Summary provided by GTZ
The project aims to improve the scientific basis of sustainable forest development and, hence, to help implement the Rio resolutions within the context of development cooperation. Application-oriented research serves to improve our understanding of tropical forest ecosystems and their reciprocity with the economic and social dimensions of human development. The project also serves to promote and encourage practice-oriented young German and local researchers as the basis for development and dissemination of ecologically, economically and socially appropriate forestry production systems.
