Sustainable management of palm swamp peatlands by local communities
By Landscape Alliance / CIFOR-ICRAF
A community-centered approach to conserving peatland forests while supporting local livelihoods.
Focused on the Peruvian Amazon, this presentation explores how local communities can help manage palm swamp peatlands that store carbon and sustain biodiversity.
It describes work on community management plans, sustainable harvesting, local organizations and market opportunities for forest products. Conservation and livelihood goals are considered together rather than in isolation.
