Routledge Wild Product Governance - Routledge NTFP Policy Book

Wild products, commonly known as non-timber forest products (NTFPs), play a vital role in global ecosystems and economies. These resources serve as essential medicines, foods, and spices, supporting rural livelihoods while generating significant revenue for governments and private companies. They also have a direct impact on biodiversity conservation efforts worldwide. Despite their importance, there is a lack of accessible information for those looking to create effective regulatory frameworks. This book by Routledge addresses this gap by providing practical information and recommendations. It covers the drafting, content, and implementation of NTFP policies, alongside broader governance issues. It is an essential resource for anyone working in conservation, economics, or forest resource management who needs to understand how to build policies that actually work.
