Abstract

In various developing countries around the world, communities that use trees and forests often face challenges because of the conflicting interest of the people. Many groups claim the right to use the trees, whether they are loggers, rubber tappers, or ranchers. This conflict on who has the right to the trees often leads to armed conflict.
