This book brings together experiences with a rich variety of sustainable forest and tree resource management partnerships in various countries in Latin America – Trinidad, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Guyana, Brazil and Ecuador. The authors reflect on the scope, objectives, institutional organisation and benefits of partnerships, on the actors involved and excluded, and on the hindrances associated with overcoming cultural differences, institutional barriers, power imbalances and diverging interests. The question that runs as a common thread through this book is whether, and under what conditions, partnerships for sustainable forest and resource management can contribute to pro-poor, socially just and environmentally-friendly forest governance. By presenting the lessons learned from a wide range of partnerships, this book is a valuable resource for students, scholars and practitioners dealing with new governance forms in forest and natural resource management.

"This is the best work on recent policy debates over sustainable development, conservation, and livelihood in the forest I have read in years. It offers a lucid and unblinking exploration of 'partnership' as a means to reconcile seemly unbridgeable conflicts between states, business interests, forest dwellers, and biodiversity conservation in the interest of sustainable, equitable, and ecologically sound practices in forest land use." – Eduardo Silva, University of Missouri-St. Louis"This is an excellent volume which brings a large range of new case study material from Latin America onto the international stage. It is a significant contribution to the growing debate on cross-sector partnerships in natural resource management and will be of interest to academics, policymakers and practitioners alike for the sensible, cautionary lessons yielded." – Anthony Hall, London School of Economics
