Dear friends and colleagues,
While wishing all of our friends and colleagues a happy and successful 2007, we present this third edition of ForLive Highlights. Among other matters, in this edition we report on the current situation of forest management in Bolivia ten years after the approval of the new Forest Law and the importance of the forest in terms of economic benefits for small farmers in Ecuador. The harvesting of palm fibre from Aphandra natalia by small farmers provides and example of a promising initiative of sustainable forest management in the Amazon.
