Linking FLEGT and REDD+ to Improve Forest Governance
The publication presents 22 experiences and viewpoints from around the world about the linkages between FLEGT, REDD+ and other international forest management initiatives.

From Conflict to Collaboration
This book describes a field-level assessment of how people living near the Mount Elgon National Park in Uganda use the park's forest resources.
