There is a growing recognition of the contributions of forests and forest products to the lives of rural communities. The Center for International Forestry Research, in its Poverty Environment Network research collection initiative in 33 countries, is revealing that the global livelihood contributions of forests are much higher and more significant than previously anticipated. Its research indicates that forest products provide, on average, one-fifth to one-quarter of household income in rural areas globally (Angelsen, 2011). It is necessary to better understand how local communities rely on forests, in particular during times of duress, how their forest- use patterns change under various climate change scenarios, and how sustainable forest management strategies can support the resilience of local communities. It is also important to understand how approaches to reduce emissions from forests affect local livelihoods.
