摘要
This review paper aims to contextualise seven principle variants of Indigenour forest management (FM), and to summarise the key findings from studies into Indigenous management of timber, non-timber forest products (NTFPs), and cultural spaces. The author starts by defining key terms, then considers the historical and current socio-economic contexts of Indigenous FM; the situation of land tenure; stakeholder power balances; Indigenous Forestry's influence on wider forestry; and the influence of guidlines such as Access and Benefit Sharing, and Free, Prior and Informed Consent in improving all forms of forestry. The author presents examples of Indigenous corporation or community management of timber and NTFPs, and rentire practices, before assessing Indigenous participation in VSS, and Public Trust and Indigenous Trust doctrines for improved governance of Indigenous Territories and resources.
