Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This review summarizes the published literature, as well as any available information provided by NGOs or project proponents, on the practice of community forest management (CFM) in the Peruvian Amazon. It provides an overview of literature related to land-use and forest management by rural populations in the Peruvian Amazon, placing this information in the broader context of the forestry sector in Peru. The review describes the different manifestations of CFM in Peru and the most widely studied cases of CFM projects. The document also examines some emerging initiatives, summarizes the main challenges for CFM and highlights important areas for future research. One key finding of this review is that there is a general lack of scientific analyses of CFM in Peru: most information is available only via project reports prepared by project proponents and/or donors. The review stresses that community forest management takes many forms. People throughout the Amazon have long relied on forest resources for their shifting cultivation systems, and timber and NTFPs are central to the livelihoods of many. Typically, forest use has occurred informally with little oversight or control by the state. Beginning in the 1980s, environmental NGOs have introduced CFM initiatives in Peru. To date, most CFM projects focus only on indigenous communities to support timber management; by contrast, scientific studies have focused on forest use within subsistence livelihood systems. Given that there are approximately 2 million non-indigenous rural Amazonians in Peru, the forest footprint and market impacts of non-indigenous smallholder forest management are likely to be much greater than recognized. However, very little is known about these endogenous smallholder-led systems. More research is needed to increase our understanding of the heterogeneity of these systems and the opportunities and challenges that they represent.

Download or read book Land use change in four landscapes in the Peruvian Amazon written by Marcus, M. and published by CIFOR. This book was released on 2020-09-09 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This working paper uses remote sensing data and methods to characterize land cover change in four sites in the lowland Peruvian Amazon over a period of three decades (1987-2017). Multi-village landscapes were purposefully selected to include road accessible sites and others only accessible by river. Landscape analysis focused on buffers around the selected villages used to approximate the areas of influence of farmers in these communities. Deforestation in the Peruvian Amazon has been commonly attributed to agriculture expansion by smallholders. This belief falls short in acknowledging that the contribution of smallholder deforestation is mediated by others decisions around infrastructure development. In this analysis, road connected landscapes experienced greater loss of closed-canopy forest while closed canopy forest remained mostly stable in the river sites over the thirty year study period. Results indicated that closed canopy forest loss occurred in parallel with agricultural expansion at the road sites. The findings contribute to a more nuanced understanding of local land use dynamics and the role of regional infrastructure development as a driver of forest loss.

This book was released on 2009 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Targeted household surveys provided an analysis of how these occurrences influenced their livelihood decision-making processes. The evaluation of the changing driving forces focused on how policies influenced the outcome of economic processes. The results show that distinct policies are associated with different patterns of land-use/landcover change. For example, policies that favored cattle expansion influenced an increase in pasture areas. Policies associated with credit availability facilitated the expansion of agriculture areas, increasing deforestation. The results of the dissertation have implications not only for understanding tropical deforestation and land-use/land-cover change, but also for policymaking in Peru and other countries that share the Amazon and other tropical rainforests.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Acting as the planet's air conditioner, the rainforest sucks up millions of tons of greenhouse gases and stores them safely out of the atmosphere. South America's deforestation threatens to unleash a kind of "carbon bomb" that will add to our already deteriorating climate difficulties. As he travels across Peru and Brazil, recognized South America expert Nikolas Kozloff talks to locals, scientists and activists about the rainforest and what should be done to avert its collapse. Drawing on his expertise of South American politics, Kozloff argues that cooperation between the world's countries is essential in turning back the tide of climate change and that the fate of the planet depends on our response to environmental problems within the southern hemisphere.

This book was released on 2021-07-08 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides an analysis of the recent governance of the Amazon in Brazil, Peru, Bolivia and Colombia with a particular focus on deforestation processes, demonstrating that current policies and political and socioeconomic dynamics in the four countries are risking the forest’s resilience. The authors examine and compare Amazonian politics and policies under different administrations, concentrating on the main actors, policies and dynamics that have affected the region, as well as on the institutional and political environment in which deforestation processes were embedded in different periods. Essentially, the book makes an analytical contribution towards a better understanding of the political, economic and social challenges confronting conservation policy in the Amazonian countries. Climate Change and Biodiversity Governance in the Amazon: At the Edge of Ecological Collapse? is essential reading for students and researchers in the fields of environmental studies and sustainability, Latin American studies, political science and international relations, as well as for policymakers and practitioners working in conservation and development.

This book was released on 2013 with total page 155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I draw on a time series of satellite imagery spanning the period from 1986 to 2010, during which the driving forces behind land cover change in Madre de Dios all exhibited substantial alterations. The findings show strong non-linearities over time and substantial spatial differences across the study region. Finally, the third part of the analysis focuses on the emergence of grassroots organizations and the question of what factors affect their effectiveness in promoting sustainable development. I focus on a farmer federation that aggregated various community associations and engaged government, non-governmental organizations and other social actors. I employ a two-tier theoretical framework that highlights social capital within the federation and the broader political ecology that constituted the federation's context as sources of explanations for federation effectiveness. The findings show that while the federation was initially very effective, it has more recently experienced difficulties. And, both social capital and political ecology are important to understanding federation effectiveness, and the lack thereof.

Download or read book The Fate of the Forest written by Susanna B. Hecht and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2011-01-15 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Amazon rain forest covers more than five million square kilometers, amid the territories of nine different nations. It represents over half of the planet’s remaining rain forest. Is it truly in peril? What steps are necessary to save it? To understand the future of Amazonia, one must know how its history was forged: in the eras of large pre-Columbian populations, in the gold rush of conquistadors, in centuries of slavery, in the schemes of Brazil’s military dictators in the 1960s and 1970s, and in new globalized economies where Brazilian soy and beef now dominate, while the market in carbon credits raises the value of standing forest. Susanna Hecht and Alexander Cockburn show in compelling detail the panorama of destruction as it unfolded, and also reveal the extraordinary turnaround that is now taking place, thanks to both the social movements, and the emergence of new environmental markets. Exploring the role of human hands in destroying—and saving—this vast forested region, The Fate of the Forest pivots on the murder of Chico Mendes, the legendary labor and environmental organizer assassinated after successful confrontations with big ranchers. A multifaceted portrait of Eden under siege, complete with a new preface and afterword by the authors, this book demonstrates that those who would hold a mirror up to nature must first learn the lessons offered by some of their own people.
