What is a forest and what is a forest product. ie. Cashew vs. açaí vs What is a forest and what is a forest product? ie. Cashew vs. açaí vs. brazil nut Forest areas in LA group represent a continuum of forest types: From mature to various levels of degradation PEN Guidelines last word on definition: FAO definition of forest 10% canopy cover over 0.5 ha = forest ie. Cashew vs. açaí vs. brazil nut – are they considered equally as forest products? PEN consensus– if you classified as forest, it should be a forest product Any analysis needs to be clear about this distinction

Comparative analysis 1: Cash in-flow influence on household behavior Remittances (Belize, Guatemala, Ecuador, Bolivia) Government aid (Brazil, Ecuador) PFS (Bolivia, Brazil) Some represent large shares of hh income How do these impact well-being? How do these impact smallholder activities, forest use?

Comparative analysis 2: Deforestation Land cover and deforestation estimates represent the only data collected related to land cover change Some studies also have access to land cover data Look at deforestation as endogenous or exogenous to poverty = “chicken or egg” problem

Comparative analysis 3: Land tenure influence on forest income Agro-extractive and extractive reserves, indigenous reserves, colonist farmer or riverine settlements, (individual vs. communal title; customary vs. statuatory rights) Possible focus on village-level variables across sites?

Other topics for exploration: Cultural dimensions of ancient crops (ie chakra system, milpa)Guatemala, Ecuador Tourism contribution (Belize, Ecuador) – vietnam, bangledesh? Chain of custody (middlemen) for timber and NTFP Collaboration with RAVA (11 studies in 7 Amazonian countries)
