Full talk title - Managing the Wild: Baseline Data for Sustainable Use of Tropical Forest Resources
Based on his recent work in Southeast Asia with rattan palms, Dr. Peters discusses the importance of inventory and growth data in sustainable resource use. Just as a banker would not think of managing an investment without knowing the size of the principal and the interest rate, foresters also need detailed information about the inventory and growth rate of the plant populations that they manage. These diagnostic data are best collected by the community groups that plan to use them. Following the talk is a demonstration of some of the resources and tools used to manage wild populations of tropical forest species.
