O livro A VEREDA ENTRE EUCALIPTOS é uma narrativa que toma forma de romance/fantasia/ficção científica e conta a história de misterioso desaparecimento acontecido diante dos olhos incrédulos das pessoas ao redor. Ao ler as primeiras linhas deste romance, o leitor pode pensar de imediato, que a estória se encaminha para o ambiente de trama policial, para em seguida, descobrir sua realidade bem diversa.

There is a rapidly growing interest in, and demand for, non-timber forest products (NTFPs). They provide critical resources across the globe fulfilling nutritional, medicinal, financial and cultural needs. However, they have been largely overlooked in mainstream conservation and forestry politics. This volume explains the use and importance of certification and eco-labelling for guaranteeing best management practices of non-timber forest products in the field. Using extensive case studies and global profiles of non-timber forest products, this work not only seeks to further our comprehension of certification processes but also broaden understanding of non-timber forest product management, harvesting and marketing. It should be useful to forest managers, policy-makers and conservation organizations as well as for academics in these areas.
