Making a bridge between livelihoods and forest conservation: Lessons from non timber forest products' utilization in South Sumatera, Indonesia (2018, background): “Furthermore, NTFPs contribute significantly not only to the livelihoods of rural residents (Sunderlin et al., 2005; Wunder, 2003; Wunder et al., 2014; Neumann and Hirsch, 2000; Steele et al., 2014), but also to those who are less formally forest proximate people (Newton et al., 2016).”
Charcoal, livelihoods, and poverty reduction: Evidence from sub-Saharan Africa (2013, background): “, 2006), or local forest/livelihood interactions (Byron and Arnold, 1999; Sunderlin et al., 2005).”
Livelihood strategies and forest dependence: New insights from Bolivian forest communities (2013, background): “The importance of these timber and non-timber forest products to people's livelihoods and wellbeing has been documented for various tropical regions (Wiersum, 1997; Sunderlin et al., 2005).”
Links between the Local Trade in Natural Products, Livelihoods and Poverty Alleviation in a Semi-arid Region of South Africa (2008, background): “…is complex and variable, and limited empirical data from across a range of regions, vegetation types, and socio-economic contexts are available to assess the ability of these products to create lasting opportunities for local livelihood enhancement ([FAO, 2003] and [Sunderlin et al., 2005]).”
Contribution of forest provisioning ecosystem services to rural livelihoods in the Miombo woodlands of Zambia (2013, background): “Households in the study area were shown to combine a number of income streams, using multiple sources of income to diversify their livelihoods, as was consistent with existing literature on rural livelihoods (Belcher et al. 2005; Ellis 2000; Sunderlin et al. 2005).”
Forest Incomes and Poverty Alleviation Under Participatory Forest Management in the Bale Highlands, Southern Ethiopia (2010, background): “However, the main dilemma is whether forest production can successfully be made more pro-poor to provide pathways out of poverty (Sunderlin et al., 2005) or whether going out of the forest is a better and more desirable option to the forest-dependent poor (Levang et al.”
New Rights for Forest-Based Communities? Understanding Processes of Forest Tenure Reform (2010, methodology): “…forestry was Sources: 2006 or 2007 data from Pulhin and Ramirez (2008), Larson et al (2008) and Oyono et al (2008), reported in Dahal et al. (forthcoming). originally promoted to halt rapid deforestation and protect and conserve forests (Kanel 2004, Kanel et al. 2005, Sunderlin et al. 2005).”
The poverty of forestry policy: double standards on an uneven playing field (2007, background): “Sunderlin et al. (2005) specifically examine the poverty-alleviation potential of forests, particularly through community forest management, tree planting, non-timber forest products and environmental service payments (also see Ndoye and Tieguhong 2004).”
Forests, Livelihoods, and Conservation: Broadening the Empirical Base (2014, background): “(iii) Forest-rich areas offer little leverage for development policy interventions In continuation of the previous point, areas rich in natural forest areas typically exhibit a high poverty incidence, but due to low population numbers poverty densities typically remain low (Sunderlin et al., 2008).”
Why Forests Are Important for Global Poverty Alleviation: a Spatial Explanation (2008, background): “The open-access character of wide areas of public forests in developing countries assure that the poor are often relatively unhindered in making use of forest resources (Sunderlin et al. 2005).”
Participatory Forest Management: A Route to Poverty Reduction? (2009, background): “This shift in emphasis took place within the context of a global focus on poverty reduction and the recognition that the very location of many of the world’s poorest people in and around forests suggested an important role for forests in poverty alleviation (Sunderlin et al. 2005, Hobley 2006).”
The Role of Forest-Related Income in Household Economies and Rural Livelihoods in the Border-Region of Southern China (2013, result): “Many of the case studies that focus on forest and environmental income from natural forests suggest that forest products play a role in filling seasonal income gaps and as safety nets in times of crises (Byron & Arnold, 1999; Fisher & Shively, 2005; McSweeney, 2004; Pattanayak & Sills, 2001; Paumgar”
