This book provides a timely insight into the relationships between extreme conflict, the international trade in forest products, and the social, economic and environmental condition of tropical forests and their human communities. It explores the underlying causes and the social and environmental consequences of conflict in tropical forest areas. Case studies from Africa, Asia, and Latin America present a range of issues, from illicit crops and "conflict timber" production, to the potential of peace parks for improving human security, social quality, and biodiversity conservation. With implications for specific aspects of security, environment, development, forest policy and international relations, this book will be an important resource for both students and researchers exploring these issues as well as a useful background for practitioners and policy makers working in these fields.
