UNESCO ENVIRONMENT AND DEVELOPMENT BRIEFS

The series of Unesco Environment and Development Briefs is intended to improve the communication to decision-makers of scientific information about environment and development. The series is addressed primarily to decision-makers in government who need a quick, authoritative and readable overview of topics presented in a policy perspective and including possible strategies for action. Each 16-page brief focuses on a single issue related to the overall quest for sustainable development. Topics addressed in Briefs 1-7 are debt-for-nature swaps, ground water, new technologies of remote sensing and geographic information systems, reshaping education towards sustainable development, disaster reduction, coping with natural hazard, and coasts: managing complex systems and biodiversity.

Income opportunities in special forest products

This publication describes special forest products that represent opportunities for rural entrepreneurs to supplement their incomes. The types of products discussed Include aromatics, berries and wild fruits, cones and seeds, forest botanicals, honey, mushrooms, nuts, syrup, and weaving and dyeing materials. Each chapter describes market and competition considerations, distribution and packaging, equipment needs, and resource conservation considerations, and presents a profile of a rural business marketing the products. In general, products suitable for very small or part-time operations are described. A suggested role for each type of microenterprise within a broader rural economic development framework is also mentioned.

THE WILD PLANT RESOURCES HANDBOOK

As a way of disseminating information and responding to requests, the WWF-Unesco-RBG Kew "People and Plants Initiative" will publish a handbook that can later be made available on computerized networks and updated on a regular basis.

As a companion volume to the People and Plants conservation manuals, the handbook will be a valuable aid to park managers, foresters, cultural promoters, members of NGOs and other people interested in pursuing an ethnobotanical approach. In addition to giving general advice and a philosophical orientation to readers, it will provide specific answers to many of the practical questions posed by participants in basic or applied ethnobotanical projects.

Tropical forests, people and food

In this book, scientists from disciplines spanning the nature/and social sciences have focused on the biocultural interactions between tropical forest food resources and the communities they sustain. The 74 chapters are organized into six major sections dealing with: evolution and history of tropical forests in relation to food availability; food production and nutritional value of wild and semi-cultivated species; adaptive aspects of food consumption and energy expenditure; feeding strategies in relation to environmental variation; cultural factors in food choices; and management alternatives for the rational use of tropical forests in years to come.

The book's interdisciplinary approach makes it a valuable source of ideas and data upon which nature/and social scientists can draw for discussion and analysis. It will also assist managers, planners, development agencies and concerned individuals in making the right decisions about the future of tropical forests and the people who live in them.
