In
managing tropical forests today, the efforts in
countries with low forest cover are increasingly
directed in protecting each segment of the remaining
forest. They do this by promoting the more
traditional methods of managing resources
practiced by communities that have a long-term
dependence on the forest. They also look upon the
forest in the broader context of social relations.
Each socio-culturally related forest block requires
a particular management method that is appropriate
to the local context and that relates the local
community to the state as monitor. Participatory
mapping and PGIS applications are extensively
discussed in the context of community-based forest
management.
