O'Hara, P.2007-11-132006-03-062007-11-132002http://hdl.handle.net/10625/32701The newsletter reviews what it means to work in a participatory way with Indigenous forest communities towards community forestry. The impact of colonialism has been devastating for forests and communities in the wider “British Empire.” Outsiders often trained in a Euro-centric formal academic way seem to be a homogenous bunch, while community members are often devoid of secure rights to use their forests legally because of decisions made by outsiders. Problems may include trying to get products labelled as ‘illegal’ to the market, which helps individual regulators who decide to benefit from ‘under the table’ salary supplements and allow the product to pass.1 digital fileapplication/pdfenCOMMUNITY FORESTRYFORESTRYFOREST MANAGEMENTCOLONIALISMFOREST POLICYDECOLONIZATIONDEFORESTATIONENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENTLOCALIZATIONREGULATIONDEVELOPMENT THEORYGLOBAL SOUTHBulletin or Newsletter
