost any SFM topic."Review in Scottish Forestry by Professor Jaboury Ghazoul, ETH Zurich/University of Edinburgh"Achieving Sustainable Management of Tropical Forests provides an excellent and essential read for those with responsibility for managing the world's tropical forests.The editors, Dr Blaser and Dr Hardcastle, are to be congratulated for editing the chapters into a very consistent read. Each chapter is authored by an expert or experts in the particular geography and/or discipline as social, governance, tenure, biology, rural livelihoods, climate change, products etc."Journal of Forestry - Society of American ForestersAlthough global rates of deforestation have started to decrease, they remain alarmingly high in many tropical countries. In light of this challenge, the growing importance of sustainable forest management (SFM) has been highlighted as a means for improving sustainability across the sector.Achieving sustainable management of tropical forests summarises and reviews the rich body of research on tropical forests and how this research can be utilised to make sustainable management of tropical forests a standard implementable strategy for the future. The book features expert discussions on the economic, political and environmental contexts needed for SFM to operate successfully, including coverage of the UN's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).With its distinguished editors and international array of expert authors, Achieving sustainable management of tropical forests will be a standard reference for researchers in tropical forest science, international and national organisations responsible for protection and responsible stewardship of tropical forests, as well as the commercial sector harvesting and using tropical forest products.
