Forests are crucial for ecological balance and human livelihoods, especially in rural areas where communities rely on them for income, energy, and food security. Forest Management for Sustainable Livelihoods explores the complex relationship between forest ecosystems and socio-economic development, combining global perspectives with field research from Northern Nimba County, Liberia. The book examines forestry concepts, the role of forests in supporting livelihoods, and strategies for sustainable management. Drawing on ecological assessments, community surveys, interviews, and policy analysis, it highlights how inclusive forest governance can promote poverty reduction, environmental conservation, and community resilience. Challenges such as deforestation, weak governance, and limited participation are addressed, alongside opportunities and best practices for sustainable forest use. Linking theory, policy, and practice, this book provides actionable insights for researchers, policymakers, and practitioners committed to sustainable forest management and rural development.
