Routledge Wild Product Governance: NTFP Policies & Conservation

Wild Product Governance provides essential guidance on developing effective policy frameworks for non-timber forest products (NTFPs) used as medicines, foods, spices and beyond. This comprehensive resource addresses the critical gap in governance information for those working with NTFPs, which contribute substantially to rural livelihoods whilst generating revenue for companies and governments. The book delivers practical recommendations on drafting, implementing and regulating NTFP policies, alongside broader governance issues affecting biodiversity conservation. Written by experts in forest product management, it serves policymakers, conservation professionals, and business leaders seeking to balance economic development with environmental stewardship in the forestry sector.
