{"product_id":"9781869140502","title":"Indigenous Forests and Woodlands in South Africa","description":"This book represents a defining synthesis of the use and socio-economic value of timber and non-timber resources from indigenous forests and woodlands in South Africa. It provides an up-to-date review of current research and thinking on policies and practices affecting these two biomes. Since 1994, there has been a paradigm shift in the approach to the management of forest and woodland resources, with a move away from former \"preservationist\" policies and an increased emphasis on the sustainable extractive use of natural resources, particularly by rural communities. A growing recognition of the potential value that these resources hold for local economies and livelihoods has been accompanied by the restructuring of national institutions governing forests and woodlands, and a number of new policies for integrated management.","brand":"Booksite","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39357996367987,"sku":"9781869140502","price":152.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2291\/7991\/products\/9781869140502.jpg?v=1665393835","url":"https:\/\/readerswarehouse.us\/products\/9781869140502","provider":"Readers Warehouse","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
